76ers Embiid and Covington Questionable for Game 4 as Injuries Continue to Plague Philadelphia

Embiid Battles Knee Injury, Covington Out with Bone Bruise

The Philadelphia 76ers injury woes continue as star center Joel Embiid and forward Robert Covington are listed as questionable for Game 4 against the New York Knicks. Embiid has been dealing with a left knee injury, while Covington is battling a left knee bone bruise.

Embiid's Knee Injury a Concern

Embiid, the Sixers' leading scorer and rebounder, has been playing through the knee injury but has been limited in practice and on the court. He appeared in both of the first two games of the series against the Knicks but sat out Game 3 due to the injury.

The Sixers will need Embiid at full strength if they want to even the series. The Knicks have taken a 2-1 lead and can steal home-court advantage with a win in Game 4.

Covington Sidelined with Bone Bruise

Covington suffered the bone bruise in Game 1 of the series and has not played since. He is expected to miss Game 4 and may also be out for Game 5.

Covington is a key defensive player for the Sixers and his absence will be a significant blow. The Knicks have exploited the lack of size in the Sixers' frontcourt, so Covington's return would be a major boost.

The Sixers will provide updates on both Embiid and Covington's status as Game 4 gets closer. With the series hanging in the balance, the availability of both players will be crucial for Philadelphia's chances of advancing.
