Report: Joel Embiid to miss Game 4 with knee sprain

Time, it would appear, is a flat circle.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne are reporting that Joel Embiid will miss Game 4 tomorrow afternoon against the Brooklyn Nets.

This is the third straight year that Embiid has suffered an injury in the first round of the playoffs. Last year he suffered a torn ligament in his right thumb in Game 3 and a broken face in the closeout game against the Toronto Raptors, and suffered a meniscus injury in Game 4 against the Washington Wizards in 2021.
