The Boston Celtics aim to secure a commanding 3-1 series lead over the 76ers on Sunday night, but Philadelphia received some unfortunate news ahead of the game.
Philadelphia has listed star center Joel Embiid as doubtful for Game 4, but it will reevaluate him ahead of tip-off before making a final decision.
Joel Embiid remains doubtful for tonight

Embiid has yet to play in any games this series as he is still recovering from an emergency appendectomy he underwent on April 9.
The 32-year-old center is the heart and soul of the 76ers, and if he can’t go for Game 4, there’s a strong chance the Celtics will leave Philadelphia with both wins in hand.
Philadelphia listed forward Kelly Oubre as questionable due to an adductor injury. At the same time, the Celtics released their injury report on Saturday, noting there are no new injuries.
The Celtics need to capitalize on the opportunity if Embiid isn’t on the floor. If the 76ers find a way to win, it will turn into a best-of-three series, and with Embiid potentially returning for the last three games, he could make a difference. If he’s at his best, he has the potential to be the top player on the court.
