The Boston Celtics<\/a> aim to secure a commanding 3-1 series lead over the 76ers<\/a> on Sunday night, but Philadelphia<\/a> received some unfortunate news ahead of the game.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia has listed star center Joel Embiid<\/a> as doubtful for Game 4, but it will reevaluate him ahead of tip-off before making a final decision.<\/p>\n

Embiid has yet to play in any games this series as he is still recovering from an emergency appendectomy he underwent on April 9.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old center is the heart and soul of the 76ers, and if he can\u2019t go for Game 4, there\u2019s a strong chance the Celtics will leave Philadelphia with both wins in hand.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia listed forward Kelly Oubre<\/a> as questionable due to an adductor injury. At the same time, the Celtics released their injury report on Saturday, noting there are no new injuries.<\/p>\n

The Celtics need to capitalize on the opportunity if Embiid isn\u2019t on the floor. If the 76ers find a way to win, it will turn into a best-of-three series, and with Embiid potentially returning for the last three games, he could make a difference. If he\u2019s at his best, he has the potential to be the top player on the court.<\/p>\n
