76ers big man Joel Embiid's status is unclear for Saturday's game against the Warriors after suffering a rib injury in the previous contest. He told reporters after the game that he "started not breathing right. So I needed to check it out."

Embiid, who's averaging 24.1 points per game this season, has poured in at least 28 in three of the last four. Andre Iguodala is questionable to play Saturday in Philadelphia. He hasn't played since Nov. 18.
Elsewhere, Bulls first-year guard Alex Caruso is questionable for a big-time, regular-season showdown against Miami. Rookie Ayo Dosunmu has seen roughly 76 minutes across the last two contests with the former Laker sidelined. In the same contest, Heat sharpshooter Duncan Robinson (Quad) is questionable to suit up.
Paul George will miss his second game in a row with an elbow injury.
