Bill Self confirms Joel Embiid won't play the first two games of NCAA Tournament

Kansas Jayhawks Bill Self confirmed that big man Joel Embiid will miss at least the first two games of the NCAA Tournament.

Per Kansascity.com, “He’s not going to play,” Self said. “I’m not saying there couldn’t be a miraculous act occur, but we’re certainly not planning on that or expecting that.”
Self said Embiid has continued to make progress in his rehab, but he has yet to get back out on the practice floor.
“He’s doing really well,” Self said. “We’ve told him that we were not going to put him on the practice floor until he does really, really well in rehab. And that’s what the doctors told us, and that’s what we were going to do all along.
“He’s not far away from being out there in some form or fashion, but probably not contact.”
