Yep “while a treatment plan is finalised” sounds like weeks out for Embiid.
Ligaments don't really get better, the swelling will go down, you'll strengthen around if, but the ligaments stays torn until they need surgery. It's only a matter of time now.
West: Injury replacements are Markkanen and Fox/Murray.
Jokic
KD
LeBron
SGA
Luka
AD
Kawhi
George
Edwards
Sabonis
Curry
Booker
East: Injury replacements are Trae and Randle.
Embiid
Giannis
Tatum
Dame
Haliburton
Mitchell
Maxey
Barnes
Porzingis
Brunson
Wagner
Adebayo
I only missed one (KAT for Sabonis) in the West. Didn't even have KAT as a replacement.
Mixed up Banchero and Wagner and it was a coin flip for me, but Banchero is the bigger name so that's fine. I also thought it would be between Porzingis and Brown for the second Celtic and picked KP because he's more important to their success. I'm a little surprised by Barnes being left off.
I think there will be at least one injury replacement in the West (probably Kawhi) and the Kings will get one of their guys in. We already know Randle is out so I'll guess Trae Young gets his spot since Silver makes the selection and Trae is a lot more fun to watch in an ASG than someone like KP or Barnes.

Trae should make it. Wish the Hawks were better. Also think it really sucks for Kings fans not having Fox or Sabonis there.
