After dropping Game 3 at home to the Boston Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers will look to bounce back in Game 4 on Sunday night.

With a win, the Sixers would tie the series up at two games apiece, but with a loss they would fall behind 3-1, which is a tough place to be.

The status of star center Joel Embiid continues to be a major story in the series between Philadelphia and Boston.

Embiid has missed the first three games of the series as he continues to recover from an emergency appendectomy, and his status for Game 4 is up in the air.

Embiid is currently listed as "doubtful" on the official injury report for the critical contest. His final status will be determined prior to tipoff.
