The Philadelphia 76ers will be without star center Joel Embiid for Sunday’s regular season finale against the Detroit Pistons. Embiid will officially miss the game due to right knee soreness.
This comes after the Milwaukee Bucks rested star Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was chasing Embiid for the scoring title, for their final game of the regular season. With Antetokounmpo out, Embiid clinched the honor with an average of 30.6 points per game.
Philadelphia still has a chance to claim the 3-seed in the Eastern Conference. They can do so with a victory over the Pistons and a Celtics loss to the Grizzlies on Sunday. The two decisive games will be played at the same time.
