Due to left foot soreness, Joel Embiid is listed as out for Friday’s game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Chicago Bulls. Embiid also missed the Sixers’ win over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Earlier this season, he was sidelined for four games with a left mid-foot sprain as well. Kyle Neubeck of Philly Voice says that Embiid’s absence is largely seen as a precautionary measure in the middle of the regular season.
Embiid (left foot, soreness) is out again tomorrow vs. Chicago.
Talked with some people last night and think it’s a situation where he’d probably play if there were real stakes, just being cautious in early January— Kyle Neubeck (@KyleNeubeck) January 5, 2023Jaden Springer, Julian Champagnie and Louis King are all on a G League assignment with the Delaware Blue Coats.
