Joel Embiid

C, Philadelphia Sixers

Joel Embiid (left shoulder sprain) will not play on Thursday.

This was expected, and Embiid is also slated for an MRI today. The absence of Philadelphia's two young stars blows things wide open for the other Sixers, and Al Horford might've been thrown a lifeline over the last couple of weeks. Norvel Pelle is on the radar for blocks while Kyle O'Quinn might be worth adding to watch lists in deep leagues. Pretty much everyone on the roster will get more shots up with Embiid out, too.
