Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was downgraded to doubtful for Monday night's game at Miami due to illness. The former league MVP has only played two games this season for the struggling Sixers (2-10).

Joel Embiid (illness) is listed as doubtful for tonight’s game vs. Heat in Miami. - 11:16 AM When Mo Bamba was asked about an injury management plan and whether he will be held out of back-to-backs, Bamba started his response by saying "I'm not Jo" 😆 New: I dove into a host of numbers that help define and explain the Sixers’ awful 2-10 start to the season.
