Joel Embiid is sidelined with a new knee issue. The star big man has been ruled out for the Sixers’ game Tuesday night vs. the Celtics because of right knee soreness. Embiid is being evaluated by team doctors, a Sixers official said early Tuesday afternoon. Embiid did not appear on the Sixers’ initial injury report Monday night. He’d sat out the team's’ loss Sunday to the Pistons with a “left knee injury management” designation and generally been unavailable for both legs of back-to-backs.
