Joel Embiid's Illness Leaves Impact on 76ers' Performance

Uncertainty looms over Embiid's participation in upcoming game against Celtics

Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers' leading scorer, missed the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to an illness.
The 76ers have lost both games this season in which Embiid was absent.
Embiid's status for the upcoming game against the Boston Celtics remains questionable.
The Celtics will be without center Kristaps Porzingis, who hasn't played since injuring his left calf on Nov. 24.
The upcoming game will be the third meeting this season between the 76ers and the Celtics.
