Questionable to play Sunday Embiid is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors due to left knee injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact The 76ers and Raptors play in back-to-back games in Toronto Sunday and Monday. Embiid will likely sit out of one of those games while managing a left knee injury, in which case Andre Drummond would be the top candidate to enter the 76ers' starting five. Embiid has played in each of the 76ers' last six games, and over that span he has averaged 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.2 blocks over 33.7 minutes per game.

Impact The 76ers are considering giving Embiid a maintenance day for left knee injury management, though the star big man is also dealing with right ankle soreness. If he needs to sit out Wednesday, Andre Drummond would make sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option while Adem Bona handles backup center duties.
