The Philadelphia 76ers are set to begin their Round 1 playoff series against the Boston Celtics on Sunday at TD Garden in Boston. Unfortunately for the Sixers, star player Joel Embiid will not participate in the game as he is still recovering from appendectomy surgery he underwent on April 9. Coach Nick Nurse addressed Embiid's status during Friday's practice, indicating that his return to the court is still some time away. On a more positive note, rookie big man Johni Broome, who had undergone surgery for a torn meniscus, is not listed on the injury report and appears to be fit for play. The Sixers will look to capitalize on their opportunity to steal a game on the road against the Celtics, with the matchup beginning at 1 p.m. EDT. Following this game, the team will have a day off before facing the Celtics again in Game 2 on Tuesday.
