The Philadelphia 76ers look to finish a four-game road trip on Monday against the Washington Wizards and win a third consecutive game. They look like they have been getting back on track following the 1-4 start.
As they prepare for the Wizards and their matchup with Kristaps Porzingis and Bradley Beal, they might be without their superstar big fella.
Joel Embiid is listed as questionable on the injury report due to a non-COVID illness. This comes after he scored 25 points and had the go-ahead 3 in Saturday’s win over the Chicago Bulls. He also missed a game on Friday due to right knee injury management.

It will be tough for the Sixers to get it done against the Wizards if Embiid can’t go. However, in the one game without the big man, Philadelphia leaned on Tyrese Maxey and he delivered in a huge way so they can lean on that success.
