76ers star Joel Embiid out with injury against Raptors

Star centre Joel Embiid won’t play against the Toronto Raptors due to left knee injury management and left groin soreness, the team said.

The oft-injured Embiid has appeared in just 19 games this season, averaging 23.5 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest.

He had played in a season-high six consecutive games prior to being ruled out against the Raptors.

Toronto, meanwhile, is facing some injury questions of its own with stars Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes both listed as questionable.

Forward RJ Barrett and centre Jakob Poeltl have already been ruled out.

Live coverage of 76ers-Raptors will be available on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ beginning at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT.
