WASHINGTON: NBA scoring champion Joel Embiid is doubtful to play in Monday's (Tuesday in Manila) opening game of Philadelphia's second-round playoff series against Boston on Monday, 76ers coach Doc Rivers said on Saturday.

The 29-year-old Cameroonian 7-footer (2.13m) suffered a sprained right knee in game three of the 76ers' sweep over Brooklyn in their best-of-seven first-round series.
