Philadelphia has listed Joel Embiid as doubtful due to post appendectomy surgery recovery that has kept him out since April 9, though it appears that the star center may be nearing a return for the 76ers.

With Embiid still sidelined, Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will both likely continue to have increased roles.

The 76ers have listed Kelly Oubre Jr. as questionable due to right adductor soreness and he is in danger of missing his first game of the playoffs.

If Oubre Jr. is sidelined, Quentin Grimes, Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker could all have larger roles.

Fans can catch Game 4 of the first-round series between the Celtics and 76ers from Philadelphia on Sunday night at 7:00 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
