Resting to begin week Embiid will not play in Monday's game against the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Impact The Sixers aren't on a back-to-back, so the decision is a little surprising, but Embiid is certainly deserving of a night off given the workload he's carried over the last month-plus. The big man has played in 21 consecutive games, averaging 33.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 threes in 33.0 minutes per contest during that stretch. He'll likely be back on the floor for Wednesday's game against Washington -- one of Philly's four Week 16 matchups.
