PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers ruled out center Joel Embiid for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers with right foot plantar fascia management, the team announced Saturday.
Big men Adem Bona (cervical spine sprain) and Dominick Barlow (back) are also out. Barlow hasn't played this season, and coach Nick Nurse said Saturday that he is "progressing" but has no timeline for his return.
LeBron James, who missed Thursday's win over the Toronto Raptors with sciatica and low back management, wasn't listed on the injury report.
Without Embiid, Bona and Barlow, the Sixers will be significantly thin in the frontcourt. Tacko Fall, a two-way player, is the only active center on the roster.
The Sixers will likely lean on James, Jabari Walker and Dean Wade to fill in the responsibilities at center.
The Sixers are 1-1 without Embiid this season. In those games, James started the first at center -- a loss to Detroit -- and then Bona in a win against the Hornets.
The game is the front end of a back-to-back; the Sixers will play the Nets in Brooklyn on Monday. Embiid and James haven't played both games of a back-to-back this season.
