3 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (thumb) isn't listed on the league's official injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup against Toronto. The MVP candidate was recently seen wearing a soft cast on his right thumb, and he's reportedly dealing with a significant amount of pain and discomfort. He may have a torn ligament, so despite averaging 29 points this postseason, the ailment may impact his productivity, something DFS managers should consider when setting their lineup. Nonetheless, Embiid will likely have an MRI soon, although it's likely he'll do everything he can to remain on the floor throughout the remainder of the playoffs.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
