The Philadelphia 76ers have announced that Joel Embiid will miss two games due to swelling in his left knee, starting with the matchup against the Brooklyn Nets and continuing with the LA Clippers. Initially not on the injury report, Embiid's condition changed after he played a significant game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Coach Nick Nurse had hoped Embiid would warm up before the game, but he was ruled out shortly before tipoff. Additionally, Paul George will also be sidelined due to a bone bruise in his left knee, leaving the 76ers struggling with injuries.

Philadelphia, currently holding the worst record in the NBA, has seen limited time with their star players on the court together, raising concerns about their performance expectations this season.
