In non-Embiid news, Nick Nurse said that De’Anthony Melton is out again after leaving Tuesday’s loss in Boston with back spasms. No info beyond that, which isn’t usually the case…so take from that what you choose.
He did add KJ Martin participated in most of today’s practice. – 12:36 PM

Joel Embiid said he didn’t feel pressure to play after missing the Denver game. He said the team was on a losing streak and felt like he needed to be out there from that standpoint to help the team get back on track. – 12:03 PM
