Joel Embiid will miss Wednesday’s road game against the Atlanta Hawks due to swelling in his left knee, according to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Embiid will miss his second straight game after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Utah Jazz.
Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant will have season-ending surgery on his right shoulder, the team announced on Monday night.
Morant suffered a right shoulder subluxation during a training session on Saturday, forcing him to miss Sunday’s road win over the Phoenix Suns. He had an MRI, which revealed an underlying labral tear that will require surgery to repair, according to the team. 
Morant is expected to be fully recovered by the beginning of the 2024-25 season.
The Grizzlies went 6-3 with Morant in the lineup, matching Memphis’ win total from his 25-game suspension to begin the season. Morant was suspended for conduct detrimental to the league after brandishing a firearm during an Instagram live video. He received an eight-game suspension for a similar incident last season.
Morant will be the second Memphis starter to have season-ending surgery. Steven Adams will miss the entire season after undergoing preseason surgery to repair the PCL in his right knee, which has kept the center out since January of last year.
