Joel Embiid playing status against the Grizzlies
Given his question mark on injury reportright now, there is some doubt as to whether Embiid will be able to suit up for Tuesday night’s road game against the Grizzlies. Embiid did not play in the 76ers’ last game, a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, and last played in their recent road loss against the Chicago Bulls.
Joining Embiid on the injury report is Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford, who will both be out with injury.
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have a loaded injury report, with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Zach Edey, Brandon Clarke, Ty Jerome, John Kanchar and Vince Williams Jr. are set to miss this competition, with a host of other players listed as questionable.
The 76ers have struggled a bit lately, currently 16-14 in this game. Embiid has been in and out of the lineup all year as the team tries to deal with his knee injury, though Paul George has been able to play most games in recent weeks. Tirese Makey continued what appears to be a key All-NBA campaign this year, and rookie VJ Edgecombe has come back to life after slowing down a bit after his hot start.
Either way, the 76ers and Grizzlies are scheduled to tip off Tuesday night at 8:00 PM ET from Memphis.
