Philadelphia has listed Embiid as doubtful due to a right oblique strain and while he is expected to miss Thursday’s matchup, it appears as though the star big man may be nearing a return after being sidelined since March 1.
With Embiid likely to remain sidelined on Thursday, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona could both continue to have larger roles until the star center is cleared to return.
