Joel Embiid was held out Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers to rest his right knee after an off day. The Philadelphia 76ers center is averaging 26.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists this season.
Embiid has appeared in 31 games after playing 19 last year and 39 the season before. He scored 33 points in Saturday’s win at Phoenix, but Philadelphia opted for caution in Portland.
The Sixers also ruled out Quentin Grimes and Quentin Dominick due to illness. Paul George remained unavailable after a recent 25-game suspension for violating the NBA anti-drug program, and Philadelphia will host the New York Knicks on Wednesday.
