Joel Embiid Injury News & Updates

Embiid (knee) is available and starting Sunday's game against the Lakers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid will return to the lineup after missing Friday's game due to left knee injury management. Embiid has made just two appearances since Nov. 9, averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 blocks in 27.5 minutes per contest in those games.

Embiid (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Embiid wasn't seen at Sunday's morning shootaround, though he's now likely to play against the Lakers. The Sixers continue to manage the star big man's availability due to a left knee issue, and he has appeared in just two games since Nov. 9. Through eight regular-season appearances, Embiid has averaged 18.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.4 blocks across 24.4 minutes per contest.

Embiid (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers, was not seen at the 76ers' portion of their morning shootaround that is open to the media, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid is at risk of hitting the sidelines for the third time in a four-game span, and his status will be worth monitoring ahead of tipoff at 7:30 p.m. ET. If the star center is held out of Sunday's contest, Andre Drummond, Adem Bona and Dominick Barlow are candidates for increased playing time. Embiid has appeared in just two games since Nov. 9, during which he has averaged 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 27.5 minutes per tilt.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Embiid missed Friday's game against the Bucks for the second leg of a back-to-back set, but the star big man is going to be a regular on the injury report as he continues to battle soreness in his knees. If Embiid is unable to suit up, Andre Drummond is likely to absorb the bulk of the center minutes Sunday.

Embiid (injury management) won't play in Friday's game against the Bucks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid will get the night off for the closing end of Philadelphia's back-to-back set. The star center has been battling a knee injury throughout the entirety of the season, and he's played in just eight games as a result. Andre Drummond, Adem Bona and Dominick Barlow should handle center duties Friday. Embiid's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Lakers.

Embiid finished Thursday's 99-98 win over the Warriors with 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 25 minutes.

Initially listed as doubtful for Thursday's game, Embiid returned to action and saw a decent workload in the win. He was struggling to find his rhythm, however, and that's to be expected given how little he's actually seen the floor this season. The 76ers face the Bucks on Friday for the second leg of a back-to-back set, and it's highly unlikely that Embiid suits up.

Embiid (knee) is listed as available for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Embiid was initially listed as doubtful for Thursday's game but was bumped to questionable after going through shootaround, and now, he has been cleared to play. This is the first half of a back-to-back set, and given Embiid's history with his knees, fantasy managers can expect him to sit in Friday's matchup

Embiid (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid was previously listed as doubtful, but the big man may attempt to give it a go. Paul George (knee) has been ruled out, so that may have factored into the decision. Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so Embiid playing in one of these games would be the best-case scenario for his fantasy managers with his restrictions.

Embiid (knee) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Philadelphia gave Embiid the night off for right knee injury management Tuesday against the Wizards, and he'll likely sit for a second straight time Thursday. It's possible the 76ers are preparing for him to play in the second leg of this back-to-back set Friday against the Bucks, but nothing is set in stone given his troublesome injury history. Andre Drummond is likely going to be relied upon heavily Thursday.

Embiid (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Philadelphia is giving Embiid the night off for right knee injury management. The superstar big man's next chance to return is Thursday against Golden State. With Andre Drummond (knee) questionable, Adem Bona could be in line for a huge role at center.

Embiid (knee) registered 18 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 30 minutes in Sunday's 142-134 double-overtime loss to the Hawks.

Making just his seventh appearance of the season after missing the 76ers' prior nine games due to right knee injury management, Embiid surprisingly ended up seeing his most minutes of the campaign. The 76ers may have planned to keep Embiid closer to his season-long average of 23.3 minutes per game heading into Sunday, but the two extra periods likely contributed to him seeing some extra run. The 76ers did still elect to hold Embiid out for the entire second overtime period, and the veteran center remains likely to have his minutes monitored carefully moving forward, even though he's ostensibly healthy again. Embiid is also a good bet to continue sitting out one half of back-to-back sets, with the 76ers' next one coming Thursday (versus Warriors) and Friday (at Bucks).

Embiid (knee) will start Sunday's contest against the Hawks, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Embiid missed the last nine games due to a lingering knee injury, but he will return to the lineup Sunday. In six appearances this season, Embiid holds averages of 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 23.3 minutes per game.

Embiid (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Embiid was initially listed as out for Sunday's contest, though he now has a chance to return from a nine-game absence due to a lingering right knee injury. If the star big man is ultimately cleared to play, he'll likely face heavy restrictions following the absence. In six regular-season appearances, Embiid has averaged 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 23.3 minutes per contest.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid remains on the shelf due to a lingering right knee injury and will miss his 10th consecutive contest Sunday. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Wizards. With the star big man sidelined, Adem Bona and Dominick Barlow will likely see a significant bump in minutes, especially if Andre Drummond (knee) is ultimately downgraded from questionable to out.

Embiid (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Nets.

Embiid is working his way back from a knee injury, but Friday's game against the Nets comes too soon for the star big man. Embiid has been limited to individual and conditioning work earlier this week, so it seems he might have to clear a few more hurdles before being cleared to play. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Hawks.

Embiid (knee) was limited to an individual strength and conditioning session Wednesday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

It's not a great sign that Embiid was held out of Wednesday's practice, as he previously participated with the team in recent days. Embiid missed Tuesday's game against Orlando despite going through shootaround, marking his eighth straight game on the sidelines. He can be considered highly questionable for Friday against the Nets.

Embiid (knee) will not play Tuesday against Orlando.

Despite going through shootaround, Embiid was unable to shake his questionable tag and will sit out for an eighth straight contest. His next chance to play comes Friday against the Nets. Andre Drummond will remain a must-start fantasy asset in the meantime.

Embiid (knee) participated at Tuesday's morning shootaround, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid is currently listed as questionable to face the Magic on Tuesday. He has missed the past seven games for the 76ers, but he's trending towards a return. If he does get the green light to play against the Magic, he's likely to have strict restrictions.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

The superstar big man has a chance to return from a seven-game absence due to knee injury management. Embiid was a full participant in Monday's practice, per Aaronson, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up. Although Embiid will likely have a minutes restriction if he plays, his presence would almost certainly push Andre Drummond back to the bench.

Embiid (knee) will remain on the inactive list for Sunday's game versus the Heat, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Sunday will mark Embiid's sixth straight game on the sidelines, and while the 76ers continue to say that he's making progress, his potential return date remains murky. Andre Drummond and Dominick Barlow will continue to hold down the fort at the center spot in Embiid's absence.

Embiid continues to progress in his recovery from a right knee injury and remains day-to-day, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid has missed the 76ers' last six games due to right knee soreness. It seems like he's inching closer to a return, though it doesn't appear likely that will take place Sunday against the Heat. With Embiid and Adem Bona (ankle) sidelined, Andre Drummond, Trendon Watford and Dominick Barlow will continue to see the majority of minutes at the center position.

Embiid (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

There was some optimism Embiid could play Thursday after he practiced Tuesday, but the 76ers are continuing to hold him out. The expectation is that the superstar big man will continue to be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. With Embiid out, Andre Drummond remains worth holding in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

Embiid (knee) has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

No surprise here, as the 76ers previously listed the center as doubtful. This will be his fifth straight game on the shelf, but he has logged a couple practices with the team which means a return in the near future could be on the table. His status for Thursday's game against the Bucks remains in the air.

Embiid (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

Despite going through Tuesday's practice, the superstar big man is likely to miss a fifth consecutive game. The 76ers could have an eye toward clearing Embiid for Thursday's matchup with Milwaukee, though he should be deemed highly questionable for that one. Andre Drummond remains worth rostering in the majority of fantasy formats for Wednesday.

Embiid (knee) went through Tuesday's practice, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Coach Nick Nurse didn't go into details about Embiid, so fantasy managers will have to wait until the official injury report is released Tuesday night to gauge his status for Wednesday against the Raptors. Embiid has missed the past four games for the 76ers, but he's been practicing with the team since Sunday and appears to be moving in the right direction.

Embiid (knee) will not play Monday against the Clippers.

Embiid will be sidelined for a fourth straight game, but his return could be on the horizon -- Embiid was a full participant at Sunday's practice. With Adem Bona (ankle) also sidelined, Andre Drummond is likely to see a significant workload against the Clippers.

Embiid (knee) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid is trending in the right direction following a three-game absence due to a right knee issue. The Sixers are expected to provide an update on the star big man's status for Monday's game against the Clippers by Sunday night. If Embiid joins Adem Bona (ankle) on the sidelines Monday, Andre Drummond, Dominick Barlow and Trendon Watford are candidates for increased minutes.

Embiid (knee) will remain on the sidelines for Friday's game in Detroit.

Embiid is still being listed as day-to-day after further testing revealed no structural damage, but the fact that he required testing and is now set to miss his third straight game is concerning. Andre Drummond should continue to start in his absence with Adem Bona operating as his backup. Embiid's next chance to play will come Monday at home against the Clippers.

Embiid (knee) doesn't have structural issues in his right knee and is listed as day-to-day, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid didn't play in Tuesday's comeback win over the Celtics, but the fact that he doesn't have structural issues is a huge sign of relief for the franchise. The day-to-day status means Embiid might have a chance to return when the Sixers take on the Pistons on Friday, but his progress in the coming days will ultimately determine when he'll be ready to return to the court. Andre Drummond is expected to start at center until Embiid is ready to return to the lineup.

Embiid (knee) won't play Tuesday against the Celtics, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Embiid wasn't initially on the injury report, but the 76ers will hold him out for knee soreness. His next chance to play comes Friday against Detroit. In the meantime, the 76ers will likely lean on Andre Drummond and Adem Bona.

Embiid (rest) is off the 76ers' injury report for Tuesday's game against Boston.

After sitting out Sunday's loss to the Pistons -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- Embiid will return to action against the Celtics. The star big man has yet to log more than 26 minutes in a game through six regular-season appearances, during which he has averaged 19.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 23.3 minutes per contest. He has recorded shooting splits of 46.0/32.1/82.9 so far this season.

Embiid (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Embiid will sit out the second half of the 76ers' back-to-back Sunday as part of his ongoing left knee management after posting 29 points in Saturday's win over the Raptors. The star center is likely to be available for the team's next matchup Tuesday against the Celtics.

Embiid logged 29 points (10-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block over 26 minutes during the 76ers' 130-120 win over the Raptors on Saturday.

Embiid was cleared to play in Saturday's game after missing two of Philadelphia's last three contests for rest purposes. The big man continues to have his minutes restricted early on in the regular season, but he made the most of his on-court time with an efficient performance from the field to finish as the game's second-leading scorer behind teammate Tyrese Maxey (31). Embiid is unlikely to play in the second leg of the 76ers' back-to-back set against the Pistons on Sunday, so Adem Bona and Andre Drummond should absorb most of the center minutes against Detroit.

