Pascal Siakam scored 10 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter, and Myles Turner added 18 points and 11 rebounds to help the Indiana Pacers beat the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers 115-102 on Saturday night.

The Philadelphia 76ers release the latest medical update on star big man Joel Embiid before their 3-game road trip begins.

The Philadelphia 76ers face a challenge as Joel Embiid is questionable for their game against the Indiana Pacers due to a foot injury. His potential absence could impact the team's performance, as the 76ers already struggle with injuries and rank low in key stats.

Joel Embiid has only played 13 out of a possible 39 games thus far and that number isn't going to increase for at least another 7-to-10 days as the Sixers will re-evaluate him then amid his knee troubles.

Joel Embiid's ongoing knee issues should alter the Sixers' strategy heading into the NBA trade deadline, as they now have far less incentive to make a win-now move.

The center's contract becomes more of an albatross with every game he misses, every night that he happens to suit up and ends up hobbling from one end of the court to the other.
