Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse was hopeful Justin Edwards could return to the team’s lineup for their Monday night matchup against the Chicago Bulls. Unfortunately, that won’t be the case. According to the official NBA injury report,

Joel Embiid has been ruled out for the Philadelphia 76ers' game against the Chicago Bulls on Monday night after undergoing imaging on his knee, but his season is not necessarily over. Head coach Nick Nurse told reporters that,

The season can't end quickly enough for the Philadelphia 76ers. An injury-riddled year may have hit a new low Monday in a blowout loss at home to the Chicago Bulls, 142-110. The Sixers trailed by as many as 50 points in the game.

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers are running out of time to turn things around this season. But the Sixers are not planning to pull the plug just yet.

Amid speculation that Joel Embiid will be shut down for the season due to persistent knee issues, Sixers head coach Nick Nurse said no decision had been made on Embiid’s status beyond Monday’s game against Chicago.

The 76ers perennial All-Star Joel Embiid took a benching on Saturday. Now his Monday status against the Bulls took a troubling turn.

Embiid had a tough time moving around Saturday in a loss to the Brooklyn Nets. He and the team are considering alternative options, including another surgery, for his knee.
