CAMDEN, N.J. — As part of his restrictions on back-to-back games, Joel Embiid will not play Wednesday at home against the Wizards.

Embiid will play on the road Thursday in a nationally televised game (TNT) against reigning Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns and the Timberwolves.

Jahlil Okafor will play Wednesday under a 24-minute restriction. He also is expected to play in Minnesota, with minutes to be determined following Wednesday's game.

"I am allowed to play back-to-back," Okafor said after shootaround. "They're not sure how many minutes I'm going to play tomorrow. It all depends on how tonight goes and how I feel after. But just to know they think I am able to play back-to-back is a sign of progress."

Guard Jerryd Bayless, called up from the D-League on Wednesday, remains on the inactive list. He went through monitored practice with the Delaware 87ers. Bayless has been sidelined since training camp with a left wrist injury.

The Sixers, who have lost their last two games by a combined 48 points, face the 2-7 Wizards tonight at 7.
