Embiid (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Rockets, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Embiid did not participate in Tuesday's practice and will miss his third game in a row Wednesday. Philadelphia's franchise center has appeared in just four games this season, and the 76ers continue to tread carefully with him while he manages a left knee injury. Embiid's next chance to play will be Saturday against Detroit, and in the meantime, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele will likely hold down the fort at center.
