Embiid (Illness) Ruled Out for Friday's Game vs. Knicks

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid (illness) participated in Friday's morning shootaround but was subsequently ruled out for the evening's game against the Knicks. Despite his presence at shootaround, he couldn't shake the questionable tag. It's speculated the 76ers may be saving him for Saturday's game against Dallas, as he's cleared for only one game of back-to-back sets. Andre Drummond is anticipated to take on a considerable workload at center in Embiid's absence.
