Embiid, Griffin out for 76ers-Pistons matchup
Posted April 04, 2018 7:00 am
DETROIT (AP) - Philadelphia center Joel Embiid is out for a fourth straight game with a concussion and orbital fracture.
Embiid is missing Wednesday night's matchup with the Detroit Pistons, who are without star forward Blake Griffin.
Griffin is missing his fourth game in a row because of a bruised right ankle.
Embiid had surgery Saturday to repair the broken bone around his left eye. He was injured when guard Markelle Fultz accidentally head-butted him last week against the New York Knicks.
The 76ers are also without forward Dario Saric, who is out with a right elbow issue.
