Out Wednesday Embiid (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Heat, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.

Impact This left foot issue has been plaguing Embiid for most of the season, so he'll be skipping the first leg of this back-to-back set. Montrezl Harrell could be headed for a spot start Wednesday, and there should be more minutes available for Paul Reed and Georges Niang. James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris should all see a spike in usage Wednesday evening. For now, Embiid should be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Dallas.

MARCH 1, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Late addition to injury report Embiid is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat due to left foot soreness.

Impact Embiid continues to deal with left foot soreness, but he's missed just one game over Philadelphia's past 21 contests. During that stretch, he's averaging 32.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals in 34.6 minutes, so if he's available, the MVP candidate shouldn't face any limitations. If he's sidelined, Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell would be candidates for increased minutes.
