Joel Embiid suffers knee injury in final minutes of 76ers loss to Warriors, will miss Jazz game Thursday

New York Times  

Defending NBA MVP Joel Embiid injured his left knee in the final minutes of the Philadelphia 76ers’ loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night at Chase Center. Embiid will miss Thursday’s game against the Utah Jazz and receive further evaluation over the next 24 hours, the team said. After going through his regular pregame warmup, Nurse said the team’s medical staff “just didn’t like what they saw” and decided it was safer to have Embiid sit for the much-anticipated matchup against Nikola Jokić. After Tuesday night’s game, Nurse said the training staff felt comfortable clearing Embiid to play against the Warriors and that the center had felt good throughout the contest.
