Joel Embiid is out for Game 2 of the 76ers' series against the Knicks with
ankle and hip injuries
NEW YORK (AP) --- Joel Embiid will miss Game 2 of the Philadelphia 76ers '
second-round series against the New York Knicks on Wednesday night with a
sprained right ankle and a sore right hip.
The 76ers added their center to the injury report hours before trying to even
the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Embiid struggled through a short night in the Knicks' 137-98 romp in Game 1,
scoring 14 points on 3-for-11 shooting in 25 minutes before the starters were
benched with the game out of reach.
Embiid had been listed as probable to play in that game and the Knicks
repeatedly took advantage of his lack of mobility to create open shots.
Embiid returned from a late-season appendectomy during Game 4 of Philadelphia's
first-round series against Boston and helped the 76ers overcome a 3-1 deficit
to win the series.
