The injury-riddled Philadelphia 76ers are already without All-Star Ben Simmons, who is scheduled for surgery on his partially dislocated left kneecap.
The health of All-Star center Joel Embiid is now also in question after he injured his left ankle on Sunday in the team's three-point loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Embiid will not play Tuesday in the 76ers' game against the Phoenix Suns near Orlando.
Embiid's ankle looked to be trapped under the stanchion in the first quarter, and he limped to the locker room. Embiid eventually returned to the bench but never returned to the game.
