The Nets will have their hands full Saturday as they travel to Philadelphia for Game 1 of their first round playoff series against the 76ers.
Luckily for Brooklyn though, it appears as if their opponent may not be at full strength.
The 76ers listed center Joel Embiid as doubtful for Saturday's game with left knee soreness.
Embiid has been a massive problem for the Nets all year. The 7-foot-0 big man posted four double-doubles in the teams' four games against each other during the regular season, averaging 30 points and 14.3 rebounds in those contests.
On the season, Embiid averaged 27.5 points, 13.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game on his way to his second consecutive All-Star appearance.
Since the All-Star break, Embiid has played in only eight of Philadelphia's 22 games.
