Joel Embiid will miss the next two games against the Clippers and Bucks, but is expected to return against Houston on Friday. (Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
After missing two seasons with foot injuries, the young center has instantly become one of the most dominant bigs in the league. The team is being extra cautious with him, so it's no surprise that he'll be held out a couple of games. It's not likely that the team will be quick to changing his minutes and back-to-back game restrictions especially after this scare. Jahlil Okafor should get the start with Embiid out.
