Nov 12 (Field Level Media) – Superstar LeBron James has been downgraded to out for the Philadelphia 76ers’ game against the visiting Toronto Raptors on Thursday.
James and center Joel Embiid were originally considered game-time decisions. James officially was ruled out in the afternoon due to low back/sciatica management on the NBA’s official injury report, while Embiid (right foot) remains questionable.
“We’ll see what they (the medical staff) have to say and then we’ll go from there,” Embiid told reporters on Thursday.
James, 41, finished with 11 points on 4-for-12 shooting in a 123-101 home loss to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday.
A four-time NBA MVP and 22-time All-Star, James is averaging 15.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists in 10 games (all starts) during his first season with the 76ers.
Embiid, 32, is averaging 17.7 points and 9.3 rebounds in 10 games (all starts) this season.
