AFP reported that the 76ers stated in a brief announcement, "If there is further information, it will be announced in due course."

Before today's game, the 76ers ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, just one game behind the sixth-place Atlanta Hawks. Therefore, they still have a chance to improve their ranking and avoid the play-in tournament.

After today's game, the 76ers have only two regular-season games left, an away game against the Indiana Pacers and a home game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Born in Cameroon, Embiid was selected as the 2023 NBA Most Valuable Player. He has played 38 games this season, averaging 26.9 points and 7.7 rebounds.

The 32-year-old Embiid has gradually regained his peak form this season, but due to long-term injuries and a new injury, he has still missed many games. (Translated by: Xu Ruicheng) 1150410
