It’s not official, but Sixer star Joel Embiid is iffy for tonight’s game against the Hornets at the Wells because of a turned ankle.
He rolled his left ankle during yesterday’s practice when he stepped on teammate Amir Johnson’s foot.
“He just came down on Amir’s foot and had a slight roll of the ankle. We don’t know much more than that,” said Sixers coach Brett Brown. “They told me that he will be listed as questionable tomorrow. … We’re listing it as questionable and we’re going to learn a lot more later this afternoon.”
Embiid is the Sixers’ leading scorer (29.6 points per game) and is playing the highest minutes (35.6 mpg) of his career this season. He has recorded a double-double in each of the Sixers’ game this season.
