Joel Embiid Is Hurt Again, Will Miss Philadelphia 76ers-Atlanta Hawks Game Due to Sore Right Shin
- The Sixers announced on Wednesday that Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers center, is OUT for Thursday's home game against the Atlanta Hawks due to right shin soreness and right knee management.
- After consulting with team doctors on Wednesday, Embiid reported right shin soreness while participating in a right knee injury-management program over the All‑Star break.
- This season, Embiid has averaged 26.6 points in 31 games but missed the final two games before the All‑Star break due to knee issues, the Sixers said.
- The team will reevaluate him before the weekend, and the Sixers said his status beyond Thursday remains unclear, so availability may change leading up to game time.
- With postseason positioning in mind, the Sixers are 19-12 when Embiid is healthy and are exercising caution after multiple surgeries, risking upward mobility.
