The Philadelphia 76ers have been dealt a major blow as star center Joel Embiid has been ruled out of their upcoming game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to hip soreness.
Embiid, who is averaging 23.4 points and 11.8 rebounds per game this season, has been a major contributor to the 76ers’ success this year. He has been a key part of their defense, and his presence in the paint has been a major factor in their success.
The news of Embiid’s absence is a major setback for the 76ers, who are currently sitting in third place in the Eastern Conference standings. Without Embiid, the 76ers will be missing a major part of their offense and defense.
The 76ers have not yet announced who will replace Embiid in the starting lineup, but it is likely that either Al Horford or Tobias Harris will take his place. Both players have been playing well this season and should be able to fill the void left by Embiid’s absence.
It is unclear how long Embiid will be out for, but it is likely that he will miss at least one more game. The 76ers will be hoping that Embiid’s hip soreness is not serious and that he will be able to return to the court soon.
In the meantime, the 76ers will have to make do without their star center. It will be a difficult task for them to win without Embiid, but they have the talent and depth to make up for his absence.
