Sixers will be without star big man Joel Embiid in road matchup vs. Pacers
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The Philadelphia 76ers were already shorthanded heading into Tuesday’s matchup with the Indiana Pacers as they will be without Furkan Korkmaz and Matisse Thybulle, but now they will be missing their star big man in the matchup as well.
MVP candidate Joel Embiid was questionable heading into the matchup due to a non-COVID illness and he has now been ruled out for the matchup on Tuesday. Embiid has been dealing with right shoulder soreness recently and he has also been dealing with his recovery from a bone bruise in his left knee that kept him sidelined for a while.
A rest with Indiana missing Myles Turner is not the worst thing in the world for him as they prepare for the NBA Playoffs.
Joel Embiid is out tonight #Sixers
