Joel Embiid Unlikely To Play In Game 5
4 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is doubtful for Game 5 against Washington. Embiid injured his right knee late in the first quarter of Monday's loss to the Wizards and has been battling soreness ever since. If he is out, Dwight Howard and Mike Scott could see more minutes, although both are risky DFS options. Instead, coach Doc Rivers may run small once again, which could open the door for Tyrese Maxey, who had 15 points in Game 4, to continue to benefit.
