HOUSTON (AP) — Joel Embiid was diagnosed with appendicitis and will undergo surgery on Thursday in Houston, the Philadelphia 76ers announced.
The 76ers are scheduled to play the Rockets on Thursday night.
The team said further updates will be provided as appropriate.
The 76ers are currently eighth in the Eastern Conference and on track for a spot in the play-in tournament.
Embiid has been limited to 38 games this season. He was held out against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday with “right oblique; injury management; (and) illness.”
He has not played in both games of a back-to-back all season.
