Joel Embiid Resting On Monday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) won't play in Monday's preseason matchup in Toronto.

Chris Boucher Out For The Preseason Opener

Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (finger) won't suit up for the preseason opener against the visiting 76ers.
