Another day, another medical update from the Philadelphia 76ers. Joel Embiid talked to reporters for the first time in nearly a month, and he announced that he will not play Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Paul George has also been ruled out for Saturday by the team.
The Sixers added that both players were able to participate in full at practice, including 5-on-5 scrimmaging.
Embiid said that he does not want to put a date on his return, as the situation is fluid and based on how he responds every day, but does think “it should be soon”.
