With Embiid sidelined, Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will likely continue to have increased roles until the star center is cleared to return while the 76ers will likely rely on Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and V.J. Edgecombe to carry the load offensively.

While Embiid does remain sidelined for Game 2, it was reported that he began a strength and conditioning program on Monday, though it still remains unclear whether the star big man will be able to play in the first round of the playoffs.
