What happened to Joel Embiid and Patrick Beverley?

Embiid missed the last three games with left knee inflammation after playing the New York Knicks on Jan. 6.

Before injuring his knee, Embiid had returned from an ankle sprain sustained against the Toronto Raptors on Dec. 22 when he landed on a player's foot to block his shot, twisting it, but was able to finish the game.

Embiid has missed 10 games this season due to ankle, hip, illness and knee, while Beverley has only missed two. He missed his first game against the Raptors on Dec. 22 due to a heel contusion, while the last game against the Hornets was due to a non-COVID-19 illness.
