76ers' Joel Embiid: Won't play Friday

Embiid (illness) will not play Friday against the Knicks.

Despite going through shootaround, Embiid was unable to shake off his questionable tag. It's possible the 76ers are saving him for Saturday's game against Dallas, as Embiid is cleared for only one game of back-to-back sets anyway. Look for Andre Drummond to see the bulk of the center minutes Friday.
