Joel Embiid progressing in rehab and will be reevaluated Monday, Sixers say
The Sixers are 2-2 since the center suffered a shoulder injury against Cleveland.
Joel Embiid continues to make progress in returning from a left-shoulder sprain. He remains out and will be reassessed Monday, the 76ers said Friday.
The Inquirer earlier reported that Embiid is expected back when the Sixers return home and play the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center.
Embiid suffered the injury Feb. 26 during a 108-94 loss at Cleveland while being fouled by Cavaliers center Ante Zizic late in the first quarter. Embiid has missed four games with the injury and will obviously be out for Saturday’s game at Golden State, which will end the Sixers’ four-game West Coast trip.
The Sixers are 2-2 in the games he has missed with the shoulder injury.
Embiid is receiving daily treatment, including participating in a strength and conditioning program, and he has resumed on-court basketball activities.
