Daily News | Doc Rivers unsure how much time Joel Embiid will miss with knee sprain
NEW YORK — Joel Embiid’s right knee was sore — and already swelling — following the 76ers’ Game 3 win over the Brooklyn Nets Thursday night, coach Doc Rivers said.
Paul Reed will start at center Saturday afternoon, with Montrezl Harrell and Dewayne Dedmon serving as backup options. P.J. Tucker could also play small-ball center. The Sixers went 11-5 without Embiid during the regular season, when he battled foot soreness and calf tightness at times. ”This is another obstacle in the story that we’re going to write this year,” Rivers said he told Embiid. “You’re going to be OK. It may take a minute, but this is just part of it.”Sixers reserve Danuel House remains out for Saturday’s Game 4 with a non-COVID illness.
