The Philadelphia 76ers are scheduled to take on the Indiana Pacers on Sunday in what should be a fun Eastern Conference matchup. However, Philly will have to play the contest without superstar center Joel Embiid.

Reports indicate that the 32-year-old is officially ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Pacers, according to Philadelphia sports content creator RB. The decision comes after Embiid played 28 minutes in the 76ers' 123-112 win over the Toronto Raptors on Thursday.

“Joel Embiid is officially OUT tomorrow for Sixers vs. Pacers,” RB posted on X.
