Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has a bone bruise on his left knee and will be reevaluated in two weeks, the team announced Saturday.

An MRI overnight revealed no structural damage to the knee that Embiid hyperextended in a victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday night, sources said. Embiid underwent the MRI immediately after returning to Philadelphia late on Friday night, sources said.

Embiid's ACL and meniscus are fine, sources said, and there's significant relief within the Sixers that the injury isn't something much worse.

Embiid left Friday night's game when he hyperextended his left knee after landing with all his weight on his leg after a dunk in the third quarter.

Embiid was in the midst of the latest dominant performance of his MVP-caliber season, scoring 23 points on 8-for-11 shooting to go along with 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in 20 minutes, when he caught a pass from Tobias Harris and flew in for a dunk to give Philadelphia an 80-60 lead with 6 minutes, 20 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

But as Embiid went down after the dunk, his full body weight landed on that left leg -- causing it to hyperextend, sending him falling to the court and causing him to writhe around in pain.

After staying down for a few minutes, Embiid eventually got to his feet and walked off under his own power -- though with a fairly pronounced limp -- as he went straight back to the visitors locker room inside Washington's Capital One Arena.

Embiid had a similarly scary situation last month when he hyperextended his right knee in an awkward fall against the Portland Trail Blazers after blocking an Enes Kanter layup. In that game, Embiid returned a few minutes later and dominated, scoring 31 first-half points in a matchup Philadelphia eventually lost.

The Sixers had just gotten Embiid back Friday night after both he and Ben Simmons missed Thursday's win in Chicago over the Bulls -- as well as Sunday's All-Star Game in Atlanta -- because of contact tracing stemming from a barber both stars visited before heading to Atlanta.

ESPN's Tim Bontemps contributed to this report.

I have been making the rounds from my home in Atlanta for the past three weeks to watch high school and college games with the 2021 MLB draft now four months away. It's not time to update my initial ranking of the top 50 prospects for this summer's draft just yet, but there are plenty of players making their way up (and down) the first round from what I have seen in my first in-person looks of the season.

Texas athlete’s result highlights the women’s performances on day two of the NCAA Championships

Tara Davis won the world youth title six years ago and is still only aged 21 but she made a huge step forward in winning a high quality long jump to suddenly add her name to a very crowded list of Olympic contenders in her event.

Going into the competition with a 6.68m indoor PB, she started with a 6.57m opener before setting a PB 6.71m in the second round to take the lead before exploding to a 6.93m in the third round to sew up the gold but also set a world lead and collegiate and championships record.

This is how Tara Davis broke the long-standing collegiate record of 6.91m shared by Elva Goulbourne and Whitney Gibson. pic.twitter.com/Ll3Y6CoM6O https://t.co/7MvGwUTvjY

— AW (@AthleticsWeekly) March 13, 2021

Claire Bryant was second with 6.70m just ahead of Tyra Gittens’ 6.68m.

Gittens had earlier followed up day’s one pentathlon victory with a 1.90m winning leap in the high jump.

Her Texas A&M lead the standings at the halfway stage with all their points scored by the Trinidad and Tobago athlete!

Sweden’s former European junior champion Lisa Gunnarsson set a PB 4.56m to win the pole vault by a clear margin.

Adelaide Aquilla was the day’s other field winner as she took the shot title with a 18.12m throw.

World Junior 100m silver medallist Twanisha Terry set a PB in winning her 60m heat in a fast 7.09 to be quickest qualifier.

The highly talented Athing Mu, who recently broke Keely Hodgkinson’s world junior 800m record, will be hoping for an under-20 400m record in Saturday’s final after she won her heat in 51.02, well over half a second faster than any of the other qualifiers.

Mu’s 200m splits were 24.14 and 26.88.

European Junior 400m silver medallist Amber Anning was fifth fastest overall and made the finals with a 52.03 clocking after a fast 23.96 halfway split as Talitha Diggs narrowly beat her in the heat in 51.91.

Fellow Briton Nicole Yeargin did not qualify with a 52.81 after a 24.39 200m split.

