Joel Embiid to miss expected preseason debut vs. Brooklyn Nets

The Philadelphia 76ers continue their preseason campaign with a trip to New York City to take on the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night, and they will still be without Joel Embiid.

The Sixers are 0-2 in the preseason so far, but were anticipating getting a huge, 7-foot boost to face the Nets with Embiid having been expected to make his preseason debut on Monday, per head coach Nick Nurse.

From Nick Nurse:

Joel Embiid expected to play tomorrow in Brooklyn.

As James Harden said Friday, aim is for him to play in preseason finale.
