PHILADELPHIA - The 76ers will be without Joel Embiid as they look to extend their six-game win streak Monday night as he has reportedly become the fourth player to enter the leagues health and safety protocols.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that Embiid was scheduled to sit out Monday’s game for a planned rest day, but has since entered the health and safety protocol.
Charania reports that Embiid could miss several games while in protocols, as he could be away from the team for up to 10 days.
He can return sooner if he tests negative twice in a span of 24 hours. Embiid is now the fourth 76ers to enter the league's protocols, as Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle, and Isaiah Joe have all missed games for the same reason.
