Joel Embiid will remain sidelined for the Philadelphia 76ers as they finish up a brief road trip with a matchup against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. According to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the superstar big man will be listed as out with left knee injury management and personal reasons.
Embiid has now been ruled out of 15 games to start the season for the 76ers. The team has made it clear that it doesn’t intend to play Embiid in both games in a back-to-back and its next game after facing Charlotte is on Wednesday, so it's possible that Embiid was already bound to not play in this game and instead face the much better Orlando Magic back at home.