Embiid (rest) will be available to play Saturday against the Raptors, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com

Embiid missed the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday for load management, but he'll be back in action Saturday night, which should shift Adem Bona back to the second unit. After Saturday's game, the 76ers play again Sunday, so Embiid will likely be missing that one.

Embiid (rest) will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Embiid, who produced 20 points (7-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three steals and four blocks in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 113-111 loss to the Bulls, will expectedly miss the second leg of this back-to-back set for rest. With Embiid sidelined, Adam Bona and Andre Drummond will likely soak up the bulk of the center minutes.

Embiid tallied 20 points (7-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three steals and four blocks in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 113-111 loss to the Bulls.

Embiid was held out of Sunday's matchup for rest purposes and looked strong throughout Tuesday's clash. After a sluggish first game of the new campaign, he's followed through with four straight games of scoring 20 or more points. Embiid's production has also been decent in other areas as well, averaging 5.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.6 blocks in five appearances this season.

Embiid (rest) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Embiid sat out Sunday against the Nets, but the stage is set for his return. That said, the 76ers have a short turnaround Wednesday against Cleveland, so it's possible another maintenance day is around the corner for Embiid. The superstar center has averaged 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 blocks per contest in four games this season, failing to exceed 25 minutes in any outing.

Embiid (injury recovery) will not play Sunday against the Nets.

Sunday's game is not part of a back-to-back set, but the 76ers will continue to err on the side of caution with their franchise center. The 76ers have a back-to-back set coming up Tuesday and Wednesday, and it's safe to assume Embiid will miss one of those as well. In Embiid's absence, the 76ers will likely rely on Adem Bona and Andre Drummond.

Embiid produced 20 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four turnovers in 25 minutes during Friday's 109-108 loss to the Celtics.

This was a season-high in minutes for Embiid, who has looked a little better with each game this season. He did take an elbow to the face from Derrick White, but he was able to play through it, so that shouldn't be something that impacts his status for Sunday's game in Brooklyn.

Embiid provided 25 points (9-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 139-134 overtime victory over Washington.

Embiid logged 23 minutes in the win, an encouraging sign for anyone rostering him. His production also increased, scoring a season-high 25 points. Despite being clearly hampered by his ongoing knee concerns, Embiid once again proved that he can be a valuable contributor. It appears his lack of mobility and elevation could limit what he can do on the defensive end, meaning he is unlikely to push for first-round fantasy value at this point in his career.

Embiid (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

After sitting out the front end of the back-to-back set Monday against Orlando, Embiid is no longer showing up on the injury report. He fared well in his last outing against the Hornets with 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 20 minutes, so it will be interesting to see if he's given a few more minutes this time around.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic.

Embiid will sit out the first leg of the 76ers' back-to-back to manage his left knee, positioning him to potentially return for Tuesday's matchup with the Wizards. In his absence Monday, Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will share duties at center.

Embiid finished Saturday's 125-121 victory over the Hornets with 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 20 minutes.

Following a four-point outing (1-9 FG, 0-4 3PM, 2-2 FT) in the season opener, Joel Embiid bounced back with 20 points on an efficient 7-for-11 from the field. The 31-year-old has played 20 minutes in each of the Sixers' first two contests to start the year, and it's no surprise the team is taking a cautious approach with their star center. He's expected to suit up for Monday's home tilt against Orlando.

Embiid was held to just four points (1-9 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 win over Boston.

Embiid looked very rusty out there, as he opened the game with four straight misses and bricked all four of his 3-point attempts. Some rust is to be expected given that he wasn't able to suit up until the final game of the preseason, so he'll likely get off to a slow start this season as he's eased back into things with some minutes restrictions.

Head coach Nick Nurse said Embiid will have a minutes restriction during the 76ers' season opener Wednesday, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

After playing in only 19 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign, Embiid will be closely monitored when the team's season gets underway on Wednesday. The coaching staff is taking a cautious approach with the often-injured superstar big man.

Embiid registered 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 19 minutes during Friday's 126-110 win over Minnesota.

Embiid was cleared to make his preseason debut Friday after finishing up rehab on his left knee. He didn't disappoint, as he managed to contribute across the board, falling just two assists shy of a double-double. Embiid nearly reached the 20-minute threshold in Philly's final matchup of the preseason, so while the team has yet to comment on whether he'll be limited to begin the regular season, it's a positive sign that he was able to go this long in his first taste of game action since Feb. 22.

Embiid (knee) will make his preseason debut Friday against the Timberwolves, according to NBA reporter Chris Haynes.

Embiid scrimmaged Sunday and drew a lot of positive reviews from coaches and players. He has continued to ramp up his rehab at recent practices, though he did get a planned maintenance day Thursday. Given the circumstances, it's likely that Embiid is eased back into action with a modest workload.

Embiid (knee) had a planned off day at Thursday's practice, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid (knee) participated in "most" of Wednesday's practice, and then sat out Thursday by design. He was able to get in a full scrimmage Sunday, and he's been drawing rave reviews from the media in recent days on how he looks. For now, his status for Friday's preseason finale against Minnesota remains in the air.

Embiid (knee) participated in "most" of Wednesday's practice, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

This isn't a substantial update by any means, as Embiid has been participating in several practices lately. Embiid was a full participant at Sunday's scrimmage, and it sounds like his knee continues to respond well to the increased workloads. On Tuesday, coach Nick Nurse didn't rule Embiid out from making an appearance in Friday's exhibition against Minnesota.

76ers coach Nick Nurse said Tuesday that Embiid (knee) has a chance to play in Friday's final preseason game against the Timberwolves, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Nurse said there are still some thresholds Embiid needs to get past in order to get on the floor, but he's trending in the right direction. Embiid was a full participant at Sunday's scrimmage, and by most accounts, he had a really strong showing. It's looking increasingly likely that Embiid is ready by Opening Night.

Embiid (knee) was a full participant at Sunday's scrimmage, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

According to Krell, "Embiid played quite a bit and looked like his old self." He also noted that Embiid's body language was positive, and there's been several glowing reports about how he fared in the scrimmage. This was certainly a huge step in the right direction for Embiid's rehab. It remains to be seen if he'll participate in Friday's exhibition against the Timberwolves.

Embiid (knee) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Magic, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid has been spotted going through five-on-five drills, but the big man has yet to suit up during preseason action. His last chance for game action before the regular season begins will be Friday, Oct. 17, against the Timberwolves. It's also unclear when Paul George (knee), Jared McCain (thumb) and Quentin Grimes (personal) will be ready for game action, but VJ Edgecombe (hip) is considered day-to-day.

Embiid (knee) participated in Wednesday's practice, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Wednesday's practice contained some five-on-five drills, so this is an encouraging update for the 76ers and for Embiid's prospective fantasy managers. He does not have a concrete timetable to return, but this is certainly a step in the right direction. For now, there's no word if Embiid will feature in the preseason.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid continues to recover from knee surgery that cut his 2024-25 campaign short. There's no clear timetable for his return to the floor. The next chance for him to return will be Oct. 10 against the Magic.

Embiid (knee) is not available for Thursday's preseason game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

This is no real surprise, as Embiid did not come into camp at 100 percent health. He did get in a full practice Saturday, but the center has not committed to a timetable yet. It remains to be seen if or when he'll step on the floor for preseason action.

Head coach Nick Nurse said Embiid (knee) participated "quite a bit" in practice Saturday, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

After playing in only 19 regular-season games with the team last season, Embiid's status for the 2025-26 campaign has been uncertain regarding his timetable for return to the floor. However, this is a good sign for the one-time NBA MVP, as there's a chance he could return sooner rather than later.

During Friday's Media Day, Embiid (knee) said he's not ready to put a timetable on his return, Chris Mannix of SI.com reports.

Embiid said he feels "pretty good" and that's "made a lot of progress," but he'll continue to take things day-by-day. Embiid underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in April, and while several reports indicated that he would be ready for training camp, it sounds like he's going to be limited to open the camp. As for his goal in 2025-26, Embiid said he wants to position himself to "play consistently." His health is going to be a hot topic for the next few weeks leading up to Opening Night.

Embiid is participating in live drills for the start of training camp.

Embiid had resumed partial basketball activities as of mid-July, and it's encouraging to see him on the floor engaging in basketball activities ahead of the preseason. Team president Daryl Morey has previously said the superstar big man was "on track" to be recovered from arthroscopic left knee surgery in time for training camp, though the 76ers have not yet officially cleared him for Opening Night. Fantasy managers should continue to treat Embiid as a high-risk, high-reward proposition in drafts.

Embiid (knee) has resumed partial basketball activities, per Tony Jones of The Athletic.

Although Embiid still hasn't progressed to full on-court basketball activities yet, the 76ers remain hopeful that he'll be cleared to suit up for the start of the 2025-26 season. Team president Daryl Morey also says the superstar big man is "on track" to be recovered from arthroscopic left knee surgery ahead of training camp this fall, which is a promising sign. If Embiid ends up being limited in any capacity to open the new campaign, Philadelphia would likely to turn to the likes of Adem Bona, Andre Drummond (toe) and Trendon Watford to soak up extra minutes at center.

Embiid (knee) is planning to be "ready to go" for camp, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in April, and he's been progressing well in his recovery. The expectation is that the 31-year-old will be ready to go for training camp. Even though Embiid should be fully recovered ahead of the 2025-26 season, the 76ers could ease him back into game action considering he appeared in 58 combined games over his last two seasons.

The 76ers announced Friday that Embiid underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Wednesday, and he will be re-evaluated in approximately six weeks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season, and the 76ers have been eliminated from playoff contention. However, after an injury-plagued 2024-25 campaign in which Embiid was only able to make 19 appearances, the superstar big man appears to be on track to begin his recovery ahead of next season.

Embiid will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee next week, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After being ruled out for the rest of the season in late February, Embiid met with team doctors to decide on a treatment plan for his lingering left knee injury. After several weeks of consultations and tests, surgery was determined to be the best course of action. Embiid will be re-evaluated six weeks after the procedure, per Charania, but it will be Embiid's second surgery on that left knee over the past 14 months. While he is expected to fully recover from the procedure, there are no guarantees that the former NBA MVP will fully recover by the start of the 2025-26 season. Embiid appeared in just 19 games this season and averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 0.9 blocks over 30.2 minutes per game, and his 44.4 percent field-goal shooting was the lowest of his nine-year NBA career.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the season by the 76ers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Embiid has been managing a left knee issue all season and has been shut down for the rest of the year. The one-time NBA MVP showed flashes of his dominant form over the course of the 2024-25 campaign for Philadelphia but simply couldn't stay on the floor consistently, resulting in the team ruling him out for the remaining 24 regular-season games. Andre Drummond and Guershon Yabusele will likely see a significant boost in minutes with the superstar big man on the mend.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Golden State, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid will miss his third consecutive contest due to the left knee injury, and his next chance to play will come Monday against Portland. However, the star big man was held out of Friday's practice, which bodes poorly for his return to game action by Monday. Embiid has appeared in only eight outings since Jan. 1, averaging 23.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 0.9 blocks across 31.5 minutes per contest.