Briton Ellie Leather just missed out on making the mile final by five hundredths of a second despite a 4:41.78 PB and running the fastest final 200m of the race in 31.27 as she finished fifth in her heat. Krissy Gear front ran to victory in the heat in 4:40.92 though Sage Hurta won the second heat in a faster 4:37.04.

Abby Steiner, who has run a 22.41 this winter in winning the SEC Championships, was the quickest of the 200m runners in 22.62.

Chanel Brissett was fastest in the 60m hurdles heats with a time of 8.04.

The women’s 5000m final was a disappointing slow tactical affair with nine athletes together at 4000m in 12:51.01 and a last kilometre barely inside three minutes giving a victory to Aubern’s Kenyan Joyce Kimeli with a time of 15:48.98.

Less than a second covered the eight 800m qualifiers with Claire Seymour narrowly the fastest with 2:03.97.

In the  distance medley Arkansas led the opening leg with a 3:20.01 1200m through Lauren Gregory but Brigham Young took command after a 52.41 400m from Alena Ellsworth and 2:05.74 800m from Lauren Ellsworth while a 4:32.90 1600m from Courtney Wayment gave them a four second victory in 10:52.96.

The quickest 800m split was by Ole Missori’s Sintayehu Vissa (2:05.37) while the quickest 1600m was from Alamis Tyynismaa with 4:31.11 though her Alabama team were disqualified.

At the NCAA Indoor Champs in Fayetteville, LSU athlete achieves the greatest high jump and long jump one day double in history

The 2018 World Junior bronze medallist JuVaughn Harrison easily won the high jump with a 2.30m PB. He then used that very effectively as a warm up for the long jump three hours later where he was even more impressive as he won with a brilliant world lead of 8.45m to repeat his jumps double from the 2019 NCAA outdoor event.

Competing on Friday (March 12), the 21-year-old started with a 7.89m jump, improving to 8.02m in the third round then 8.14m in the fourth before unleashing his big PB in the fifth round. His previous best was 8.33m at the same venue in February.

Until that point Isaac Grimes had looked the favourite as he opened with a 8.14m, 8.21m and a 8.20m in the opening three rounds and after Harrison took the lead he responded with a 8.35m in the last round to at least overhaul Carey McLeod who had jumped 8.26m in the fifth round.

Turner Washington, ranked third in the world on 2021 indoor marks, was a clear winner of the shot with a 21.36m throw.

Wesley Kiptoo ran away with the 5000m. He blasted the first 400m in 59.79 and was through the opening kilometre in 2:32.20 and 2000m in 5:11.53, which was still inside 13-minute tempo.

He slowed thereafter but had a big lead at 3000m in 7:55.53 and was able to ease further to win in 13:23.77. Eric Hamer was second in 13:29.60 and he just about held off Morgan Beadlescomb (13:29.96) who blasted a 26.85 last 200m.

In the heptathlon, Denim Roberts was the pick of the high hurdlers with a 7.97 clocking but overnight leader Kyle Garland strengthened his lead with a 8.07 as second placed overnight Leo Neugebauer failed to finish his heat.

Garland retained his lead with a 4.87m vault but Estonian Karel Tilga jumped 4.96m to close the gap to 38 points and then the latter ran 2:36.32 to win the 1000m and win the event overall with a score of 6264 points to Garland’s 6200.

Tilga’s performance would have placed him second in the European Championships behind decathlon world record-holder Kevin Mayer.

Ayden Owens was a distant third with 5995 points.

Micah Williams was the fastest in the 60m races with a 6.52 clocking as it took a time of 6.65 to make the eight-man final.

Two Britons qualified for the mile final. Tom Dodd finished second in his heat in a big PB of 3:57.00 with a 57.57 last quarter. Yusuf Bizimana was second in a more tactical heat with a time of 4:05.64 with a 55.40 last quarter. Cole Hocker was the fastest with 3:56.57 in Dodd’s heat.

