Embiid undergoing MRI on ailing knee

76ers center Joel Embiid will undergo an MRI after the reigning MVP hurt his left knee Tuesday in a 119-107 road loss to the Warriors.

Embiid scored 14 points in that game before limping to the locker room with 4:04 remaining after the Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga fell on the 7-footer’s left leg.

This game marked Embiid’s return to action after an issue with his left knee prevented him from playing Saturday against the Nuggets and Monday against the Trail Blazers. Both games were on the road.

Embiid, the league’s leading scorer, was expected to travel back to Philadelphia.