Embiid (knee) did not participate in Friday's practice, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid has missed the club's last two outings due to the left knee injury, and his absence from practices does not bode well for his status ahead of Saturday's game against the Warriors. The Sixers are expected to update the star big man's status Friday afternoon, though he can be considered questionable at best for Saturday's contest until then. Embiid has appeared in only eight games since Jan. 1, averaging 23.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 0.9 blocks across 31.5 minutes per contest.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid will miss a second straight game Wednesday for the 76ers, as he continues to manage his left knee issues. Along with the superstar big man, Guerschon Yabusele (eye) will also miss this game against New York, which makes Philadelphia shorthanded in the frontcourt once again. Andre Drummond will likely have to shoulder the load in the paint against Karl-Anthony Towns and company.

Embiid (knee) will not play Monday against the Bulls, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Fantasy managers probably saw this one coming. Embiid was previously listed as questionable, but the franchise is likely to be very cautious going forward. According to Charania, the 76ers are consulting with doctors and specialists to determine the next steps for his recovery after he underwent additional imaging Monday. In the meantime, guys like Guerschon Yabusele and Andre Drummond could see increased roles for the 76ers.

Embiid (knee) and the 76ers are consulting doctors and considering alternative options for his injured knee, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Embiid, who has played just 19 games this season as he continues to manage a left knee injury, is now considering alternative options after current load management efforts and injections have not led to the desired improvements. Since returning from the All-Star break, Embiid has totaled 15 or fewer points in back-to-back games for the first time in nearly four years, and reportedly experienced swelling in his left knee following Saturday's loss to the Nets. Although listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Bulls, considering the repeated swelling in his knee and the proven ineffectiveness of current treatment methods, it wouldn't be shocking to see Embiid shut down for an extended period.

Coach Nick Nurse said Embiid (knee) didn't practice Sunday and is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

In two games since the All-Star break, Embiid has totaled 29 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists in 58 minutes. He hasn't scored more than 30 points since Dec. 30 and has made only eight appearances since then. If Embiid is sidelined again, Guerschon Yabusele and Andre Drummond are candidates for increased roles.

Embiid recorded 14 points (4-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block over 31 minutes during Saturday's 105-103 loss to the Nets.

It was a poor showing by Embiid, who struggled for the second consecutive game after scoring just 15 points in Thursday's loss to Boston. Although the superstar big man has been productive with averages of 22.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers in 32.0 minutes over his last six appearances, he's shooting just 42.7 percent from the floor and 25.0 percent from deep during this span. The 20-36 76ers are running out of time to make a serious playoff push in 2024-25, which could play a part in determining how much maintenance Embiid might get to rest his balky left knee down the stretch of the campaign.

Embiid (knee) recorded 15 points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four assists and three rebounds across 27 minutes in Thursday's 124-104 loss to the Celtics.

Embiid was held out of the 76ers' final game prior to the All-Star break Feb. 12 in Brooklyn due to left knee injury management, but he made his return to action for the team's first contest of the second half. Aside from cleaning up at the free-throw line, Embiid wasn't able to get much going offensively in the blowout loss, with his 33.3 percent mark from the field representing his third-worst shooting performance of the season. Shortly before the All-Star break, Embiid told Lisa Salters of ESPN that he might require another surgery on his left knee, but the 30-year-old appears set to continue playing even though he clearly hasn't been in top form this season. The 76ers will likely give Embiid frequent maintenance, and fantasy managers shouldn't count on him playing both legs of back-to-back set at any point this season.

Embiid (knee) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Celtics.

Prior to the NBA All-Star break, Embiid didn't play in the loss to the Nets in Brooklyn. However, he will return to the floor when the final stretch of the 2024-25 campaign resumes Thursday against the defending NBA champions. The superstar big man has played well as of late, scoring 27 or more points in three of the last four games for Philadelphia, including a 29-point triple-double in the Feb. 4 win against the Mavericks.

Embiid (injury management) will not play Wednesday against the Nets.

No surprise here, as Embiid will be held out for maintenance on the second leg of this back-to-back set. During Tuesday's loss to Toronto, Embiid recorded 27 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-13 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes. Guerschon Yabusele is likely to see the bulk of the center minutes Wednesday with Andre Drummond backing him up.

Embiid recorded 27 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-13 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 loss to the Raptors.

Embiid carried the scoring load for the 76ers on Tuesday in a game that saw Tyrese Maxey miss on all but one of his nine field-goal attempts. Embiid set the tone for Philadelphia with 17 first-half points and his aggressiveness paid off with 13 free-throw attempts. However, Tuesday's game will be remembered for Embiid passing up a wide-open, go-ahead three, instead opting to drive to the hoop and turning the ball over in the process. Embiid will likely be held out of Wednesday's game against the Nets in a continuing effort to manage a lingering left knee injury.

Embiid (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid will suit up in his third consecutive contest while the club manages his playing time due to a left knee injury. The superstar big man is suiting up in the first leg of the club's back-to-back set, meaning he'll likely sit out of Wednesday's game against the Nets. Over his last three outings, Embiid has averaged 26.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 blocks across 32.0 minutes per contest.

Embiid (injury management) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto.

Tuesday's game is the first leg of a back-to-back set, so it's widely expected that Embiid will play in one game at most -- the 76ers will travel to Brooklyn on Wednesday for their last game before the All-Star break. If Embiid sits out Tuesday, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele could benefit from a fantasy perspective.

Embiid had 27 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 loss to the Bucks.

Embiid posted his sixth outing with a double-double or better through just 16 regular-season appearances. The Sixers have been managing the superstar big man's playing time throughout the season due to concerns with his left knee, and Embiid said Sunday that he believes "It will likely take another surgery and a long recovery period" to get his knee on the right track, per Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com. The club will likely continue to limit the 30-year-old on back-to-back sets at the very least, and his status will be something to monitor closely moving forward.

Embiid (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid will shake off a questionable tag due to left knee injury management and suit up Sunday. The superstar big man has appeared in two of the club's last three outing while the Sixers manage his playing time, amassing 52 points (19-41 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 12-19 FT), 18 rebounds, 16 assists, two blocks and one steal across 66 total minutes. There's no indication that the 30-year-old will operate under a minutes restriction.

Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid has played in two of the 76ers' last three games, but he's iffy to play Sunday due to left knee injury management. Guerschon Yabusele is on track to return from a one-game absence due to right knee soreness, and he and Andre Drummond would see an uptick in playing time if Embiid is held out of Sunday's contest.

Embiid finished Friday's 125-112 loss to the Pistons with 23 points (7-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 30 minutes.

Embiid was limited to just three points in the first half as the 76ers found themselves down by as many as 34 points. The former MVP came out firing out of halftime, scoring 20 points in the third quarter while going 6-for-8 from the field, though he wasn't able to carry that momentum into the fourth quarter. Embiid has played in two of the Sixers' last three games, and how his left knee responds over the next couple of days will determine whether he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Embiid (knee) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Pistons.

After missing 16 of the last 17 games for the 76ers, Embiid did not appear on the injury report for Philadelphia, making him available to play Friday in Detroit. In his first game back from the extended absence, the one-time NBA MVP recorded a triple-double in Tuesday's win against the Mavericks, finishing with 29 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal. This is a promising sign for the team, as the superstar big man might be back to form quicker than anticipated.

Embiid tallied 29 points (10-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 118-116 win over the Mavericks. However, the superstar center won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Heat due to left knee injury management, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Embiid returned to action Tuesday after missing Philadelphia's previous 15 outings due to his knee injury. While coach Nick Nurse said he would only play around 30 minutes, the former MVP logged a season-high 36 minutes in the narrow victory. Embiid's season-high 11 assists also helped him record his first triple-double of the year. However, Embiid will sit out the second leg of the 76ers' back-to-back Wednesday.

Embiid (knee) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

After missing the last 15 games for the 76ers, Embiid will return to the floor Wednesday against Dallas. According to Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com, head coach Nick Nurse will manage the superstar big man's workload Tuesday, keeping his time on the floor to 30 minutes.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

After going through Monday's practice, Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday following a 15-game absence due to left knee injury management. Should the superstar big man need to miss another contest, Guerschon Yabusele would continue to hold down the fort in the middle for the 76ers, as Andre Drummond (toe) is also uncertain to play.

Embiid (knee) participated in Monday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

The 76ers had a positive day, as everyone on the team practiced apart from Jared McCain (knee). Head coach Nick Nurse said over the weekend that Embiid could return to the lineup by the end of this current week, and his participation Monday is another positive step in the right direction.

Head coach Nick Nurse said that he's optimistic that Embiid (knee) will return to the 76ers lineup by the end of the week after the big man completed an on-court workout Saturday, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Embiid hasn't played since Jan. 4 while managing continued discomfort in the left knee he had surgically repaired last February, missing 15 straight games in the process. Assuming he experienced no renewed pain following Saturday's workout, Embiid should continue to ramp up throughout the week before a clearer date for his return emerges. Based on Nurse's comments, Embiid can likely be ruled out for both ends of the 76ers' Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set versus the Mavericks and Heat, respectively, but a return to action Friday in Detroit could be more realistic.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Embiid continues to progress in his recovery from a left knee injury, but he has not been cleared to play Sunday and will miss his 15th straight game as a result. It's unclear whether Embiid will be given the green light to play against the Mavericks on Tuesday. With Embiid sidelined, Guerschon Yabusele will likely continue to start at center unless Andre Drummond (toe) is able to play.

Embiid (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Nuggets.

Embiid will miss his 14th straight contest Friday due to a left knee injury. With Andre Drummond (toe) also out, Guerschon Yabusele should continue to start at center. Embiid's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Boston.

Embiid (knee) will miss Tuesday's game against the Lakers and Wednesday's game against the Kings, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid's knee has "responded well to treatment" and he was able to go through a partial practice Monday, Neubeck adds. The 76ers will continue to take a cautious approach, however. For now, fantasy managers should consider Embiid questionable to return for Friday's home game versus Denver.

Embiid will have his left knee re-evaluated in 7-10 days due to swelling, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After missing the last six games for the 76ers, Embiid will miss some time to rest his ailing left knee, which the team will re-evaluate in seven to 10 days. This is another costly blow for Philadelphia, as the superstar big man seemed to be back to form when healthy. Guerschon Yabusele will have to continue shouldering the load in the frontcourt for the time being, along with Andre Drummond (toe) when he returns from his injury.

Embiid (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Knicks.

This will be Embiid's sixth game in a row on the shelf. This update comes from the official injury report, so there's no word on his progress. Previously, the 76ers have reported that the center remains day-to-day. Guerschon Yabusele is likely to continue seeing big workloads in the meantime.

