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.

Joel Embiid will play in a mere four of the Sixers’ first 16 games. A Sixers official said Friday night during the Sixers’ game vs. the Nets that Embiid, in addition to sitting against Brooklyn, will also be out Sunday against the Clippers.

Embiid said reports of the meeting, during which his tardiness was questioned by Tyrese Maxey, were overblown.
