Sixers star Joel Embiid has been discharged from a Houston hospital and is heading back to Philadelphia, with the team saying Friday there is no set timeline for his return to the court.
Embiid underwent emergency surgery Thursday after being diagnosed with appendicitis. The 76ers said Embiid's recovery will be managed by team physicians and his surgeon.
With Embiid out, the 76ers lost 113-102 to the Rockets on Thursday and sit in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with two games to play (at Pacers on Friday, vs. Bucks on Sunday).
