Questionable Pair
Joel Embiid remains uncertain for the matchup with Toronto due to ongoing management of his right foot plantar fascia issue. He indicated he will consult with the team's medical staff before making any decision on his availability. LeBron James is also listed as questionable while tending to lower back and sciatica concerns.
Frontcourt Challenges
Embiid has already sat out two contests this season while addressing the foot problem, and the club holds a 1-1 mark in those games. Should he miss another outing, the frontcourt would be further depleted with Adem Bona sidelined by a cervical spine sprain and Dominick Barlow dealing with back trouble.
Early Season Struggles
Through the opening stretch Embiid has posted averages of 17.7 points and a 12.1 percent mark from three-point range. Those figures represent career lows, and he has pointed to a need for greater aggression when creating opportunities for himself and teammates.
