Absent from shootaround Embiid (illness) didn't participate in the 76ers' morning shootaround and remains questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer repo...

While the big man wouldn't necessarily need to participate in shootaround in order to play against Washington, his absence isn't encouraging in terms of his availability.

Impact Embiid landed on the injury report Sunday due to the illness. The severity of the aliment remains unclear, but he'll have over 24 hours to clear the issue before Monday's matchup. If the superstar big man is sidelined, Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell would be candidates for increased minutes, but James Harden and Tyrese Maxey would handle the majority of the playmaking opportunities.
