Joel Embiid sustained a right knee sprain in the Philadelphia 76ers’ Game 3 win over the Brooklyn Nets and will miss Game 4 on Saturday.
Embiid returned to Philadelphia on Friday to undergo an MRI on the knee. Embiid could return as early as next week, possibly for Game 5.
Embiid injured the knee contesting a third-quarter drive by the Nets’ Cam Johnson on Thursday.
Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out by the Los Angeles Clippers for Saturday’s Game 4 against the Phoenix Suns with a right knee sprain.
Leonard also missed Game 3 in an unexpected move. Leonard aggravated his right knee sprain in Game 1 but played through it in Game 2. Leonard was not on the injury report for Game 2 or ahead of Game 3 before he was ruled out.
Leonard’s injury is considered day-to-day by the team.
With Game 5 scheduled for Tuesday, Leonard would have a week of recovery before seeing if he can play when the series returns to Phoenix.
Ja Morant is questionable for Game 3 on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Morant, who missed Game 2 due to a sore right hand, was able to complete a full practice on Friday.
Taylor Jenkins said that Morant is doing “so much better than he was two days ago” but is still having some issues with the hand.
“It’s just catching the ball he’s having to navigate,” added Jenkins.
The Grizzlies will make a decision on Morant’s availability following Saturday’s shootaround.
