Joel Embiid (illness) won't play Friday night against the Celtics, and the 76ers could also be without Tyrese Maxey (illness) and Nicolas Batum (finger).
Batum has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans due to an injury to his right index finger, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Nicolas Batum and De'Anthony Melton looked the part of integral role players for the Sixers on Sunday in Brooklyn.
