Embiid's Knee Injury Casts Doubt on Availability for Game 6 Against Knicks

New York Knicks Aim to Clinch Series in Game 6

Covington's Season Cut Short, Embiid to Miss Road Trip

The Philadelphia 76ers are facing uncertainty as star center Joel Embiid's knee is listed as questionable for Game 6 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series against the New York Knicks. The Knicks hold a 3-2 series lead and are looking to close out the series at home on Thursday.

In addition to Embiid's injury concerns, the 76ers will also be without forward Robert Covington, who is out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. The injuries leave the 76ers shorthanded in the frontcourt, and they will need contributions from others to fill the void.

The Knicks, meanwhile, are looking to capitalize on the 76ers' injury woes and close out the series. Led by All-Star forward Julius Randle, the Knicks have been playing with confidence and will be hungry to clinch the series on their home court.

The status of Embiid's knee injury will be closely monitored in the lead-up to Game 6. If he is unable to play, the 76ers will have a tough task ahead of them against a surging Knicks team.
