With Joel Embiid ruled out for the season, the 76ers are officially back in the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes (if they ever left).

Joel Embiid is done for the season, at last shut down following the lingering effects of knee surgery. Uncertainty, however, remains in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse told reporters on Saturday prior to the team's game against the Golden State Warriors that star big man Joel Embiid did not suffer a setback before the team shut him down for the remainder of the season due to a lingering left knee injury.
