Report: 76ers' Joel Embiid Tests Positive for COVID-19, Expected to Miss Multiple Games

76ers center Joel Embiid has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols after testing positive for COVID-19 on Monday, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Embiid was planning to rest for Monday night's game against the Knicks, but was also not present at the team's shootaround.

The team's All-NBA center is the latest member of the organization to be placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols.

Veteran forward Tobias Harris entered into the health and safety protocols on Nov. 1 and second-year forward Isaiah Joe also entered the protocol last Thursday. Matisse Thybulle, whose locker is next to Joe's, was also placed in the health and safety protocols on Friday.
