Joel Embiid ruled out for matchup vs. Magic

The 76ers have officially ruled out Joel Embiid for Wednesday night’s game against the Orlando Magic, announcing that he has yet to join the team on this roadtrip. This will be the second straight contest Embiid has missed due to a left ankle sprain he suffered last Friday against the Toronto Raptors.

Joel Embiid is not here and he will be OUT tomorrow against the Magic. His status is not yet determined for Houston and he’s still receiving treatment. #Sixers

The Sixers fell to 0-4 without Embiid, the reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week, when they lost on Christmas Day to the Miami Heat.
