Before the game: the story

Opinion Sixers sit Joel Embiid against Detroit despite his push to play

Joel Embiid is out Sunday against the Pistons, the 76ers' first game without him this season, for right foot plantar fasciitis management. ESPN reports the team made the call even though Embiid had publicly said he wanted to play. He had a triple-double in Saturday's win over Milwaukee.

Reported Pistons lose Duren for weeks; Ausar Thompson questionable
ESPN reports Jalen Duren, who signed a five-year extension this month, will miss at least two weeks with a right hamstring strain. Ausar Thompson, who also left Friday's win at Miami, is questionable with an ankle injury and sat out Sunday's shootaround, according to Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News.
