Embiid (knee) is expected to sit out Saturday's game against the Heat and Monday's game against the Pistons, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey reports.

Coach Brett Brown said the team will know more about Embiid's status over the next couple of days, but said it will be a "challenge" to get the center back for the final two games of the road trip. Embiid has already missed four consecutive contests with a bone bruise in his left knee, which he first sustained Jan. 20 against the Trail Blazers. Jahlil Okafor should continue working as the 76ers' starting center for as long as Embiid is sidelined.
