Sixers overrule Embiid, sit center with plantar fasciitis management

The Philadelphia 76ers overruled Joel Embiid's desire to play and sat him out of Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons due to right foot plantar fasciitis management. Embiid had publicly stated he wanted to play in the contest, but the team made the decision to keep him sidelined. The move was described as part of managing the center's plantar fasciitis condition in his right foot.
