Joel Embiid sits out 4th quarter as Sixers lose to Nets, team considering 'alternative options' on injured knee

The Philadelphia 76ers lost 105-103 to the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night at the last second when Nic Claxton beat Paul George for an offensive rebound off Keon Johnson's missed 3-pointer and tipped in the game-winning basket.

George was out-hustled for the rebound, failing to jump or even raise his arms in pursuit of the ball. The lack of effort cost the Sixers a potential win and dropped their record to 20-26, the fourth-worst in the Eastern Conference.

However, as embarrassing as George's half-hearted effort was, fans and media watching Claxton's game-winner might have wondered where Joel Embiid was on the play.
