Joel Embiid to Miss Time With Oblique Strain
Joel Embiid will miss at least three games after the Philadelphia 76ers confirmed he suffered a strained right oblique. The team announced the setback Saturday following an MRI that revealed the extent of the injury.
Embiid sustained the strain during Thursday’s 124-117 win over the Miami Heat, yet still posted 26 points and 11 rebounds. His ability to finish the game underscored his recent form despite the discomfort.
The All-Star center will begin his absence with a key road matchup in Boston before undergoing further evaluation later in the week. Team officials are taking a cautious approach as the 76ers navigate a tightly packed schedule.
Embiid has been dominant throughout February, leading the Eastern Conference in scoring at 29 points per game. His temporary absence presents a significant challenge for Philadelphia’s playoff push.
