Joel Embiid ruled out vs. Wizards due to illness
Unfortunately for the Sixers, they won’t have the services of star center Joel Embiid for the contest. Embiid has been officially ruled out of the game in Washington due to an illness.
Embiid mentioned being sick following Philadelphia's 119-109 loss to the Miami Heat on Monday night.
"Well, first, I wish I wasn't sick," Embiid said after the game. "So, maybe that would have helped to play better. So, physically, I just was not in it, and then secondly, obviously, if the first part was better, then I guess I would have had more energy to do all the things. So yeah, just gotta take off myself and get out of it and play better."
