4 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) has been removed from the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest versus Charlotte. Embiid was unable to play Sunday as he continues to work through back tightness. When healthy, Embiid has delivered MVP-level production, having averaged 35.6 points and 10.4 rebounds over his last five contests. With Embiid back in the mix, Dwight Howard's fantasy intrigue should take a dip, even as he comes off a double-double Sunday. Season-long managers will want to make sure to continue monitoring Embiid on a nightly basis due to his persistent back issues.--Jesse Borek
