Embiid (knee, shin) is out against NOLA.

Joel Embiid is still out for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Philadelphia 76ers / Schedule

In their initial injury report ahead of Saturday's road matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Sixers already ruled out Embiid due to his right shin soreness and right knee injury management.

This would mark Embiid's fourth consecutive absence. He missed the team's 117-107 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday and was unavailable in Philly's last two games before the All-Star break.

Adem Bona and Andre Drummond are poised to play significant roles for Philadelphia with Embiid still being sidelined.

The former NBA MVP appeared in 31 games so far this season. He is averaging 26.6 points, 7.5 boards and 3.9 assists.

The 76ers are currently sixth in the East with a 30-25 record.
