Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is out for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz and will receive further evaluation on his left knee in the next 24 hours, a team official told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Embiid is expected to travel back to Philadelphia and not join team in Utah, the official told Wojnarowski.

Embiid injured his left knee in the fourth quarter of Tuesday night's 119-107 loss to the Golden State Warriors.

The injury occurred with 4:04 left in the game as Embiid was being double-teamed by the Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green.
