4 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) has been deemed questionable to play in Sunday's contest versus Indiana as he continues to work through back tightness. Embiid had a scary landing on his back Wednesday, but responded with a 37-point showing in 27 minutes Friday. An absence from Embiid would give Dwight Howard added DFS appeal. Despite a potential matchup with the league's leading shot blocker in Myles Turner, Embiid has been on an MVP-like run over his last five games, averaging 35.6 PPG, shooting 16.8 free throws on a nightly basis. Check back prior to tip-off to get the final word on Embiid, as his status could likely determine many head-to-head season-long matchups for the current week.--Jesse Borek
