The Philadelphia 76ers downgraded Joel Embiid’s status ahead of their Wednesday night matchup against the Miami Heat. He’s questionable with left foot soreness.
Over the past few weeks, Embiid has been a frequently listed player on the injury report. His status hasn’t affected his availability much at all — he hasn’t missed a game since Jan. 8. Factor in a back-to-back, and there’s an argument that he’s due for a rest night. The Sixers will fly out to Dallas tomorrow to face the Mavericks. Between now and the end of the season, the Sixers have five remaining back-to-backs.
