"Embiid felt soreness in the knee after scoring 33 points in 33 minutes during Saturday's win over the Phoenix Suns, sources told ESPN. He then sat out Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers in Portland. Sources said that while the soreness has decreased, he sat out again the Knicks and will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break."
""I think anybody that's a little sore and dinged up can get some treatment for a week and get off their feet for a week," 76ers coach Nick Nurse said, "and he's certainly included in that." After a slow start to the season, Embiid has come on strong over the last two months. He's averaging 26.6 points and 7.5 rebounds across 31 games this season."
Joel Embiid did not play against the New York Knicks because of right knee injury management. He experienced knee soreness after scoring 33 points in 33 minutes in Saturday's win over the Phoenix Suns and missed Monday's loss in Portland. Although the soreness has decreased, Embiid was held out again and will be re-evaluated after the All‑Star break. The team hopes prolonged rest before the stretch run will help him get healthy. Embiid is averaging 26.6 points and 7.5 rebounds across 31 games this season. The 76ers remain without Paul George, suspended 25 games.
