Share

CAMDEN, N.J. -- Joel Embiid will play tonight (7:00/CSN and CSNPhilly.com) against the Grizzlies, which would make it four straight games for the rookie big man. He is under a 24-minute restriction.

Embiid is averaging 19.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in his last three games dating back to last Thursday's loss to the Timberwolves.

Gerald Henderson and Richaun Holmes missed this morning's shootaround because of illness. Both are doubtful for the game.

Jerryd Bayless, who made his season debut on Monday after recovering from a left wrist injury, is not under a minute restriction.

The Sixers (4-10) have won two games in a row and their last four games at home. The Grizzlies (9-5) come to town on a five-game winning streak.