Finley McLear, the 2019 European junior bronze medallist from Devon, qualified for the 800m final as he finished second in his heat in 1:48.56 courtesy of a 26.68 last 200m as Jason Gomez was the fastest qualifier with 1:47.65.

The hurdles prelims suggest an exciting final with Damion Thomas (7.56), Trey Cunningham (7.57) and Jamal Britt (7.58) all running similar times.

There were some fast times in the men’s 400m. In Torun last weekend 46.22 was sufficient to win gold in the European Indoors but two athletes ran 46.04 and 46.06 in Fayetteville and did not even make the final as the slowest time to make Saturday’s finals was 45.97 as Noah Williams headed qualifying with a 45.34, though Bryce Deadmon won his heat in 45.37.

Terrance Laird was the fastest 200m qualifier with 20.49 but only by a thousand of a second as his 20.485 edged Matthew Boling’s 20.49.

Oregon won the distance medley relay in a meeting record 9:19.08 with splits of 2:52.73 at 1200m for Cole Hocker, 47.58 in the 400m for Xavier Nairne, 1:46.70 in the 800m for Charlie Hunter and 3:52.99 for Cooper Teare in the 1600m, They had the fastest splits in all bar the 400m where Texas’s Jonathan Jones split a 45.50.

"People joke that I never sleep," Kate Zackary says as she uses some rare free time between rugby and work to chat about one of English rugby union's newest teams.

But the 31-year-old has to juggle her rugby career in the English top flight with her day job in digital marketing.

"I have to do around 10 calls a week, usually a few more depending on internal calls," she told BBC Sport - also over a video call.

"I have to find time to meet with clients, most of whom are on Pacific Time, so an eight-hour difference.

"Twice a week when we have our more full days, when we're in there from about 11:30 to 20:30, I work for a few hours in the morning, usually find about an hour in-between sessions and then work for about two hours when I come home."

It is a tough schedule, but with no television deal and no money coming through the turnstiles because of the Covid-19 pandemic, many players in the Premier 15s have to juggle work and training.

With uncertainty also surrounding the women's game in the United States, Zackary and a number of her North American-based counterparts were drawn to England - even if it meant joining a side that had never played a game before.

"We had a Women's Premier League, but there were a lot of questions as to whether it was going to happen, the same with some of our US camps," she said.

"There was so much indecision, whereas Chiefs were able to offer, hypothetically, a very consistent schedule, training programme, things like that."

'We're right up there and respected, that's the most important thing'

Like Exeter's men's team, who were promoted to the Premiership a decade ago and have gone on to become one of the dominant forces in English club rugby, the Chiefs' women have proved that despite being new they are no pushovers.

They are fifth in the Premier 15s table, on a seven-game winning run and were the first side to beat reigning champions Saracens in more than two years in January. They could make the end-of-season play-offs if results go their way.

"We're right up there and respected, that's the most important thing," said head coach Susie Appleby, who is assisted by former England hooker Amy Garnett.

"In the beginning it was 'We're going off to Exeter, they're brand new'.

"Now they're going 'We're off to play against a real contender' and that's what we wanted to be, we wanted to make a name for ourselves and I truly believe we've done that and we're only going to get better and better."

One Chiefs family

Exeter chairman Tony Rowe first announced his intention to bid for a Premier 15s licence two years ago and the club, along with Sale, are making their debut this season.

The Chiefs' women are very much part of the club - they play all their home matches at Sandy Park, share the same training facilities as the Premiership and European champions and benefit from coaching sessions with men's coaches like Rob Baxter, Rob Hunter and Julian Salvi.

"For me it feels like they're really embedded in the club and it feels great to support another Chiefs team," said director of rugby Baxter, who has masterminded the on-field success of the men's side since taking over in 2009.

"It's been brilliant, I've enjoyed every moment that I've watched, I've enjoyed watching how the team have grown together and how much they'll fight for each other.

"Susie and Amy are doing a fantastic job of putting together what is a group of players from across the world and they look like they've got a really good team ethos that's going to hold them in good stead for the rest of this year."

That integration has been another plus point for Zackery, who hopes to represent the USA in the delayed Women's World Cup in New Zealand next year.

