Joel Embiid still in pain, unlikely to play in first two games against Boston?
Jason Dumas: Source: Joel Embiid is experiencing a lot of pain in that right knee. His LCL sprain is typically a 4-6 week recovery. I’m told it would be a pleasant surprise if he were able to play in either of the first two games in Boston.

Joel Embiid is expected to be doubtful for Monday’s Game 1, according to Doc Rivers. So what does this mean for the Celtics?

It is, unfortunately, looking like sad season for the Philadelphia 76ers again.

I’m not saying Doc Rivers is lying or exaggerating about Joel Embiid, but I will say that I won’t truly believe Embiid is out until I see it on the injury report. – 1:28 PM

So, Canada gets France in Group H. Probably the toughest of the possible options. On the bright side Gobert has said he’s not committed to playing this summer, but Wembanyama might, and Joel Embiid is a possibility too. – 8:39 AM

The Philadelphia 76ers star and an MVP candidate likely won’t be able to help France, as is expected for him to get married. “Joel hasn’t made a decision, but it seems difficult for him to be able to play this summer. But that does not call into question the fact that he can play with us next year. He is going to get married this summer, and it really falls into the wrong period, during the preparation of all the teams,” Collet revealed, as L’Equipe reports. Embiid can still join the French national team for the 2024 Olympic tournament in Paris. “From the moment he will not play this summer, he has more time to decide. Taking the steps with FIBA also takes time,” Collet concluded. -via EuroHoops.net / April 29, 2023
Keith Pompey: #Sixers’ Shake Milton on Joel Embiid: “I know whenever Game 1 comes around and he’s available, I know he’s gonna dominate like he always does. With Jo, it’s nothing you really have to worry about. He’s getting his work in and he’s going to be prepared.” -via Twitter @PompeyOnSixers / April 27, 2023