The 76ers announced Tuesday that Embiid (foot) is still deemed day-to-day, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder, which will mark his fifth straight absence due to a left foot strain. However, it appears that the superstar big man isn't expected to be sidelined for a significant period, with his next opportunity to return to action being Wednesday's matchup with the Knicks.

Embiid (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to a left foot sprain, and his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Knicks. With the superstar big man and Andre Drummond (toe) both sidelined, Guerschon Yabusele should remain in the starting five.

Embiid (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Despite being tagged as day-to-day due to a left foot sprain, Embiid will miss his fourth straight game Sunday, and his next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against the Thunder. Guerschon Yabusele should remain in the 76ers' starting lineup for a fifth straight game due to Embiid and Andre Drummond (toe) both being out.

Embiid (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic.

Embiid has missed the past three games for the 76ers, but coach Nick Nurse said Friday that the big man remains day-to-day. He did seem hopeful to have him back for Sunday's game, however. Andre Drummond (toe) has already been ruled out, so Guerschon Yabusele could see extended run if Embiid is unable to return.

Head coach Nick Nurse still considers Joel Embiid "day-to-day" with his left foot sprain, and hopes that he will be able to play in the 76ers' next game, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid will miss his third consecutive game Friday due to injury and 23rd overall this season. The team hopes to have him back Sunday against the Magic, but his return likely won't be confirmed until closer to gameday.

Embiid (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Embiid will miss a third straight game due to a sprained left foot injury. Before missing the last two games, the veteran big man recorded back-to-back double-doubles in a loss to the Warriors and a win over the Nets. The 76ers will be shorthanded in the frontcourt against the Pelicans, with Andre Drummond (toe) also out for this game, meaning Guerschon Yabusele will likely get extended minutes.

Embiid (foot) participated in Thursday's practice, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid returned to practice Thursday after missing Philadelphia's previous two outings due to a sprained left foot. The superstar big man's participation in practice is a good sign of his availability against New Orleans on Friday.

Embiid (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Wizards.

Embiid is battling a left foot sprain and was unable to practice Tuesday. It's not a good sign that Embiid is being ruled out 24 hours in advance, and he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans. Andre Drummond (toe) is questionable for Wednesday, so Guerschon Yabusele could be asked to log extended minutes in the frontcourt.

Embiid (foot/nose) did not practice Tuesday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid was held out of Monday's game against the Suns and remains day-to-day. Missing a practice is par for the course for Embiid as the 76ers attempt to manage his workload. There will be more clarity on his status for Wednesday's game against the Wizards when the 76ers release their injury report, but it's likely that he will be listed as questionable.

Embiid (foot/nose) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Suns, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid will miss Monday's contest while he deals with a left foot sprain and a sinus fracture. With the big man sidelined, Guerschon Yabusele and Andre Drummond are candidates for increased roles. Embiid's next chance to feature will come Wednesday against the Wizards.

Embiid (foot/nose) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.

After missing the first half of a back-to-back set on New Year's Day, Embiid appeared in two straight games and notched at least 28 points and 12 rebounds in both contests. Monday's contest isn't part of a back-to-back set, so it's safe to assume the superstar big man will be available against Phoenix, despite the questionable tag.

Embiid logged a game-high 28 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists in 29 minutes of play during Saturday's win over the Nets.

The beleaguered big man has begun to find his footing after what was initially a shaky return from injury, as he paced all scorers and recorded his fourth double-double in his past 10 games in the blowout victory on the road. The well-rounded output on offense is certainly encouraging for Embiid, who's been looking like the MVP contender of years past over the past month. He'll look to build on his resurgence Monday against the Suns.

Embiid (foot/nose) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus Brooklyn.

Despite not being 100 percent, Embiid will play through another questionable tag Saturday. In his last outing against the Warriors on Thursday, Embiid recorded 28 points (8-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes.

Embiid (foot/nose) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Nets.

Embiid continues to deal with a left foot sprain and right sinus fracture. If the superstar big man is unable to suit up against Brooklyn, Andre Drummond will likely receive increased playing time.

Embiid (knee) registered 28 points (8-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 139-105 loss to Golden State.

After sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Kings to rest his knee, Embiid tallied his third double-double of the season in Thursday's rout, providing a team-high 28 points as well as full stat line for the 76ers. The superstar big man is starting to round into form lately, averaging 31.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.3 blocks and 1.8 threes in 33.0 minutes over his past four games. Philadelphia's next back-to-back set doesn't arrive until Jan. 14 versus the Thunder and Jan. 15 against the Knicks, so fantasy managers hope to have Embiid available consistently up until that point.

Embiid (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid will suit up and should handle his regular workload in this matchup Thursday, meaning the likes of Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele will have reduced roles. Embiid is averaging 32.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game over his last three outings.

Embiid (foot) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

After resting against the Kings on Wednesday, Embiid could return to the floor for the 76ers on Thursday night against the Warriors. The veteran big man was playing well before resting against Sacramento, scoring 27 points or more in three straight games.

Embiid has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to rest purposes.

After dropping 37 points (12-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 12-13 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes during Monday's 125-103 victory over the Trail Blazers, Embiid will take a seat for the first half of Philadelphia's upcoming back-to-back set. The big man should be back in action Thursday in Golden State. In Embiid's absence, Andre Drummond (toe), Guerschon Yabusele and Ricky Council are candidates for increased roles.

Embiid totaled 37 points (12-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 12-13 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes during Monday's 125-103 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Embiid established a new season-high mark in scoring in what turned out to be one of the most complete performances the 76ers have delivered this season. Even though the big man has been limited to only 11 games due to injuries and a previous suspension, it's undeniable that he's been productive. He's scored at least 30 points in five of those 11 outings, averaging 23.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 blocks per game in that span.

Embiid (foot/sinus fracture) is starting Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Embiid was labeled as questionable leading up to Monday's tipoff, but the team has since announced that he'll get the green light. He's played well on the offensive end when available, averaging 25.5 points on 47.1 percent from the field over his last four appearances.

Embiid (foot/sinus fracture) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Embiid has been on the injury report as of late due to a left foot sprain and a sinus fracture. He's played in six of the 76ers' last eight games and is coming off a 32-point performance against the Jazz on Saturday. Embiid is averaging 22.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals over 28.7 minutes per game this season.

Embiid recorded 32 points (10-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), five rebounds, four assists, three blocks and four steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 win over the Jazz.

Embiid joined Tyrese Maxey with a team-leading total of 32 points, s the Sixers held of a late rally ti seal thee win. Embiid's rebound numbers were in characteristically low as Guerschon Yabusele led te team with eight boards, but Embiid mixed it up enough to earn several trips to the charity stripe, where he padded his total with 11 points. Embiid has managed to string together three starts despite his ailments, but the upcoming back-to-back against Portland may be another spot where he takes a seat.

Embiid (foot/face) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid will play Saturday after being listed as questionable due to a left foot sprain and sinus fracture. Over his last five games, Embiid has averaged 22.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists over 25.2 minutes per game.

Embiid is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Jazz due to a left foot sprain and right sinus fracture.

After suiting up in each of Philadelphia's last two outings, Embiid is now in danger of missing Saturday's contest. If Embiid is ultimately downgraded to out against Utah, Andre Drummond (toe) and Guerschon Yabusele are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Embiid (ankle) finished Wednesday's 118-114 win over Boston with 27 points (8-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes.

There was some uncertainty surrounding Embiid's status for Christmas Day after he rolled his ankle in pregame warmups, according to Jared Weiss of The Athletic, but the superstar big man was able to gut it out and nearly notch his third double-double of the campaign. Embiid is now averaging 21.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers in 28.0 minutes across nine appearances in 2024-25. The former MVP is still searching for a rhythm after being in and out of Philadelphia's lineup due to various injuries this season, as he's shooting a career-low 43.0 percent from the field and 28.9 percent from deep, but fantasy managers can expect Embiid to round into better form as he becomes further removed from his knee issues and sinus fracture.

Embiid was ejected with 2:59 remaining in the second quarter of Monday's game against the Spurs, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports. He'll finish the game with nine points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist across 14 minutes.

Embiid picked up an offensive foul and was tossed after arguing the call. Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele should pick up the slack in the frontcourt the rest of the way.

Embiid (knee) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Spurs.

Embiid is expected to suit up Monday after he was held out of Saturday's loss to Cleveland due to left knee injury management. The big man has appeared in only three games during December due to a sinus fracture and the lingering knee injury, during which he has averaged 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.3 blocks across 27.0 minutes per game.

Embiid (injury management) won't play Saturday against the Cavaliers, Austin Krell of USA Today reports. He ended Friday's 108-98 victory over Charlotte with 34 points (12-24 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and two steals in 31 minutes.

The 76ers are playing the second leg of a back-to-back set Saturday, and even though it's a game against an Eastern Conference contender such as the Cavaliers, the 76ers will rest Embiid to preserve his health as much as possible. Embiid looked dominant Friday against the Hornets, but with him sidelined Saturday, it means Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele are expected to see more minutes at center in what figures to be a physical battle against the likes of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley.

Embiid (sinus fracture) is available to play Friday against the Hornets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid was expected to be sidelined over the weekend due to a sinus fracture he suffered against the Pacers on Dec. 13. He missed this past Monday's game against the Hornets, but he will take the floor for Friday's rematch. Embiid has appeared in just six regular-season games and is averaging 20.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 blocks over 29.3 minutes per game.

Embiid (sinus fracture) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Hornets.

Embiid was initially expected to remain out through the weekend due to a right sinus fracture but could suit up Friday. Considering Philadelphia has back-to-back games Friday and Saturday, the superstar center will likely only be able to suit up for one of them, if at all.

Embiid (sinus fracture) participated in Thursday's 5-on-5 practice and wore a face mask, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid was set to be re-evaluated in one week from this past Monday due to a sinus fracture. While this likely means that the superstar big man will remain out for Friday's and Saturday's contests, it appears he is nearing a return to action. Until Embiid is able to suit up, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele should continue to receive increased playing time.

The 76ers announced Monday that Embiid (sinus fracture) will be re-evaluated in one week, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Given this timetable, Embiid will miss at least the next three games for the 76ers. If he's re-evaluated prior to their game on Dec. 23, a return against the Spurs could potentially be on the table. With Embiid sidelined for at least a few games, the 76ers will need to rely heavily on Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele in the frontcourt. Meanwhile, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey are likely to soak up more usage.

Embiid has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets due to a right sinus fracture.

Embiid was diagnosed with a sinus fracture after leaving Friday's loss to the Pacers, but at first, the 76ers didn't want to rule the big man out for Monday's contest. Given his injury history, it's certainly possible Embiid will miss additional contests, but for now, he's being treated as day-to-day. His next chance to suit up will come Friday during a rematch against the Hornets, while Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele are candidates for increased roles in Embiid's absence.

