Dominick Barlow Returns for 76ers, Expected Increased Role with Embiid Out

Philadelphia 76ers center Dominick Barlow (illness) will play Wednesday versus the Knicks, returning from a one-game absence. With Joel Embiid (knee) skipping Wednesday's game, Barlow is expected to see increased opportunities in terms of shots and minutes. This season, Barlow is averaging 8.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game, and his return will be timely for the shorthanded 76ers.
