Latest Updates on 76ers Injury Situation
The Philadelphia 76ers are closely monitoring the injury status of star center Joel Embiid ahead of their pivotal matchup against the Miami Heat. According to the latest injury report, Embiid has been listed as day-to-day with a lateral meniscus injury.
Embiid, who has been averaging an NBA-leading 35.3 points per game this season, suffered the injury in the Sixers' game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. A Sixers official confirmed that Embiid underwent an MRI on Thursday, which revealed the extent of the injury.
The good news for the Sixers is that Embiid is not currently expected to miss Game 2 against the New York Knicks on Friday. However, his status remains uncertain, and he will be evaluated on a day-by-day basis.
In Embiid's absence, the Sixers would likely turn to the likes of Tyrese Maxey and James Harden to lead their offense. Maxey has stepped up in big moments this season, while Harden is a veteran All-Star with plenty of playoff experience.