Embiid (face) suffered a sinus fracture in Friday's 121-107 loss to the Pacers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Prior to exiting, Embiid compiled 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3.4 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 17 minutes. He was hit in the face shortly before halftime. It remains to be seen how many games, if any, the star big man will miss as a result of the injury. Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele would presumably be the prime beneficiaries should Embiid indeed miss some time.

Embiid (face) won't return to Friday's game against the Pacers and will undergo further testing, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Embiid was hit in the fact in the dying moments of the second quarter and went straight to the locker room, but now he's been confirmed as out for the rest of the contest. This is a huge blow not only for the 76ers but also for Embiid, who has struggled to stay on the court throughout the campaign. Further tests will be needed to determine whether he'll miss time or not, with the 76ers' next game coming against the Hornets on Monday. Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele should see most of the minutes at center if Embiid is forced to miss time.

Embiid headed to the locker room just before the end of the second quarter during Friday's game against the Pacers, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid got hit in the face going for a defensive rebound late in the second quarter and looked to be in pain, as he headed to the locker room with a towel over his head just before the end of the first half. If he doesn't return for the second half, then Andre Drummond would be in line to see more minutes at center.

Embiid produced 31 points (13-28 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during Sunday's 108-100 victory over the Bulls.

Embiid impressed in Sunday's victory while making his return after missing all but four of Philadelphia's game this season, leading all 76ers in scoring, rebounds and blocks in a 30-10 double-double showcase. Embiid set a new season high in rebounds, now having tallied at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in two of his five appearances.

Embiid (knee) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Chicago.

Embiid has played in just four of the 76ers' 21 regular-season games due to a left knee injury, but the former MVP will return Sunday and play under a minutes restriction, per Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune. Embiid has struggled in the games he has played, averaging 19.8 points on 37.9 percent shooting, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 blocks over 31.3 minutes per contest.

Embiid (knee) is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls but will go through pregame warmups and face a hefty minutes restriction if cleared to suit up, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Embiid has missed seven straight and 17 of Philly's first 21 games this season due to a lingering knee injury. It appears like the 2022-23 MVP is trending toward playing Sunday, barring a setback during warmups, but it'd be surprising if he saw more than 30 minutes, even if he's in the starting lineup. Embiid has scored more than 20 points in only one of his four appearances this season.

Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid has been sidelined for the 76ers' last seven games while battling through a left knee injury, but he has a chance to return for Sunday's contest. If Embiid isn't able to return for Sunday's game, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele would be the Sixers' two starting big men while Adem Bona (knee) serves in a backup role.

Embiid (knee), who has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic, was present at Friday morning's shootaround but didn't participate, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Embiid is set to miss his seventh consecutive outing Friday, and his inactivity during Friday's shootaround doesn't bode well for his status ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Bulls. On a more positive note, the big man has been active in workouts over the last few days, according to Krell. The 76ers are extremely thin in the frontcourt with the 2023 MVP and Adem Bona (knee) sidelined, and if Andre Drummond (ankle) is unable to play Friday, the club should continue to take an extended look at Guerschon Yabusele with Pete Nance likely seeing minutes off the bench.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic.

Embiid has missed the last six games due to his knee injury, and it appears he will miss a seventh after being ruled out for Friday's contest. With Adem Bona (knee) also out and Andre Drummond (ankle) questionable, the 76ers will be very thin at center against Orlando, likely having to lean heavily on Guerschon Yabusele until somebody returns. Embiid's next opportunity to return will be Sunday in Chicago.

Embiid (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Magic, ESPN's Tim Bontemps reports.

Embiid will miss his fifth game in a row Wednesday, but it sounds like he's getting closer to a return. He's been cleared to begin his ramp-up process on the court, but it remains to be seen if he'll be given the green light for Friday's rematch against Orlando.

Coach Nick Nurse said Tuesday that he doesn't expect Embiid (knee) to play in Wednesday's game against the Magic, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid is expected to miss his fifth consecutive game due to left knee injury management. However, the superstar already missed the first game of the back-to-back set in Tuesday's NBA Cup win over the Hornets, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility for Embiid to suit up. If the big man remains sidelined, Guerschon Yabusele, KJ Martin and Adem Bona will likely receive an uptick in playing time.

Embiid (knee, personal reasons) will not play Tuesday against the Hornets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid isn't healthy enough to play right now, but he's also away from the team for personal reasons. His status for Wednesday against Orlando is questionable at best. With Andre Drummond (ankle) out for the next three games, players such as Guerschon Yabusele, KJ Martin and Adem Bona could see extended minutes in the frontcourt.

Embiid (knee) is out for Saturday's game versus the Pistons, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid's absence streak will extend to four games Saturday due to left knee injury management and personal reasons. Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele should continue to receive increased roles in the star big man's absence. Embiid's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Charlotte.

Embiid (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Rockets, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Embiid did not participate in Tuesday's practice and will miss his third game in a row Wednesday. Philadelphia's franchise center has appeared in just four games this season and the 76ers continue to tread very carefully with his left knee. Embiid's next chance to play will be Saturday against Detroit, and in the meantime, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele will likely hold down the fort.

Embiid (knee) has been diagnosed with swelling in his left knee and has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Clippers while being set for an evaluation at some point next week, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Embiid is dealing with yet another injury, and this is not an ideal scenario for a Philadelphia team that is also without Paul George due to a knee injury. Given this latest update, the earliest Embiid will return to the court will be against the Rockets on Nov. 27, but that will depend on how he progresses with his recovery during the next few days. Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele will see more time at center while Embiid is sidelined.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid is dealing with a lingering left knee injury and will not suit up two days after aggravating the injury in Wednesday's loss to Memphis. With the superstar ruled out, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele are candidates for an increased role. Embiid's next chance to feature will come Sunday versus the Clippers.

Embiid (knee), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets, will go through warmups before a determination is made on his status, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid is a game-time decision while navigating left knee injury management. The 76ers will take a look at the big man during warmups and likely make a decision near tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET. The superstar didn't participate in the club's morning shootaround Friday after aggravating his knee injury in Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies.

Embiid (knee), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets, was present at the 76ers' morning shootaround but did not participate, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid not going through shootaround bodes poorly for his chances of playing Friday. The big man appeared to aggravate the knee injury in Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies, during which he posted 35 points (10-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 35 minutes. If Embiid is sidelined, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Embiid is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets due to left knee injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

After posting 35 points (10-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies, Embiid was left off the 76ers' initial injury report for Friday's game, which was released Thursday afternoon. However, the big man was added to the report Friday morning and is now in jeopardy of missing his 11th game of the season. If he's sidelined, Andre Drummond would likely slide back into the starting lineup again, while Guerschon Yabusele could see increased usage off the bench.

Embiid registered 35 points (10-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 loss to Memphis.

Embiid was one of Philadelphia's few standout performers in this defeat, leading the team in scoring and rebounding despite the final outcome. Embiid has been limited to just four appearances after missing the team's initial nine contests due to a knee injury and a suspension. The 76ers will monitor Embiid's fitness and rest levels throughout the season, but the big man is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Nets, particularly if Paul George (knee) is unable to feature.

Embiid contributed 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and one block across 31 minutes during Monday's 106-89 loss to the Heat.

The star center appeared unlikely to play due to an illness earlier in the day, and while Embiid eventually suited up, he didn't appear to be 100 percent. It was only his third appearance after knee trouble and a suspension delayed his 2024-25 debut, and Embiid has yet to show anything close to his peak form. With Paul George now healthy and Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) getting close to a return though, the 2-11 Sixers might soon finally have their starting lineup intact for the first time this season.

Embiid (illness) will start Monday's game against the Heat, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Embiid was downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day due to an illness, but he was spotted warming up ahead of Monday's tipoff and was ultimately cleared to play. It's unclear whether he'll be on any type of minutes restriction, as the team will likely monitor him closely as the game progresses.

Embiid, who's listed as doubtful due to an illness, is warming up ahead of Monday's game against the Heat, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid was initially listed as questionable but got downgraded to doubtful Monday morning. However, now it appears he's trending more toward questionable again. Either way, if he gets the green light, Embiid will likely be limited against Miami. The 2022-23 MVP has made only two appearances in the current campaign. He made his season debut against the Knicks on Nov. 12, playing 26 minutes while recording 13 points, five assists, three rebounds and a block. That was the first night of a back-to-back set, and Embiid was back on the sidelines the next night. However, he returned to action Friday in Orlando, posting 20 points, eight rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 33 minutes.

Embiid (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Monday's game against Miami, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Embiid was initially listed as questionable, but it appears that the 76ers are planning to be without their franchise player Monday. With Embiid likely to sit, Andre Drummond is a candidate to see his fantasy value increase significantly, while players such as Jared McCain, Kelly Oubre and Guerschon Yabusele could see increased roles as well.

Embiid (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Heat.

Embiid has been a mainstay on the injury report and could miss yet another game due to an illness. While the big man's status is concerning for Monday's game, he's not listed with a knee injury anymore which is a positive sign of his progression. If the 2023 NBA MVP is ruled out, Guerschon Yabusele and Andre Drummond are candidates for an increased role.

Embiid supplied 20 points (5-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 98-86 loss to Orlando.

Embiid failed to connect on his five three-point attempts Friday, but he did hit all 10 of his free throw tries and finished as the 76ers' second-leading scorer behind Jared McCain (20). Embiid did manage to crack 30-plus minutes in his second game back from a left knee injury, and with two days of rest, he could see that amount of playing time against the Heat on Monday.

Coach Nick Nurse said he would like to get Embiid some more minutes in Friday's game versus the Magic, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid had previously played just 26 minutes in his season debut after missing time due to a knee injury and suspension. However, with Philadelphia having two days off until they play Miami on Monday, the superstar big man could see his playing time increased to around 30 minutes.

Embiid (knee) is available for Friday's game versus the Magic.

Embiid will return to action Friday after sitting Philadelphia's previous contest due to left knee injury management. Embiid will likely operate on a minutes restriction, as he tallied 13 points, five assists, three rebounds and one block in 26 minutes during his only other appearance this season.

Embiid (knee) won't play Wednesday against the Cavaliers, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

As expected, Embiid will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set. Based on previous reporting, it's likely that Embiid plays only one game of back-to-back sets for the foreseeable future. Paul George (knee) is also being held out for rest, so players such as Kelly Oubre, Andre Drummond, Jared McCain, Guerschon Yabusele and Caleb Martin will offer considerably more upside than they normally do.

Embiid logged 13 points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 111-99 loss to the Knicks.

Seeing his first action of the season after overcoming a knee injury and serving a three-game suspension, Embiid was on a minutes restriction and wasn't in peak form. It's not clear how quickly the Sixers are willing to ramp things up with their franchise player, but the 30-year-old center isn't likely to be in the lineup for the second night of a back-to-back Wednesday against the Cavaliers. His next chance to increase his workload should come Friday in Orlando, as Philly begins a brief three-game southern road trip.

