Joel Embiid will start Game 4 for the Philadelphia 76ers against the Boston Celtics after being cleared 17 days following an emergency appendectomy. The Sixers upgraded Embiid from doubtful to questionable and listed him available after he missed the first three games of the first-round series. Pregame photos showed him wearing an abdominal wrap during his shooting routine, and his return immediately alters Philadelphia's lineup and defensive matchups in the series.
