Joel Embiid

C, Philadelphia Sixers

Joel Embiid is officially questionable to play in Friday's season finale against the Rockets as he nurses a sore left ankle.

The Sixers got hit by the injury bug at the wrong time and will need Embiid available for the postseason as they are already without Ben Simmons (knee). If Embiid does play, do not expect him to play his full complement of minutes. Perhaps he only plays in the first half of the contest if he gets ruled in. Novel Pelle blocked three shots in his last outing and could see the most minutes he has seen all season in a game that doesn't affect the standings.
