Joel Embiid Out for 76ers Due to Rest
Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers will not play as he is resting. The team announced that he is out, and this decision comes after recent foot and sinus issues. His absence is due to rest rather than a specific injury.
What It Means
Embiid has been a key player for the 76ers, averaging 23.7 points per game this season. He ranks high in scoring among his position and within his games. His absence will be felt by the team.
The 76ers may rely on Andre Drummond, who averages 6.9 points per game, to fill in at center. Adem Bona is also available but plays fewer minutes with lower scoring contributions. The team faces the Sacramento Kings next on January 1st, and they will need to adjust without Embiid.
