The Philadelphia 76ers will be looking to sweep the Brooklyn Nets in Game 4 on Saturday, but they will be doing so without arguably their best player, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
ESPN Sources with @Ramonashelburne: An MRI revealed Sixers star Joel Embiid suffered a sprained right knee and will miss Game 4 vs. Brooklyn on Saturday. There’s optimism he could be ready to return as soon as early next week.
This season, Embiid led the league in scoring with 33.1 points per game while grabbing 10.2 rebounds.
Embiid sprained his knee in the 76ers’ win Thursday night against the Nets where the team took a commanding 3-0 lead.
