Problem with Sixers!
THE Joel Embiid is dealing with a knee problem in his right leg after his team’s third match against Brooklyn Netswhich means he will be absent from Game 4 (22/4, 20:00).
However, as it turns out, the Cameroonian center has no serious problem and will probably be ready from the beginning of next week, therefore ahead of a possible fifth game. We remind you that the Sixers lead 3-0 in the series, and they will have the opportunity to “sweep” the Nets in Game 4.

However, the Sixers are not the only team facing an injury problem.
The Clippers star, Kawhi Leonard, has officially been ruled out for his team’s Game 4 against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday (4/22, 10:30 p.m.). This marks the second straight playoff game Leonard has missed with a sprained knee.
THE Leonard played very well in the first two games of the Clippers’ first-round series against Phoenix, scoring 38 and 31 points, respectively.
The Clippers lost Game 3 without the American 129-124 and now trail Phoenix 2-1, so his absence Leonard may cost the LA team significantly.
