Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid will be sitting out Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs as he continues to recover from a left knee injury. This marks the first game that Embiid will miss since his return to the court earlier this week in a victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The talented center had been sidelined for over eight weeks following a procedure on the lateral meniscus in his left knee.
The Sixers are facing the Spurs on the second night of a back-to-back, with Embiid showcasing an impressive performance on Saturday by scoring 30 points in just 23 minutes during a triumph over the Memphis Grizzlies. Since his return, Embiid has been a key contributor, averaging 27.7 points in 28.2 minutes per game across three victories for the 76ers.
