Joel Embiid is done for the season, at last shut down following the lingering effects of knee surgery. The final answer on the perpetual will-he or won’t-he play tonight question that canvassed the 76ers’ season came Friday when the Sixers said Embiid was “medically unable to play” and will focus on treatment and rehabilitation of his left knee.

Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse told reporters on Saturday prior to the team's game against the Golden State Warriors that star big man Joel Embiid did not suffer a setback before the team shut him down for the remainder of the season due to a lingering left knee injury.
