Joel Embiid out with injuries. Sixers starting lineup for Game 2 projected

[ASFN Admin]

It will be hard, but it's not impossible.

For the second round in a row, Joel Embiid will miss time for the Philadelphia 76ers. After missing three games in the first round, Embiid has been ruled out, according to ESPN, for Game 2 tonight in Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks.

Not the best news for Philly, which trails 1-0 in the best of 7 series. Tonight, they'll play without the services of Embiid, who was the main factor in helping the 76ers turn the tables after traling 3 games to 1 in the first round.
