Late addition to injury report Embiid is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Cavaliers due to back soreness.
Impact Embiid was a late addition to the injury report Wednesday morning, which is never a good sign. The big man has appeared in 17 straight games and has averaged 31.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks in 34.2 minutes during that stretch. If he's sidelined Wednesday, DeAndre Jordan, Paul Millsap and Paul Reed would all be candidates for increased roles, though James Harden, Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey would likely garner increased usage as well.
