PHILADEPLHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James will sit out Thursday night against Toronto because of low back/sciatica management.

Sixers center Joel Embiid remained questionable with right foot plantar fascia injury management.

James, who turns 42 next month, will now have four to five days off before he plays again. The Sixers are off Friday and Saturday. They have back-to-back games Sunday and Monday. James typically does not play in least one game of a back-to-back set so he could return Sunday against Indiana or Monday at Brooklyn.

James has averaged 15.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists in 10 games for the Sixers this season.

The Raptors will play again without Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Scottie Barnes (groin).
