He could use more muscle, but his frame should have no trouble bearing the additional bulk … Posted outstanding per-40-minutes numbers in his lone season at Kansas, averaging 19.4 points, 14 rebounds, and 4.5 blocks … An agile and mobile center, with nimble feet, good speed, great quickness, and vertical explosiveness … Excellent around the rim, scoring regularly on put-backs and alley opps.

Strengths: The sculpted Embiid has a prototypical body for an NBA center, standing 7 feet tall, with a 7.5-foot reach, and weighing 250 pounds. The views on this page do not necessarily represent the views of the NBA or its clubs.NBA Comparison: Tim Duncan/Akeem Olajuwon The 76ers will have one day to get things situated before hosting the Wizards for a potential series-clinching Game 5 in Philadelphia on Thursday (AEST). If Embiid isn't available for Game 5, will Rivers start Simmons at centre? Will he give in and see what a Simmons-Howard frontcourt looks like to prevent Westbrook and bigs like Daniel Gafford from dominating the glass again? Presumably, because of those reasons, we've only seen the two players share the court for a total of 4.3 minutes in this series, according to NBA stats. According to Basketball-Reference, of Simmons' most common two-man lineups this season, his 367 minutes playing alongside Howard marks his worst net rating (-8.7) with any teammate. Where things get difficult moving forward is that Rivers has been hesitant to play Simmons and Howard at the same time this season, since the combination doesn't present much of a scoring threat at all. Is going small without Joel Embiid the answer? With the game on the line in the fourth quarter and overtime, Rivers elected to slide All-Star guard Ben Simmons to centre, a look we've seen from the Embiid-less Sixers several times this season. Howard finished with just one point and four rebounds in 15 minutes while Scott had zero points, going 0-for-4 from the field, 0-for-3 from 3-point range and just two rebounds in 18 minutes. Wizards star Russell Westbrook had a field day on the glass with 21 rebounds, and Howard and Scott failed to present much of an impact elsewhere. Rivers went to veteran centre Dwight Howard and reserve forward Mike Scott to fill Embiid's minutes for the remainder of Game 4, but that tandem didn't handle much business.

That just further clarifies that the Sixers have struggled mightily all season to produce offence without its go-to scorer Joel Embiid's on/off stats in 2020-21 regular season

If the top-seeded team in the East is forced to try and close out this series – and potentially beyond – without their superstar centre, what might that look like? How the 76ers have fared without Joel Embiid His 76ers went 10-11 in those contests compared to 39-12 in the 51 games he suited up for. He was forced to miss nearly a month of action back in March with a bone bruise on his left knee and he had an awkward fall back in February that hyper-extended his right knee, although he avoided missing any time for that particular ailment.Įmbiid missed a total of 21 games this season between knee and back injuries. It makes sense that Philadelphia would take a precautious approach with the 7-footer's knees.

Team says "the injury will be managed with a physical therapy and treatment program." Managing potential swelling and pain on the knee will play a significant part in how soon Embiid returns to the floor.
