The Philadelphia 76ers have lost three straight games, and they’ll look to right the ship against the Grizzlies in Memphis on Tuesday night.
But, will they have their star center available for the game?
Joel Embiid listed as 'questionable' for game vs. Grizzlies
Former NBA MVP Joel Embiid is listed as questionable on the official injury report for the contest due to right knee injury management and a right ankle sprain that held him out of Philadelphia’s 129-104 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday afternoon.

If the season ended today, both teams would be in the Play-In Tournament in their respective conferences. The Grizzlies sit ninth in the West at 15-17 while the Sixers occupy the No. 7 spot in the East with a record of 16-14.
The matchup between Philadelphia and Memphis will be the first of two on the season. The two teams will also meet again in Philadelphia in March.