Coach Nick Nurse said Embiid will be limited to 25-30 minutes during Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Embiid will make his season debut Tuesday after missing time with a knee injury and suspension. However, the superstar big man will be eased into Philadelphia's rotation and will play less than his average of 33.6 minutes per contest from last season out the gate. Embiid will likely also sit out Wednesday's matchup with Cleveland, as it is the second night of a back-to-back.

Embiid (knee/suspension) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

As expected, Embiid is set to make his season debut Tuesday. He missed the start of the campaign due to a lingering knee injury and was suspended for the past three games due to a locker-room altercation with a reporter. The 2022-23 MVP will almost certainly have a strict minute limit during his debut, but he should still be a high-usage player when on the court, especially until Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) is cleared to return.

Embiid (knee/suspension) is set to make his season debut Tuesday versus the Knicks following the conclusion of his three-game suspension, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Embiid had resumed full practices to begin November, so the ramp up from his left knee recovery program seemingly continues to go well. Stemming from an altercation with a media member, Embiid begins a three-game suspension Wednesday, but his return to action will fittingly come at home against the Knicks' squad that bounced Philadelphia from the playoffs last year.

Embiid will begin serving his three-game suspension Wednesday versus Clippers and will end with Sunday's contest against the Hornets, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

With Embiid set to begin serving his three-game suspension for getting into an altercation with a reporter, that means that the 76ers have medically cleared the superstar center to return to action after missing the first six games of the season due to left knee soreness. Now, Embiid is set to make his season debut against the Knicks on Nov. 12. Until then, Andre Drummond should continue to start at center for Philadelphia.

Embiid (knee) was issued a three-game suspension Tuesday for shoving a columnist in a postgame locker room, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Embiid took exception with something the columnist wrote and got into an altercation with him, prompting the NBA to step in. The 2023 Most Valuable Player has yet to see the court this season while managing knee soreness. That itself was the subject of a recent investigation by the NBA, which fined the 76ers for public statements around Embiid's health status. The big man will presumably begin serving his suspension once deemed healthy and theoretically available to play. So, if the team were to clear him for Wednesday's action against the Clippers, he wouldn't be able to play in that game or the two following.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Suns, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid will have to wait at least one more game before making his season debut due to a left knee issue. The superstar has been able to participate fully in practice and 5-on-5 scrimmages, though the club seems to be taking its time with the 2023 MVP's recovery. Andre Drummond should continue receiving the starting nod in Embiid's absence.

The NBA is investigating an altercation between Embiid (knee) and columnist Marcus Hayes following Saturday's 124-107 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, ESPN News Services reports.

Embiid confronted Hayes as reporters entered the locker room, and after raising his voice, Embiid appeared to shove Hayes before security stepped in. The incident stems from an article Hayes wrote, in which he mentions Embiid's son and late brother before questioning the MVP's professionalism and effort to stay in shape. "We take the situation very seriously and are investigating, and have already spoken to the NBA," Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey said in a statement.

Embiid (knee) was a full participant in Friday's five-on-scrimmage but won't play in Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid has yet to play this season while dealing with a left knee injury. While the superstar center's return to practice is a good sign that he can suit up in the near future, his next chance to do so will be Monday's matchup with Phoenix. In Embiid's absence, Andre Drummond should continue to start.

Embiid (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Pistons, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid, who missed the entire preseason with a left knee issue, will now miss his fourth straight contest to open the regular season. Embiid did participate in portions of Tuesday's practice, suggesting that he remains day-to-day. He'll be re-evaluated later in the week, but for now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Saturday's game against Memphis.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bucks and likely won't play Friday in Toronto or Sunday in Indiana, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

The Sixers announced that Embiid continues to respond well to his individualized plan and is expected to begin ramping up for game action soon by participating in scrimmages. However, the former MVP is looking at missing at least three games before being re-evaluated, opening up a huge opportunity for Andre Drummond.

Embiid (knee) was a limited participant at Monday's practice, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid was able to do everything but the final scrimmage, as the 76ers continue to exercise caution. This should be par for the course this season, as the franchise has made it very clear that they want tread carefully. Embiid's status for Wednesday's game against the Bucks has yet to be determined, but coach Nick Nurse said he expects to have a better idea Tuesday.

Embiid (rest/knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the preseason, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Following a meeting with doctors on Thursday, Embiid has been shut down from game action and will focus on an individual treatment plan to prepare for the regular season. The former MVP has yet to play during the preseason but is reportedly progressing well in his ramp-up process. The 76ers open the regular season against the Bucks on Oct. 23, so Embiid has over a week to clear the final medical hurdles before suiting up.

Embiid (rest) is uncertain to play in Monday's preseason game against the Hawks, head coach Nick Nurse told Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer. "I don't know yet. I'll let you know," when Nurse was asked about whether Embiid would join the team in Atlanta.

Embiid has yet to feature in the preseason, and given that the 76ers have been extremely cautious with their star player, it wouldn't be surprising if he's ruled out again. If Embiid remains out, Nurse will continue to take an extended look at the 76ers' frontcourt depth of Guerschon Yabusele, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona.

Coach Nick Nurse said Saturday he plans to rest the 76ers' vets, and Embiid is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game versus the Celtics, https://x.com/BobbyKrivitsky/status/1845231500649955526 reports.

Embiid didn't make the trip to play against the Timberwolves on Friday, and he is not expected to play Saturday on the road against Boston. Guerschon Yabusele will step into the starting five, and with Embiid likely out Nurse will likely take an extended look at the 76ers' frontcourt depth of Yabusele, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona.

Embiid (rest) didn't make the trip for Friday's preseason contest against the Timberwolves, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Embiid doesn't appear to have suffered any injury but will miss his second straight preseason contest Friday. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's preseason matchup with Boston.

Embiid (rest) won't play in Monday's exhibition versus the New Zealand Breakers, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid and Paul George will stay in street clothes for the 76ers' preseason opener. The 2023 MVP lost 25-30 pounds this offseason in an effort to be healthier during the playoffs, and it'd be surprising if he played a significant role during preseason action. Philadelphia has a back-to-back set this weekend, playing in Minnesota on Friday and in Boston on Saturday.

Embiid said Monday that he lost 25-30 pounds this offseason in an effort to be healthier during the playoffs, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Embiid added that there's no agenda this season other than winning during the postseason. Embiid is a seven-time All-Star and was named the 2023 NBA MVP, not to mention a laundry list of other accolades, but the big man has struggled to perform at his peak when it matters most. The emergency of Tyrese Maxey and the addition of Paul George should ease Embiid's regular-season burden, but it'll be interesting to see how the 76ers handle their star player this season. Embiid made a career-low 39 regular-season appearances last season and has never played more than 70 games in his eight-year career.

Embiid agreed to a three-year, $192.9 million maximum contract extension with the 76ers on Friday, Ramona Shelbourne of ESPN.com reports.

The MVP center was already signed through the 2025-26 campaign and had a $59 million player option for 2026-27, but he'll decline that option and tack on the three-year extension that also includes its own player option. Embiid was limited to 39 games last season due to a meniscal flap tearing after playing at least 66 contests in each of the previous two seasons, but he was as productive as even when available as he averaged a career-high 34.7 points, 5.6 assists and 1.2 steals to go along with 11.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks.

Embiid managed 19 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes during Thursday's 95-91 semifinal win over Serbia.

Embiid was one of three Team USA players to score in double digits -- the others being Steph Curry (36) and LeBron James (16), who also had a triple-double. However, Embiid also led the team with three turnovers. Regardless, Team USA is advancing to the gold medal game against France.

Embiid (ankle) will start Thursday's semifinal matchup against Serbia.

Embiid was dealing with ankle discomfort and sat out the second half of Tuesday's win over Brazil. However, he's feeling good enough to play and start in the semifinal against Nikola Jokic and Serbia.

Embiid was held out of the second half of Tuesday's 122-87 win over Brazil in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympics due to ankle discomfort, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports. The 30-year-old posted 14 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 12 minutes.

Embiid reportedly told coach Steve Kerr at halftime that he was experiencing ankle discomfort, and he was rested for the remainder of the game. While the big man's status is something to monitor ahead of the Olympic semifinals, he will likely suit up as Team USA has a tall order ahead of them against Serbia and Nikola Jokic. Despite playing only the first half of the contest against Brazil, Embiid's ability to score and dominate on the glass amidst ankle discomfort bodes well for his return to action in the squad's next contest Thursday.

Embiid isn't starting Wednesday's Olympic matchup against South Sudan.

Embiid was held in check during Sunday's matchup against Serbia, totaling four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-3 FT), two rebounds and a block in 11 minutes despite drawing the start. Anthony Davis will replace Embiid in Wednesday's starting lineup.

Coach Steve Kerr said Saturday that he expects Embiid (illness) to play in Saturday's Olympic matchup versus Serbia, BasketNews.com reports.

After missing Saturday's practice due to an illness, Embiid will be expected to suit up for Team USA's opening game of the group phase. The superstar will be playing in his first Olympic game for the United States, and through five exhibition matchups he has shown he will likely be a focal point on the stacked roster. Embiid is coming off another stellar season, during which he averaged a career-high 34.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.7 blocks while shooting 52.9 percent from the field.

Embiid posted 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 22 minutes in the United States' 92-88 exhibition game win over Germany on Monday.

Embiid followed up a 2-for-8 performance from the field Wednesday against Serbia with two extremely efficient outings. The big man has shot a combined 10-for-14 across the USA's last two exhibition games. Embiid's ability to move the ball Monday was also impressive as he led the squad in assists. The All-Star has been elite on the boards through five exhibition matchups thus far, and he is averaging 6.8 boards per game.

Embiid provided 39 points (12-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 13-13 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 118-115 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Embiid was clearly not 100 percent healthy throughout the series, and the limitations were more noticeable as the series progressed, but he still posted outstanding stat lines, scoring 29 or more points in four of the six contests. He also recorded three double-doubles and a triple-double, but he couldn't do the heavylifting on his own in the games where Tyrese Maxey struggled. Between the Play-In win over the Heat and the first-round series against the Knicks, Embiid averaged 31.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.3 blocks across 41.0 minutes per game.

Embiid (knee) is available and starting in Game 6 against the Knicks on Thursday.

This is not a surprise considering the situation the 76ers are in, as Philadelphia must win this game to force a decisive Game 7. Embiid is averaging 31.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 steals per game in the first-round series against the Knicks.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Game 6 against the Knicks on Thursday.

Embiid has been listed as "questionable" for every game in this series so far, but he's yet to miss a game, so he feels much closer to probable. Check back for official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip.

