Philadelphia's seven-time All-Star Joel Embiid was ruled out of a second consecutive game on Monday night because of a sore left knee. Embiid had been listed as questionable before the game against the Portland Trail Blazers after sitting out the 76ers' game against Denver on Saturday. Sixers coach Nick Nurse said Embiid's status for Tuesday night's game at Golden State was uncertain.
