Sixers Label Embiid Day-to-Day After Right Knee Imaging as George Reaches Final Rehab Stage

Philadelphia beat Boston 102-100 without Embiid, with Dominick Barlow and Johni Broome still sidelined.

Overview

  • Postgame, the team said imaging showed no structural damage in Joel Embiid’s right knee and listed him day-to-day.
  • Embiid reported soreness at morning shootaround, missed the Celtics game, and has played six of ten games on a minutes restriction.
  • Paul George entered the final phase of his left-knee return plan centered on quadriceps strengthening and on-court work, with a re-evaluation later this week.
  • The Sixers edged the Celtics 102-100 to improve to 7-4 as Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe and supporting pieces shouldered the offense in Embiid’s absence.
  • Dominick Barlow (elbow) and Johni Broome (ankle) remained out for Philadelphia, and Boston was again without Jayson Tatum as he rehabs a torn right Achilles.
