Joel Embiid will not suit up for the Philadelphia 76ers against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, despite making a public push to play.
The Sixers listed Embiid out as part of the management plan for plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Philadelphia is taking the cautious route with its franchise center rather than clearing him for the Pistons matchup.
Embiid had indicated publicly that he wanted to be available, but the final decision kept him on the sideline as the club continues to monitor the foot issue.
