Update, 7:08 p.m.: Despite being downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day, Joel Embiid will play when the Sixers take on the Miami Heat Monday night.
As we’ve learned over the years, the injury report is more of a suggestion for Embiid. Rookie Jared McCain remains in the starting lineup and Kelly Oubre, Jr. will continue to come off the bench.
For the Heat, Jimmy Butler will make his return from a four-game absence with a sprained ankle while guard Terry Rozier is out with a foot issue.
Update: 11:21 a.
