LeBron James Ruled Out for 76ers Game Against Toronto with Low Back Management
Both players are under injury management for back and foot conditions, potentially leaving the team shorthanded after falling to a 9-3 record this season, officials said.
- The Sixers host the Toronto Raptors on Thursday with stars LeBron James and Joel Embiid listed as questionable on the NBA injury report under management designations.
- James manages a low back/sciatica issue while Embiid deals with right foot plantar fascia management, following Philadelphia's 123-101 loss to the Boston Celtics one day prior.
- Embiid, who finished with 16 points in nearly 31 minutes against Boston, said he has "no idea" if he will play, adding "We'll see what they have to say and then we'll go from there."
- Philadelphia also ruled out Dominick Barlow, Adem Bona, and Ariel Hukporti for Thursday, leaving the frontcourt depleted; the Sixers are 1-1 in the two games Embiid has missed this season.
- The Raptors will play without Kawhi Leonard and Scottie Barnes, while James, who turns 42 next month, will have four to five days off before his next game.
