Joel Embiid ruled out for Sixers-Kings on Thursday

Embiid, who has not played in the month of March after suffering the injury on Feb. 28, will miss his 10th consecutive game. Sixers head coach Nick Nurse expressed hope before the Sixers’ three-game Western Conference road trip that Embiid could suit up before the swing comes to an end. Embiid was initially listed as doubtful for Thursday’s game, the first time this month he had been listed as anything other than out. But on Thursday afternoon the Sixers ruled him out.

Embiid’s next opportunity to play will come on Saturday night when the Sixers face the Utah Jazz.
