Joel Embiid, who was thrown on the injury report on Friday morning due to left knee injury management, is now out for the contest. He did not come out at all for warm ups which was the tell-tale sign that the big fella was not going to be able to give it a go.

Embiid missed the entire preseason and first six games of this regular season with left knee injury management before serving a three-game league suspension. He made his season debut against the New York Knicks on Nov. 12 only to miss the following night’s game due to managing the knee.

The Philadelphia 76ers announced that star center Joel Embiid will miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers as he continues to manage swelling in his left knee. Embiid was also ruled out for the Sixers' Friday night game against the Nets,
