Joel Embiid to Miss 76ers Game Against Kings Due to Foot Injury

The 76ers star center is sidelined with a sprained left foot as Philadelphia faces Sacramento in the first of back-to-back road games.

  • Joel Embiid, the 76ers' 2022 MVP, is ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings with a sprained left foot.
  • Philadelphia initially listed Embiid as resting before updating his status to reflect the injury, which follows a series of recent health setbacks.
  • The 76ers are on a four-game winning streak, with Embiid scoring a season-high 37 points in their most recent victory over Portland.
  • Other key players, including Andre Drummond, Kyle Lowry, and Eric Gordon, are questionable, while KJ Martin and Jared McCain remain out with longer-term injuries.
  • Sacramento recently snapped a six-game losing streak and will look to capitalize on Philadelphia's depleted roster in their head-to-head matchup.