Embiid ended with 19 points (7-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, 10 assists, four blocks and one steal in 48 minutes during Tuesday's 112-106 overtime win over the Knicks in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

This was considered an off game for Embiid, yet he still managed to triple-double to keep the 76ers alive in the playoffs. Embiid wasn't quite himself and was moving around pretty slow, as he was battling both a migraine and some left knee soreness. The 76ers will be hopeful that Embiid will feel more like himself for Game 6 on Thursday.

Embiid (knee/migraine) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks.

Embiid has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left knee injury and a migraine. The superstar big man is averaging 35.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 40.3 minutes across the first four games of the series.

Embiid (knee) sat out of Tuesday's shootaround due to a migraine, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

There's been no change to his status for Tuesday's Game 4 versus the Knicks, so Embiid remains questionable to play due to his left knee soreness. Despite the questionable tag, it would be a major surprise if Embiid was held out with Philadelphia's season on the line.

Embiid is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 due to left knee injury recovery.

Embiid has averaged 35.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 40.3 minutes over the first four games of the opening-round series. However, the reigning MVP, who missed two months during the regular season after undergoing meniscus surgery, continues to be listed as questionable and has struggled in every fourth quarter thus far. With the 76ers facing elimination in New York on Tuesday, it'd be shocking if Embiid didn't suit up.

Embiid provided 27 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals across 44 minutes during Sunday's 97-92 loss to New York in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Embiid led all Philadelphia players in scoring, rebounds, blocks and steals while handing out a half-dozen assists in an all-around performance in a losing effort against New York. Despite dealing with a lingering knee injury throughout the series, Embiid has played in all four games and has tallied at least 25 points, eight rebounds and five assists in three straight outings. Look for Embiid to put together another strong outing in Game 5 to help the 76ers avoid elimination in a win-or-go-home contest.

Embiid (knee) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks.

Embiid continues to be listed as questionable but hasn't missed a postseason game yet. He has averaged 37.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks through the first three games of the opening-round series and is coming off a 50-point explosion during Philadelphia's Game 3 win on Thursday.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 versus the Knicks.

Embiid has been listed as questionable for every game in this series so far, but he continues to push through his knee issue and his mild case of Bell's palsy that has affected his eye. During Thursday's Game 3 win, Embiid finished with 50 points (13-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 19-21 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 41 minutes.

Embiid is being treated for a mild case of Bell's palsy, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. He finished Thursday's 125-114 win over the Knicks with 50 points (13-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 19-21 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 41 minutes.

Embiid delivered one of the best playoff performances of his career in Game 3 to keep the Sixers alive in the series, but the post-game news of his mild case of Bell's palsy turned out to be an unexpected and surprising outcome. Embiid revealed the condition started following the Play-In victory over the Heat, but the star big man wanted to keep it private to avoid distractions for his team. Bell's Palsy is a condition in which there is a facial weakness or paralysis due to injury to the 7th facial nerve, though it remains to be seen if that will limit him for Game 4 on Sunday. Based on his recent performances, though, Embiid won't be affected by this issue. He has scored 29 or more points in the three games of the first-round series against New York.

Embiid (knee) will start Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid carried a questionable tag prior to this update, but he seemed more than fine in the opening pair of games in this series. He made it through his usual warmup and there's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff.

Embiid is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks due to left knee injury recovery.

Embiid has played 39 and 37 minutes, respectively, during the first two games of the series and totaled 63 points, 18 rebounds, 12 assists, two steals and one block. He hasn't looked 100 percent at times, but it'd be surprising if the reigning MVP didn't try to gut it out with his team facing a two-game deficit.

Embiid totaled 34 points (12-29 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one block over 39 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Embiid showed no ill effects fro his lingering knee injury and logged a dull load in the loss, but his prolific line wasn't enough to turn the tide. Embiid and Tyrese Maxey got no help from their teammates as the rest of the roster ended with fewer points than Embiid alone.

Embiid (left knee injury recovery) has been cleared to play in Monday's Game 2 against the Knicks, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Embiid and Tyrese Maxey (illness) will suit up Monday, although coach Nick Nurse noted that Maxey will operate at less than 100 percent while still dealing with symptoms. Embiid logged 37 minutes of action even while briefly exiting Saturday's contest before halftime, so he'll likely be leaned on even if gimpy.

Embiid (left knee injury management) is a game-time decision for Monday's Game 2 versus the Knicks, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid and Tyrese Maxey (illness) will both be game-time calls Monday. Coach Nick Nurse remarked that "availability will be determined after they each go through their pregame workout routine" in advance of a 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

Embiid is questionable for Monday's Game 2 against the Knicks due to left knee injury recovery.

Embiid carrying the designation of "injury recovery," as opposed to a specific aggravation, is a good sign, and returning to the second half of Saturday's contest likely puts him on track for Game 2. That being said, Philadelphia has been unreliable in reporting injuries of late, so Embiid's status will need to be monitored. He declined to speak with media after Saturday's contest, but the big man has returned to action after suffering in-game tweaks twice in the time since his initial return from surgery, so gutting out lingering pain has been the precedent.

Embiid notched 29 points (8-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 11-12 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 111-104 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Embiid exited late in the second quarter of Saturday's contest after lobbing a dunk off the backboard to himself and landing solely on his left leg. He returned after halftime, with Philadelphia battling to take leads late in the third and early in the fourth quarter. Embiid also tweaked his knee April 12 in is fifth game back following meniscus surgery, but he returned to that contest as well. On Saturday, Embiid touched on the still-growing trust in fully utilizing his athleticism, acknowledging that feeling tweaks and dealing with pain will be a natural occurrence down the stretch, but that his knee is structurally sound. Mitchell Robinson is a formidable matchup against a less-explosive Embiid, but Embiid's scoring gravity and defensive anchoring were huge for Philadelphia on Saturday. He finished with a plus-14 net rating during his time on the court, representing a notable margin of victory across 37 minutes

Embiid (knee) started the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Knicks, Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic reports.

Embiid left Saturday's contest in the second quarter following an awkward fall after throwing an alley-oop to himself. However, the star big man, who was helped off the court after that sequence, started the third quarter with the 76ers, and he's expected to play for as long as he's able to.

Embiid headed to the locker room during the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Knicks with an apparent knee injury, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Embiid made a spectacular play after throwing an alley-oop to himself, but he grabbed his left knee as soon as he landed and was helped off the court before going to the locker room. If Embiid can't return, that would mean a significant turn of events for a Sixers team that struggled massively without the star big man. Paul Reed should see more minutes if Embiid is unable to return to the game.

Embiid (knee) will play Saturday against the Knicks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid went through his pre-game routine unscathed, and the star big man will be ready to handle his regular workload in the series opener against New York. Embiid is averaging 29.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks across 31.8 minutes per game in the six games he's played since returning from the knee injury that sideline him for two months earlier this year.

Head coach Nick Nurse said Embiid (knee) will go through his usual pre-game workouts to determine his availability for Saturday's series opener against the Knicks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid is officially listed as questionable due to the same injury that kept him sidelined for two months of the regular season, but barring a notorious setback during his pre-game routine, he's expected to be available and handle his regular workload. Embiid is averaging 29.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks across 31.8 minutes per game in the six games he's played in since returning to the hardwood.

Embiid is questionable for Game 1 of the first-round series against the Knicks on Saturday.

Embiid appeared in five of the final seven regular-season matchups, averaging 30.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 30.6 minutes, after returning from a 29-game absence at the beginning of April. He also posted 23 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and a steal in 38 minutes during Philadelphia's Play-In victory over Miami on Wednesday. Embiid will likely be a regular on the injury report throughout the postseason, but barring a setback or new injury, it'd be surprising if the reigning MVP missed time.

Embiid logged 23 points (6-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 105-104 Play-In Game victory over Miami.

Embiid had a complicated matchup against Bam Adebayo, arguably one of the best defensive centers in The Association, and even though his efficiency was subpar, he still led Philadephia in scoring while coming through with a clutch performance from the charity stripe. Embiid should be in line for a productive first-round series against the Knicks, and even though he only faced them once in the regular season, he delivered a 30-point, 10-rebound, three-block performance on Jan. 5.

Embiid is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the 76ers.

As expected, Embiid has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left knee injury. The superstar big man tallied 29 points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 33 minutes during his only other appearance against Miami this season.

Embiid (knee) remains questionable but is expected to play Wednesday against the Heat, barring a setback during warmups, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid got through shootaround without issue, but the 76ers' medical staff would like him to get through his pregame routine before officially clearing him. However, it seems very likely that he'll be out there, so he's a reasonable target in daily fantasy leagues.

Embiid (knee) participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid logged two straight practices coming into the morning shootaround, but he's still carrying a questionable tag for Wednesday's game against Miami. Despite the questionable designation, it would be a big surprise if Embiid was unable to suit up Wednesday.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the Heat.

Embiid sat out Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nets due to precautionary reasons but practiced Monday and Tuesday. The 76ers have won eight straight, including five in a row with Embiid back in the lineup, and the reining MVP has looked great in the process, averaging 30.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 30.6 minutes per game.

Embiid (knee) was a full participant at Tuesday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

This was Embiid's second straight practice appearance, so he remains on track to play Wednesday against Miami. His absence in the season finale Sunday was merely a precaution based on previous reports.

Embiid (knee) practiced Monday, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Early Sunday, coach Nick Nurse said Embiid was expected to play in the regular-season finale against the Nets, barring a setback, and then the reigning MVP was ruled out after going through pre-game warmups, sparking pessimistic speculation. However, Nurse clarified before the matinee tipoff that Embiid's absence was considered a precautionary measure, and the big man's return to practice Monday confirms that notion. Embiid will likely still appear on Philadelphia's injury report for Wednesday's Play-In matchup against the Heat, but he's trending in the right direction. The 76ers have won eight straight games, including five consecutive with Embiid in the lineup.

Embiid's (knee) absence in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Nets is considered a precautionary measure, and he is expected to be ready for the playoffs, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Nick Nurse indicated earlier Sunday that Embiid was expected to play against the Nets barring any setbacks. The star big man was then later ruled out, but it looks like the Philly simply opted to err on the side of caution. The former MVP is expected t o be ready for a potential play-in game or Round 1 matchup depending on how the seeding ultimately works out.

The 76ers have officially ruled Embiid (knee) out of Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Nets, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Head coach Nick Nurse said Sunday that Embiid was expected to play according to Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com. It is unclear if the star big man suffered some type of setback, or if Philadelphia just opted to err on the side of caution heading into the playoffs. In his absence, Paul Reed and Mo Bamba figure to see expanded roles at center.

Coach Nick Nurse said Embiid (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Nets, barring a setback, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid continues to ramp up following a lengthy surgery-related absence and will likely suit up for the sixth time over Philadelphia's last seven contests. Over his past two appearances, the reigning MVP has compiled 69 points, 24 rebounds, 15 assists, three steals and three blocks while playing 34.0 minutes per game. The 76ers have won all five games Embiid has appeared in since his return and could avoid the Play-In Tournament with another victory Sunday.

