Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid will reportedly miss Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to left hip soreness, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

It marks the first time this season Embiid will miss a game. Through 14 games, he's averaging 31.9 points, 11.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game.

The severity of Embiid's injury is unknown. He was able to play 41 minutes during Tuesday's overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, so it's possible the 76ers want to get him some rest on the second night of a back-to-back.