"I know at other clubs there's not a whole lot of overlap," she said.

"You've got two teams, a men's and a women's, but they train on different fields, they don't practise at the same place, they don't play the games at the same places.

"We're very lucky in that sense and they're extremely respectful of us too. They definitely seem to love having us there, so it makes it much more enjoyable to come in every day."

Before Shaun Edwards, there was David Ellis.

But like Edwards, he coaches union, specifically defence.

And for more than a decade, Yorkshireman Ellis held the job that Edwards has now; defence coach for the French national team.

During his time in the French set-up, Ellis was part of five Six Nations wins, three Grand Slams, and runs to the semi-final and final of the 2007 and 2011 World Cups respectively.

He has also held positions at Racing, Bordeaux, Castres, Brive and Lyon, and most recently spent time with Toulouse in preparation for their Champions Cup quarter-final win over Ulster in September.

England's Six Nations defence looks a lost cause after defeats by Scotland and Wales in the first three games. By contrast, France have it all to play for, riding high on confidence and victories over Italy and Ireland.

But Ellis says England can flip the formbook and knock the strut out of France's young, exciting team on Saturday at Twickenham. Here's how.

Win the whistle war

England's disciplinary record has come under scrutiny so far in the tournament, after they gave up 41 penalties in their first three games.

But France have their own problems. Mohamed Haouas' red card - for a haymaking right hand to Scotland flanker Jamie Ritchie's nose - arguably cost his side last year's title.

They picked up four yellow cards in the 2020 Six Nations, more than any other team, and Bernard le Roux's sin-binning meant last month's win over Ireland was narrower than it needed to be.

"Without a doubt, discipline is something that can let France down," Ellis told BBC Sport.

"They are a young side, relatively inexperienced, and when the opposition build pressure on them, they can infringe. It is an ongoing thing with the French.

"Even when I was involved with the French team, before emphasising any organisational aspects, individual discipline was the number one factor."

Target midfield

Virimi Vakatawa is back from injury and straight into the French XV. Strong and fast, he can find holes or create them. But, while England go with an established partnership in Owen Farrell and Henry Slade, Vakatawa and Gael Fickou have paired up in a starting midfield only five times previously.

And neither are specialists. Both have also done stints on the wing, Vakatawa at the start of his Test career, Fickou more recently.

"There is a question mark around midfield," explained Ellis.

"France have swapped and changed with Fickou out on the wing, and then back in centres. Vakatawa has been a staple at centre recently but he is a converted wing. Defensively, there is a weakness there.

"And, if and when Romain Ntamack comes off the bench, he is not the best defensive fly-half in the game."

Beware dangers of Teflon Dupont

Antoine Dupont's sniping power around the fringes and skilful hands have been one of the engines of France's revival.

The 24-year-old scrum-half is arguably the best player in the world right now, earning fulsome praise from England counterpart Ben Youngs and New Zealand nine Aaron Smith.

Eddie Jones said he would settle for Dupont having merely a good, rather than exceptional, game.

He said: "We'd like Dupont to have a tidy game, do all the simple things well, but not any of the special things.

"If we can keep him in a little box, then it will be a good result for us."

Second row Maro Itoje did an effective job of hassling Ali Price and Kieran Hardy in the games against Scotland and Wales respectively, albeit at the cost of several penalties. Will he be given the same mission against France?

"Ireland did a good job on France, and part of that was taking care of Antoine Dupont," said Ellis. "They put pressure on him so he didn't have any space to develop the quick style of play he likes."

Kick with caution

On France's last Six Nations trip to Twickenham in 2019, England ran away to a thumping 44-8 win as they kicked into acres of space behind the visiting defence.

Their full-back this weekend is Brice Dulin, who stands only 5ft 9in tall. But Ellis thinks England shouldn't be tempted to launch an aerial assault Dulin's way.

"You would be wasting your time," Ellis said.

