Joel Embiid Out At Least Three Games With Right Oblique Strain

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is going back on the shelf. Fortunately, it's not another knee issue for Embiid. Unfortunately, the Sixers star has a strained right oblique and will miss at least the team's next three games.

Embiid was injured during Thursday's victory over the Miami Heat. Despite looking visible uncomfortable, Embiid stayed in the game and made a big shot to help the 76ers clinch the victory.

The All-Star center has played in just 33 games this season. He's missed time with a series of knee issues throughout the season. The Sixers have been trying to manage Embiid's health, as they hope to have him available for this season's playoffs.
