76ers' Doc Rivers 'not sure' when Joel Embiid (knee) will return

NEW YORK - Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers said his message to both injured superstar Joel Embiid and the rest of his team ahead of Game 4 of their first round series with the Brooklyn Nets here at Barclays. Center was the same: dealing with Embiid's latest postseason injury is just another thing to manage in what Rivers and the 76ers hope will be a long and successful playoff run.

"Obviously, clearly that's on your mind," Rivers said of Embiid's past injury history after he suffered a right knee sprain in Philadelphia's Game 3 win Thursday night.
