Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid doubtful for Game 5 against Wizards due to knee injury

The Philadelphia 76ers announced on Tuesday that Joel Embiid is doubtful for Wednesday’s Game 5 against the Wizards. Embiid took a spill after going up for a layup early in Game 4 on Monday and did not return to the game due to right knee soreness. He had an MRI on the knee and will undergo further evaluation.

Embiid logged eight points and six rebounds in 11 minutes on the court Monday, but after leaving the game Washington was able to take the win 122-114.

Game 5 will take place at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
