Joel Embiid Expected to Miss Play-In Tournament
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (abdomen) is expected to sit out the Play-In Tournament, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The former MVP underwent a successful appendectomy on Thursday, missing the final few games of the regular season. "He's not expected to play during the Play-In Tournament," Charania said on Monday during an appearance on NBA Today. "My understanding is he's in the very early stages of his recovery process from appendicitis. He has to recover first, then there will be a separate physical part of the rehab as well." Unfortunately, Philadelphia is forced to start another postseason without Embiid, and it's unclear when he can rejoin the lineup. The team will lean on Andre Drummond and Adem Bona at center while he's out.
