Embiid remains without a timetable for return, and he told reporters Wednesday it's "unlikely" he will play in Game 1 of the Sixers' first-round series against the Miami Heat, according to The Athletic's Derek Bodner.

However, he stopped short of ruling himself out entirely and said there's "still a chance" he'll suit up for the club's first postseason tilt since 2012.
