Joel Embiid Questionable Vs. Rockets

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Joel Embiid is listed as questionable for Friday night's game against the Houston Rockets, the Sixers announced.

Embiid, 22, missed the last two games after hyperextending his knee last week against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Embiid usually plays with the questionable tag, according to 94WIP's Jon Johnson.

The official Sixers' Twitter account tweeted this photo of Embiid, which makes him seem very healthy.
