Joel Embiid out against Celtics with finger injury

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid will not play in Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics because of a dislocated left ring finger, according to the team.

Embiid suffered the injury in the first quarter of Monday's 120-113 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

He was able to stay in the game, playing 32 minutes, but he said afterward that he had trouble going up for rebounds with his fingers taped.

The 76ers did not announce Embiid's status beyond Thursday's game. Philadelphia travels to play Dallas on Saturday.