"Dulin, alongside Dupont, has been France's outstanding player. I remember when Racing played the Heineken Cup final against Saracens in 2016. Richard Wigglesworth put up a load of box kicks, the weather wasn't good, Dulin was bombarded all the time... and he took everything.

"He is one of the best in the world under the high ball, his size doesn't come into it. When he leaves the ground, he commands the air."

Finish well in the front five

France have a grizzled forward pack to go with a glittering backline. But some of their strength in the front five has been sapped by illness and injury.

Second row Le Roux is missing and replaced by Romain Taofifenua, making only his third start in as many years for France.

"When France play their best front five, you are not going to get much out of them," said Ellis.

"Julien Marchand is the prototype for a modern-day hooker - a great runner and ball-handler who can jackal and turn the ball over in defence.

"With Le Roux and Paul Willemse, it is like having two additional back-row forwards. They carry really well and hit hard in defence.

"But when any other second row is in there, the wheels start coming loose.

"And in the second half, when the changes go into the front row, there is doubt over whether the replacements are going to be able to do as well."

AVONDALE, Ariz. – Only two challengers had chances to stop Ty Gibbs from winning Friday’s General Tire 150 at Phoenix Raceway in the closing laps.

One was Corey Heim. The other was rain, as sprinkles began to fall on the one-mile paved oval while the field prepared for the final restart.

Driving the No. 18 Pristine Auction Toyota for his grandfather’s Joe Gibbs Racing team, Gibbs beat both his rival driver and the weather in a one-lap dash to the finish for his first win of the season on the ARCA Menards Series platform.

The 18-year-old from Charlotte, N.C., now has nine wins on his ARCA resume.

Friday night’s General Tire 150 at Phoenix was also the one and only combination race featuring the ARCA Menards Series and the ARCA Menards Series West this season.

Gibbs now has two career West Series wins, including his victory at Phoenix in 2019 in what was then the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.

“Not a lot of kids get to do what I do,” said Gibbs, the grandson of Pro Football and NASCAR Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs, in victory lane. “I’m very thankful for that, and I really love driving race cars.”

A caution with seven laps to go set up a last-lap race to the line between Gibbs and Heim, the latter of whom won the ARCA Menards Series season-opener at Daytona (Fla.) Int’l Speedway on Feb. 13.

Heim challenged Gibbs on the restart, but the No. 18 pulled away to the point where the No. 20 had no way to battle for the win in the final corner.

“In those moments, God blessed me a lot with my driving ability,” said Gibbs of the final restart. “I had clean tires. Somehow I drove through it; it was raining pretty hard there for a little bit, and it kind of cleared off, and we went back to green.”

Heim, who finished second at Phoenix, keeps the ARCA Menards Series championship lead by three points over Gibbs through two of 20 races.

Because Friday’s race at Phoenix was the first round of the ARCA Menards Series West season, Gibbs leaves Phoenix as the point leader in that series.

Jesse Love, the defending ARCA Menards Series West champion, was the highest finishing driver (sixth) Friday among those with intentions of running the complete West Series season and competing for the series title.

Thad Moffitt earned his best ARCA Menards Series finish to date with a third-place run at Phoenix. Kyle Sieg and 2019 West Series champion Derek Kraus rounded out the top five.

Drew Dollar, Todd Souza, Taylor Gray and Trevor Huddleston made up the rest of the top 10 behind Love.

Multiple contenders were taken out of the race Friday before the field completed the first lap. Gracie Trotter made contact with Zane Smith entering turn three.

The two then spun and collected Jack Wood and Toni Breidinger.

With 30 laps to go, another strong contender in Nick Sanchez was knocked out of the race by a crash.

He tangled with a lapped car and hit the wall while running third.

Gibbs, who started Friday’s race on the General Tire Pole after qualifying was rained out, led 124 of the 150 laps.

Gray was the only other driver who led double-digit laps at Phoenix with 15.

Gray fell out of contention during the competition caution halfway through the race, when his pit crew committed a penalty for changing tires and fueling at the same time during a modified live pit stop.

He was held two laps, one of which he got back before finishing ninth as the first car a lap down.

