NBA News Update: Embiid Out for Season, Clippers' Moves & Lakers vs. Clippers Recap

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has been officially ruled out for the rest of the season due to

ongoing knee issues.

The 2023 MVP had been struggling with injuries all year, and after consulting with specialists, the team decided

to shut him down.

This is a huge blow for the 76ers, who are already on a nine-game losing streak and now

face an uncertain future.

Embiid may require another surgery, and his long-term health remains a major concern.

The LA Clippers have signed two-way guard Jordan Miller to a four-year, $8.3 million contract.

Miller has been a standout in the G League and now gets a full-time spot on the roster.

To make room, the Clippers waived forward MarJon Beauchamp, who had been averaging just 2.2 points per game.

This move signals the Clippers' focus on developing young talent as they push for a strong playoff run.

The Lakers defeated the Clippers 106-102, but the biggest story was Ben Simmons' underwhelming performance.

Simmons played 16 minutes, scoring just two points with three rebounds and three assists.

Fans on social media were ruthless, with one saying, 'Ben Simmons is just a live body on the

floor.' Others compared him to Chuck Hayes, questioning his impact on the game.

Meanwhile, LeBron James, at 40 years old, dropped 28 points, proving he’s still dominant.
