It sounds like the Sixers’ superstar Joel Embiid may not simply be dealing with left knee tendinitis. He may now be sick as well. The team has a must win game tonight in Toronto after falling 1-0 in the best of 7 game series against the Raptors. They’ll certainly need a better showing tonight from Embiid who was held to 16 points on 18 shots on Saturday. But will Embiid be at full strength?
It was reported by Serena Winters of NBCS Philadelphia that Joel is dealing with a case of gastroenteritis and will miss the shootaround because of it.
