Philadelphia 76ers still forced to 'wait and see' on Joel Embiid status after falling into 0-2 hole vs. Miami Heat

MIAMI -- After dropping their first two games on the shores of Biscayne Bay to open up this Eastern Conference semifinal against the Heat without superstar big man Joel Embiid, one question looms over the Philadelphia 76ers as the series shifts back to the City of Brotherly Love for Game 3 Friday night:

Will Embiid be able to play in Game 3?
