The streaking Philadelphia 76ers continue their quest for the No. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference when they visit the struggling Atlanta Hawks on Friday at Philips Arena. But they'll have to do it without leading scorer and rebounder Joel Embiid.
Embiid suffered a facial contusion in the second quarter Wednesday's game against the Knicks when he collided with teammate Markelle Fultz. Embiid cleared concussion protocol and was taken to the hospital for testing.
He will not join the team on the trip to Atlanta and is expected to miss two games.
