PHILADELPHIA -- At the start of the third quarter of what ultimately became a 113-98 victory for the 76ers over Brooklyn, Philadelphia announced that star center Joel Embiid is dealing with swelling in his left knee and, in addition to missing the Nets game, will sit out Sunday against the LA Clippers.
"He was dealing with some swelling in his knee today, got to the arena and was ruled out," 76ers coach Nick Nurse said after the win, one that snapped a five-game Sixers losing streak. "They're gonna treat it all weekend, so he'll be out for Sunday as well.
"Hopefully on Monday, we'll give you an update on where we're at, and hopefully he'll be in good shape."
