Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the host Toronto Raptors due to left knee injury management and left groin soreness.
Embiid, 31, has been nursing left knee issues for most of the past two years after tearing his meniscus midway through the 2023-24 season.
A 2022-23 MVP and seven-time All-Star, Embiid is averaging 23.5 points and 7.1 rebounds in 19 of Philadelphia's 36 games this season.
The 76ers have won five of their last six games heading into the first of consecutive contests versus the Raptors.
The clubs, who split the first two games of the season series at Philadelphia, play again in Toronto on Monday.
