Joel Embiid will miss the Philadelphia 76ers' upcoming game against the Phoenix Suns due to a left foot sprain. 76ers head coach Nick Nurse addressed the media, stating that while the injury has been a concern, it is not serious and is considered day-to-day. Embiid has had a challenging season, missing 21 games due to various injuries, including knee issues and a suspension.

With a current record of 14-19, Philadelphia is struggling, standing 10.5 games behind the Atlantic Division leaders, the Boston Celtics. The team has performed poorly without Embiid, holding a 7-13 record in his absence. The Sixers are also set to be without Kyle Lowry due to hip soreness, adding to their injury woes.
