The Philadelphia 76ers will be without their star center when they look to even the second round playoff series against the New York Knicks.
Joel Embiid was ruled out for tonight’s Game 2 with hip and ankle injuries. His absence comes on the heels of scoring 14 points on 3-of-11 shooting from the floor in Monday’s Game 1.
The Knicks recorded a 137-98 statement victory against the 76ers in Game 1 thanks, in part, to 35 points from Jalen Brunson and solid performances from OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges.
