Joel Embiid is set to suffer another setback before to Game 5 of the Sixers versus the Knicks.

On Tuesday, the Philadelphia 76ers find themselves in an uncomfortable position.

Heading into a crucial Game 5 scenario, the Sixers have listed their star center Joel Embiid as questionable. At this point, Embiid’s injury report status is routine.

Since returning from a two-month injury recovery period in early April, Embiid has entered every game he has played listed as questionable. Fortunately for the Sixers, he hasn’t missed any action since the postseason started.

When the Sixers hosted the Miami Heat for the NBA Play-In Tournament, Embiid was cleared for action and helped Philly punch its ticket to the first round of the playoffs.

Throughout the first four games of the series against the New York Knicks, Embiid made an appearance in every matchup and racked up heavy minutes, despite dealing with two setbacks.

In addition to his knee concerns, Embiid is also battling with Bell’s palsy, which popped up ahead of the Sixers’ first set of postseason play against Miami.

Once again, the playoff run hasn’t been easy for Embiid.
