76ers Injury Report: Embiid Questionable for Game 2

Sixers Face Injury Concerns Ahead of Crucial Playoff Game

Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid has been added to the injury report for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks. Embiid is listed as questionable with a left knee meniscus procedure.

The 76ers need all hands on deck as they trail the Knicks 1-0 in the series. Embiid is the team's leading scorer and rebounder, and his absence would be a major blow to their chances of winning Game 2.

Tyrese Maxey, who missed Game 1 with a concussion, is also questionable for Game 2. Robert Covington remains out with a left knee bone injury.

The Knicks have their own injury concerns, with DeAnthony Melton listed as questionable with a spine issue. Melton returned to the active roster for the first time in the playoffs for Game 3, but his status for Game 2 is up in the air.

The full injury report for the 76ers and Knicks can be found below:

Philadelphia 76ers * Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus procedure) - questionable * Tyrese Maxey (concussion) - questionable New York Knicks * DeAnthony Melton (spine) - questionable
