Sixers Injury Update: Joel Embiid misses practice

Share

CAMDEN, N.J. — Unfortunately, we didn’t hear more from Joel Embiid Sunday about his recent frustrations.

In fact, Embiid wasn’t even in the building. The All-Star center was at home nursing a migraine, according to the team.

Brett Brown said that he “thinks [Embiid] is going to be questionable” for Monday night’s game vs. the Pistons, though the team said that is not official and his status will be updated Monday.

Embiid has been fairly outspoken about his role in the Sixers’ offense and his comments this week went viral locally and nationally. Sunday would’ve been a good opportunity for Embiid to clarify his remarks.

While Embiid said that he feels good and didn’t want to rest, Brown said that Embiid admitted to being fatigued after the Sixers' loss to the Raptors.

“For me, [the rest] was more driven out of looking at him, but more importantly talking with him, “ Brown said. “He felt tired. There was no mystery on that. We’re doing as much listening as we can, too. This decision was born out of that reason.”

Rookie guard Landry Shamet is also listed as questionable for Monday after missing practice with lower back pain. That would be a big blow to an already thin bench.
