Joel Embiid On Track To Return For Wednesday’s Game
4 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is not listed on the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest versus the Lakers, a strong indication that he'll be back in action following a one-game absence due to back tightness. As a corresponding move, Dwight Howard would figure to rejoin the second unit and see a decreased role. Embiid has been virtually unguardable as of late, having scored at least 33 points in four of his last five games, shooting 61.2 percent from the field in that span. He'll face a stingy Lakers defense, which when combined with his ailing back, could keep some DFS managers away from the high-priced star even amidst his scoring deluge.