Friday’s race at Phoenix featured seven cautions for a total of 64 laps.

The ARCA Menards Series gets a lengthy break before its next race, the April 24 running of the General Tire 200 at Talladega Superspeedway, live on FS1 starting at 1 p.m. ET.

The ARCA Menards Series West gets an even longer break before its next on-track action, a road-course race at Sonoma Raceway on June 5.

That event is scheduled to be shown live on TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold.

The finish:

Ty Gibbs, Corey Heim, Thad Moffitt, Kyle Sieg, Derek Kraus, Jesse Love, Drew Dollar, Todd Souza, Taylor Gray, Trevor Huddleston, Paul Pedroncelli Jr., Cole Moore, Tim Richmond, Mark Lowrey, Dean Thompson, Joey Iest, Tony Toste, Jake Drew, Richard Garvie, D.L. Wilson, Nick Sanchez, Bridget Burgess, Takuma Koga, Bobby Hillis Jr., Bryce Haugeberg, Brad Smith, Gracie Trotter, Zane Smith, Jack Wood, Toni Breidinger.

Lunch Zimbabwe 287 (Raza 85*, Rashid 4-138) & 90 for 2 (Musakanda 9*, Williams 35*) trail Afghanistan 545 for 4 (Hashmatullah 200*, Jamal 55*) by 168 runs

Afghanistan are eight wickets away from winning the second Test against Zimbabwe in Abu Dhabi and sharing the series, with Zimbabwe chipping away at a deficit that remains significant. Zimbabwe are 168 runs behind and have already lost both opening batsmen, on a surface that is now taking significant turn.

Unlike the first Test, which was over in two days on a green-tinged pitch, this strip has played to reputation. With little in it for seam and spin for most of the first three days, runs flowed and Afghanistan racked up the fifth-highest score at this venue. Zimbabwe should have batted with more discipline on the third day but were bowled out with a deficit of 258 and forced to follow-on, and now find themselves in trouble as they seek a first Test series win since 2004.

Kevin Kasuza and Prince Masvaure started the day cautiously, against a tight Afghan attack. They managed just 10 runs in the 11 overs before Masvaure decided to take on offspinner Javed Ahmadi, who continued a spell that started on the third evening and stretched to 12 overs. Masvuare found boundaries behind square on the on and offside as Ahmadi tossed it up, which ended up working to his advantage. In his next over, Ahmadi offered similar deliveries on all six balls, ending with a full toss that Masvuare drove straight back to him.

Four balls later, Kasuza played inside the line trying to defend a Rashid Khan googly and found the outside edge. Rahmat Shah at first slip took the catch. Rashid could have had a wicket with his next ball when Sean Williams poked at a delivery that took the shoulder of the bat and fell short of first slip.

With two new batsmen at the crease and men around the bat, Afghanistan continued to apply pressure on Zimbabwe, and Williams' approach was to counterattack. When Ahmadi gave him a half-tracker, Williams dispatched it through wide long-on for four, when Ahmadi offered width, he drove square for four more and when Amir Hamza tossed it up, Williams slog-swept over mid-wicket for six. Tarisai Musakanda attempted something similar but only got a top-edge that evaded Asghar Afghan at mid-on. Afghanistan would not have minded that too much, knowing that if Zimbabwe continue to take risks, the opportunity to take wickets will remain.

LOS ANGELES -- Anthony Davis will be sidelined at least two more weeks because of tendinosis and a calf strain in his right leg, the Los Angeles Lakers said Friday.

Davis was examined by team doctors Friday before the Lakers' first game out of the All-Star break against the Indiana Pacers and was cleared to ramp up activity in pursuit of a return, the team said.

With Friday's 105-100 win, L.A. has gone 4-7 without Davis since the All-Star big man had to exit a game against the Denver Nuggets on Feb. 14 before halftime after aggravating his right leg.

"We'll be patient," head coach Frank Vogel said. "We'll continue to compete and win games. And we'll all be very excited once we get [Davis] back."

