Ruled out for Saturday
Embiid (knee/shin) won't play Saturday in New Orleans.
Analysis
Embiid is set to miss his fourth consecutive game, and for now, he should be considered highly questionable for Sunday's game in Minnesota. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will continue to split the five-man minutes in Embiid's absence.

Dealing with shin injury
Embiid has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to right shin soreness and right knee injury management, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Embiid was held out of the 76ers' final two games before the All-Star break due to right knee injury management. However, a shin issue cropped up over the break, so Embiid will be held out of Thursday's contest with the hopes that he'll be available to return against the Pelicans on Saturday. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will continue to cover most of the minutes at center in Embiid's absence.
