Joel Embiid is dealing with swelling in his left knee, leading him to miss Friday's win over the Brooklyn Nets and he has also been ruled out for Sunday's game against the LA Clippers.

Embiid wasn't originally listed on the injury report Friday morning after he played 35 minutes and scored 35 points with 11 rebounds in a loss at the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Embiid was expected to test his knee and make a decision on his status for Friday, but he never took the court and was ruled out 30 minutes before tipoff.

The Sixers are also without Paul George, who suffered another hyperextended knee this week.
