Embiid (oblique) won't play in Saturday's game against Detroit, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid had a 19-point, 13-rebound double-double with seven assists and three blocks across 34 minutes in Friday's 115-103 win over the Timberwolves. However, as expected, he won't play Saturday versus the Pistons, the second game of a back-to-back. Without Embiid, Adem Bona is the favorite to re-enter the starting lineup, with Andre Drummond likely to see minutes behind him from the bench.
