Just when this series looked over, everything has been turned on its head. The Washington Wizards avoided the sweep, but lost Davis Bertans in the process. Now the 76ers are dealing with their own injury issues. Joel Embiid has officially been ruled out for game five. Embiid played only 11 minutes in game four and exited in the first quarter after taking a hard fall after challenging Robin Lopez at the rim. The Philadelphia 76ers had listed him as doubtful following game four, but now we know for sure that the Wizards will be battling an Embiid-less Philly team in game five.
