Sixers Without Embiid in Crucial Game 2 vs. Celtics
21 Apr
Summary
- Joel Embiid officially ruled out for Game 2 due to appendectomy recovery.
- Embiid's return timeline is currently unknown.
- The Sixers have everyone else available for Game 2.
The Philadelphia 76ers are facing a tough road in their first-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics, particularly after a significant loss in Game 1. They will be without their star center, Joel Embiid, for Game 2, which is scheduled for Tuesday night.
Embiid has been officially sidelined due to his recovery from an appendectomy. While he has begun the process of returning, there is no clear timeline for his availability, with his participation in Game 3 on Friday also appearing unlikely. The team is hopeful for his return soon as they strive to even the series before heading back to Philadelphia.
Despite Embiid's absence, the 76ers will have their complete roster available for Game 2, with no other players listed on the injury report. This critical contest presents an opportunity for the team to avoid falling into an 0-2 hole against their rivals.
