Joel Embiid

It won't be easy for the Sixers to improve at the trade deadline.

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid will miss the remainder of the regular season as he and the team continue to look for a long-term solution for a troublesome left knee that has plagued his season, the team announced.

Embiid finished it over and over and over again, to the tune of going 24-for-41 from the field and 21-for-23 from the foul line.

Before his ejection, Harden was playing his best basketball of the series thus far. He finished the game with 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in 29 minutes.

Joel Embiid and James Harden are two of the betting favorites to win the Finals MVP honor.

Philadelphia Sixers head coach Doc Rivers said pregame that 'there is a lot to learn offensively' as guard James Harden is making his debut on Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Joel Embiid: "Thankfully things are resolved and we can move on and try to be a better team."

While Ben Simmons likely will not be reporting to Sixers training camp on Tuesday, will Joe Embiid be ready to go?
