Sixers center Joel Embiid sidelined for game against Pelicans due to left foot sprain

Joel Embiid, the All-Star center for the Philadelphia 76ers, missed his third consecutive game due to a sprained left foot, marking his 23rd absence this season. Coach Nick Nurse indicated that although Embiid's injury is bothersome, it is not deemed a long-term issue. With the team scheduled to face Orlando next, Nurse remains hopeful for Embiid's return soon.

This season, Embiid has participated in only 13 games, and the Sixers' performance has suffered with an 8-14 record in his absence. He is currently averaging 24.4 points and 7.9 rebounds, which is below his career norms. The injury woes extend beyond Embiid, as the team also missed Andre Drummond, Kyle Lowry, and KJ Martin during the recent games.