Davis is averaging 22.5 points (his lowest scoring output since his second season in the league) and 8.4 rebounds (his lowest total since his rookie year) this season, coming off a shortened offseason after capturing the championship in the NBA bubble in Orlando, Florida.

Davis will be reevaluated in two weeks by medical personnel before he will be eligible to return to play, the team said, meaning he will miss at least nine more games.

Damian Jones, who signed a second consecutive 10-day contract this week, started at center against the Pacers and had seven points in 16 minutes.

With Marc Gasol also out because of the league's health and safety protocols, LeBron James said it was a "collective effort in the frontcourt" Friday night. Kyle Kuzma had a team-high 24 points and 13 rebounds, while James had 18 points and Montrezl Harrell added 17. Markieff Morris had eight points and seven rebounds.

"It's a collective group and we all have to put our hardhats on in the absence of Marc and AD and just play bigger than our size," James said. "So it's going to be a collective group for all of us."

Lakers guard Alex Caruso left in the first half Friday night after hitting his head on the court following a slip. He did not return, and the Lakers said he was being evaluated for a concussion but hadn't entered protocol.

Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers said he's "hoping for the best" as the team waits for an MRI on Joel Embiid's hyperextended left knee, which he suffered after landing with all his weight on his leg after a dunk in the third quarter of Friday night's 127-101 win over the Washington Wizards.

"[He] just fell awkwardly," Rivers said, adding that Embiid will have the MRI after the team returns to Philadelphia later Friday night. "Thought there was a little contact when we went up to dunk the ball. Thought he fell with his balance off.

"I'm not going to speculate [on the severity of the injury]. Tomorrow we'll have all the information for you. Hoping for the best. I did talk to him. He was in the locker room. He's in pretty good spirits.

"So let's just hope for the best."

Embiid was in the midst of the latest dominant performance of his MVP-caliber season, scoring 23 points on 8-for-11 shooting to go along with 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in 20 minutes, when he caught a pass from Tobias Harris and flew in for a dunk to give Philadelphia an 80-60 lead with 6 minutes, 20 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

But as Embiid went down after the dunk, his full body weight landed on that left leg -- causing it to hyperextend, sending him falling to the court and causing him to writhe around in pain.

After staying down for a few minutes, Embiid eventually got to his feet and walked off under his own power -- though with a fairly pronounced limp -- as he went straight back to the visitors locker room inside Washington's Capital One Arena.

"When I saw the replay, it's just that he landed in a tough position on his left knee, I believe, so it looked like a hyperextension and that's what we'll hope it is," Harris said. "We're just praying he'll be OK and he'll be healthy tomorrow as he gets the MRI.

"We know how important Joel is to the team, and how much emphasis he puts on his health and his body this year, so it was unfortunate to see that happen. So, just really praying that he'll be all right."

If Embiid is out for any length of time, the Sixers will turn to some combination of Dwight Howard, Tony Bradley and even Ben Simmons to fill Embiid's minutes at center, but none of them would be able to adequately fill the hole left by the player Rivers said is "obviously" the MVP of the league thus far.

"It helps," Rivers said of having options to try at center. "Obviously, Joel is the MVP of the league, but having Tony and Dwight and Vincent, having Mike Scott's ability to play the 5, hopefully if Joel is out at any point, we can hold the fort."

Embiid had a similarly scary situation last month when he hyperextended his right knee in an awkward fall against the Portland Trail Blazers after blocking an Enes Kanter layup. In that game, Embiid returned a few minutes later and dominated, scoring 31 first-half points in a matchup Philadelphia eventually lost.

Philadelphia got Embiid back Friday night after both he and Simmons missed Thursday's win in Chicago over the Bulls -- as well as Sunday's All-Star Game in Atlanta -- because of contact tracing stemming from a barber both stars visited before heading to Atlanta.

Simmons remained out Friday but was expected to return -- assuming he doesn't have a positive test for COVID-19 before then -- for Sunday's game in Philadelphia against the San Antonio Spurs.

The win kept the Sixers atop the Eastern Conference, moving them a full game ahead of the second-place Brooklyn Nets.
