Embiid is set to start the season on the shelf, unavailable for the Sixers' season opener against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday while nursing a left knee injury. He's set to miss the first week of the season due to the injury, meaning he'll also be sidelined for Friday's showdown against the Toronto Raptors.
