Joel Embiid 2019 Playoff Ailments: Timeline of Injuries and Illnesses

Joel Embiid has had plenty of minor issues pop up during the 2019 playoffs.

The 76ers center has only missed one postseason game this year, but he's been a regular on the injury report for various reasons. It seems unlikely Embiid will miss more games barring a major setback, but nothing is certain.

Ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the Raptors, the 76ers announced Embiid missed shootaround with an upper respiratory infection. It's the most recent in a long line of ailments that have afflicted the two-time All-Star.
