Joel Embiid will be sidelined for the Philadelphia 76ers' game against the Phoenix Suns due to a left foot sprain.

Joel Embiid is back to posting high-scoring performances after a slow start to the season. The 76ers center is coming off Saturday night’s showing of 28 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in just three quarters of action against the Brooklyn Nets.

Over his last five games, Embiid is averaging 30.4 points per game which is up from his season average of 24.4. The big fella has taken games over and has thrown the Sixers on his back at times in recent games.
