76ers' Joel Embiid: Will play vs. Pacers

Embiid (knee) will play in Friday's game against the Pacers.

The 76ers have cleared Embiid for action as they continue to monitor his left knee. The superstar big man will be looking to jump-start his season Friday following an uneven start to the year based on his lofty standards. For the campaign, Embiid has averaged 18.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 25.1 minutes per game over nine regular-season contests.
