Doc Rivers opened up about how the Philadelphia 76ers plan to cover the absence of superstar big man Joel Embiid.
Embiid is dealing with right orbital fracture and mild concussion, an injury he sustained in Game 6 vs the Toronto Raptors.
The MVP candidate is out indefinitely and is expected to miss the start of the semi-finals series with the Miami Heat.
“Doc Rivers says Sixers will play “center by committee” w/o Joel Embiid, that they “may need all four” backup center options.
He expects Tobias Harris to spend time on Lowry, Butler, Adebayo throughout the series, sees Harris as possibly another five option vs. small lineups,” Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia wrote.
The series between the Heat and the Sixers tip off on Monday, May 2, with Miami having the home-court advantage.
