A tale of two centers: Jokic is trying to stay on top and Embiid is trying to stay on the court

Joel Embiid - Tagged as questionableEmbiid is questionable for Monday's Game 2 against the Knicks due to left knee injury recovery.
ImpactEmbiid carrying the designation of "injury recovery," as opposed to a specific aggravation, is a good sign, and returning to the second half of Saturday's contest likely puts him on track for Game 2. That being said, Philadelphia has been unreliable reporting injuries of late, so Embiid's status will need to be monitored. He declined to speak with media after Saturday's contest, but the big man has returned to action after suffering in-game tweaks twice in the time since his initial return from surgery, so gutting out lingering pain has been the precedent.

De'Anthony Melton - Ruled out for Game 2Melton (back) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 2 against the Knicks.
ImpactMelton hasn't been ruled out for the entire opening-round series yet, so his next chance to suit up will come Thursday when the series shifts to Philadelphia. He's appeared in only five games since Jan. 12, so even if he's cleared soon, Melton figures to have a limited role in his return.
