Joel Embiid has tear in knee, will miss 76ers’ Game 5

Not the best news for the 76ers’ best player.

Philadelphia center Joel Embiid has a slight tear in his meniscus and will be out for the Sixers’ Game 5 matchup against the Wizards Wednesday night, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The star big man went up for a layup just minutes into Game 4 and took a nasty fall onto the floor, remaining down for several moments. He would leave the game and not return.