Embiid is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nets due to left knee injury recovery.

Embiid tweaked his knee in Friday's game versus Orlando and could be held out of Sunday's contest. If the superstar big man is ruled out against Brooklyn, Mo Bamba and Paul Reed are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Embiid closed with 32 points (10-23 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 32 minutes during Friday's 125-113 win over the Magic.

Embiid recorded his 30th double-double of the season Friday, and he reached that mark for the third straight game. There was a scare in the second quarter when Embiid went to the locker room after awkwardly landing on his recently repaired left knee, but he was able to return for the second half. The 76ers have now won seven straight games, and a win in the regular-season finale Sunday against the Nets could catapult Philadelphia into the top six in the Eastern Conference, avoiding the NBA Play-In Tournament.

Embiid returned for the second half of Friday's game against Orlando.

This is a huge relief for the 76ers after Embiid appeared to tweak his left leg before halftime, forcing him out of the game and into the locker room.

Embiid went to the locker room after suffering a left knee injury during the second quarter of Friday's game against the Magic, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid exited the game after an awkward landing on his recently repaired left knee and immediately limped to the locker room for further evaluation. Paul Reed and Mo Bamba would shoulder the load at center if Embiid is unable to return.

Embiid (knee/rest) is available for Friday's game against the Magic.

Embiid will suit up for the fifth time over Philadelphia's last six contests, with his only absence coming during the second half of a back-to-back set. The 76ers have won all four games that Embiid has appeared in since returning from his lengthy surgery-related absence, and the reigning MVP has averaged 30.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks in 30.3 minutes during that stretch.

Embiid is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Magic due to left knee injury recovery.

It doesn't appear that Embiid has suffered a new injury, but Philadelphia could play it cautiously with their superstar center against Orlando. If Embiid is ruled out, Mo Bamba and Paul Reed will likely receive increased playing time.

Embiid notched 37 points (12-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and three steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 120-102 win over the Pistons.

Embiid returned from a one-game absence in style, and the reigning MVP was two assists shy of registering his third triple-double of the season Tuesday. The 76ers were without Tyrese Maxey (hip) but the team didn't miss a beat on offense with Embiid controlling the flow of the game. Philadelphia is one game back of Indiana for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, and the coaching staff will have to balance a desire to avoid the NBA Play-In Tournament with Embiid's health heading into the postseason. In the four games since his return, Embiid is averaging 30.0 points on 51.4 percent shooting, 8.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.8 steals over 30.1 minutes per game.

Embiid (knee) is available to play Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid sat out Sunday's game against the Spurs due to left knee injury management, but the star big man will be ready to return, but don't rule out Philadelphia monitoring his workload, especially if the Sixers create a huge lead as the game progresses. Embiid has averaged 27.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 28.3 minutes per game over his last three appearances.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Detroit.

Embiid sat out Sunday's game against San Antonio due to left knee injury management, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return Tuesday. If he's available, the 76ers will likely monitor his workload, as he's averaged 27.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 28.3 minutes per game over his last three appearances.

Embiid will not play in Sunday's game versus the Spurs due to injury management of his left knee, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

With Sunday representing the second half of a back-to-back for Philadelphia, Embiid sitting is not overly surprising. The reigning MVP dropped 30 points and 12 rebounds in Saturday's victory over Memphis, signaling that he is plenty capable of booming production moving forward, even if he isn't thunderously attacking of the basket to his prior extent. Philadelphia is one game behind Indiana for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, with Embiid's next opportunity to take the court coming Tuesday versus Detroit.

Embiid (knee) is available and will play Saturday against the Grizzlies, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid went through his regular routine in shootaround and looked unscathed, so he should be able to handle his regular workload in a favorable matchup against the Grizzlies. Embiid is averaging 26.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists in his first two games since his return.

Embiid (knee) went through shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies. However, the superstar big man's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability.

Embiid is questionable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to left knee injury recovery.

Embiid has appeared in back-to-back matchups following a 29-game absence, totaling 53 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, four steals and one block in 62 minutes. The 76ers also won both of those contests. Tyrese Maxey (hip), Tobias Harris (knee) and Mo Bamba (illness) are also questionable for Saturday, so it's unclear what Philadelphia's rotation will look like at this point.

Embiid finished with 29 points (11-25 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 33 minutes in Thursday's 109-105 win over Miami.

Embiid returned to form Thursday in his second game back from missing 29 games with a knee injury, ending one point shy of the 30-point mark while connecting on a trio of threes to boost Philadelphia in a winning effort. In two games since his return, Embiid has averaged 26.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 steals per contest.

Embiid (knee) is good to go for Thursday's game in Miami, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid was able to get through his pregame routine without issue, so he'll be out there, and perhaps he'll clear 30 minutes in his second game back. Make sure you've got him active.

Embiid (knee) is expected to play Thursday against the Heat, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid is officially being listed as "questionable" on the injury report, but he was a full participant at shootaround and head coach Nick Nurse said he's expecting Joel to be out there. That said, the 76ers still want Embiid to get through his pregame routine before he's officially cleared, so he's essentially going to be a game-time decision.

Embiid (knee), who is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat, participated in the 76ers' morning shootaround, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid returned to the court Tuesday against the Thunder and tallied 24 points, seven assists, six rebounds and three steals in 29 minutes. While he remains questionable for Thursday's matchup, his participation in shootaround is encouraging. The 76ers will presumably see how he feels following his morning activity, and he'll likely remain on a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play Thursday.

Embiid is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat due to left knee injury recovery.

Following a 29-game absence, Embiid returned to action Tuesday and posted 24 points (6-14 FG), seven assists, six rebounds and three steals in 29 minutes during a win over the shorthanded Thunder. It's not surprising to see the 76ers proceed with caution, but they'll likely want to ramp Embiid up to a full workload before the playoffs begin. Tyrese Maxey (hip), Tobias Harris (knee) and Mo Bamba (illness) are also questionable for Thursday.

Embiid posted 24 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 12-12 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and three steals over 29 minutes in Tuesday's 109-105 win over Oklahoma City.

Embiid returned Tuesday after missing Philadelphia's previous 29 contests due to a left knee injury, putting forth a balanced performance while shooting a perfect mark from the free-throw line and handing out a team-high assist total in a 24-point outing. Embiid, who also swiped a team-high trio of steals, has distributed seven or more assists in 14 games this season, adding 20 or more points in all of those contests. As he works his way back to full strength, expect to see Embiid's minutes and production increase for the 76ers.

Embiid (knee) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder.

Embiid will return to action Tuesday after missing Philadelphia's previous 29 contests due to a left knee injury. With Mo Bamba (illness) out, the reigning MVP will reclaim his spot in the starting lineup. However, Embiid will operate under a minutes restriction, likely leaving increased playing time for Paul Reed.

Embiid (knee) has been upgraded to questionable and is expected to play Tuesday against the Thunder, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid was initially ruled out for Tuesday's game, but he ascended to questionable a couple of hours before tipoff and is set to make his first appearance since Jan. 30. Coach Nick Nurse does expect the reigning MVP to have some restrictions during his first game back, per Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com, but the timing of Embiid's return should allow him to get back to 100 percent by the time the playoffs roll around, barring a setback.

Embiid (knee) is now listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid's potential availability for Tuesday has been revived after he was initially ruled out for the contest. If he takes the court against the Thunder, coach Nick Nurse expects the big man's workload to be strictly monitored, per Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com. Regardless of Embiid's ultimate status for Tuesday, it appears that a return is on the imminent horizon.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania both reported Monday morning that Embiid, who's been sidelined since Jan. 30 while recovering from left meniscus surgery, is expected to return sometime this week. However, the reigning MVP will miss at least one more game and turn his sights on suiting up during Philadelphia's upcoming three-game road trip, which starts Thursday in Miami and ends Sunday in San Antonio.

Embiid (knee) is expected to return to action at some point this week, possibly as soon as the 76ers' next game Tuesday versus the Thunder, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid, who has been sidelined since Jan. 30 while recovering from left meniscus surgery, has been ramping up his activity in practice and was able to go through some five-on-five scrimmages recently with no issues. His return would provide a massive boost to the 76ers as they look to prepare for the playoffs. More clarity on Embiid's status for Tuesday's game is expected later Monday, when the 76ers will release their first injury report. Embiid's impending return will result in Mo Bamba moving to a bench role and possibly losing his spot in the rotation, as Paul Reed had been serving as the primary backup center prior to Embiid's meniscus injury.

Coach Nick Nurse said Thursday that Embiid (knee) will travel with the 76ers during their upcoming two-game road trip, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Levick also relays that Embiid participated in Philadelphia's light practice Thursday and will continue to do his rehab workouts during the road trip. It doesn't sound like Embiid will play Friday in Cleveland or Sunday in Toronto, but it's encouraging to see him cleared to travel. Nurse said Wednesday that the team is hopeful Embiid can suit up for at least a few regular-season games before the Play-In Tournament, which begins April 16.

Coach Nick Nurse said Wednesday that Embiid (knee) has a "very good" chance of playing before the end of the regular season, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid hasn't played since Jan. 30 after undergoing left knee surgery. While the superstar forward continues to work out on the court and is hopeful to play before the playoffs, there is no concrete timetable for his return. Mo Bamba and Paul Reed should continue to receive increased playing time in Embiid's absence.

Embiid (knee) won't be with the 76ers during their upcoming four-game road trip, which starts Wednesday in Phoenix and ends Monday in Sacramento, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Embiid, who underwent surgery Feb. 6 to address a left meniscus injury, continues to be limited to non-contact, walkthrough workouts and hopes to start ramping up for game action in April. This is par for the course, as the reigning MVP was expected to miss six to eight weeks following the procedure. While Embiid doesn't have an exact return date, it does sound like Philadelphia is preparing to get him back for a potential playoff run. The 76ers are currently in the sixth seed, but they're one loss away from falling into the Play-In Tournament.

Coach Nick Nurse said Embiid (knee) participated in parts of the 76ers' non-contact practice Sunday, but there's still no return timetable for the reigning MVP, Lauren Rosen of the 76ers' official site reports.

Embiid continues to progress in his rehab following a Feb. 6 surgery to address a left meniscus injury, and it's encouraging to see him doing basketball activities. However, the big man will likely miss at least a handful of more games, as he'll presumably need to regain his conditioning after being cleared for contact work. The Sixers have fallen into the Play-In Tournament during Embiid's absence, and they'll likely remain there if he doesn't return to game action soon.

Katie George of ESPN reported during Philadelphia's matchup against the Mavericks on Sunday that Embiid (knee) has started on-court workouts and is back to 100 percent in the weight room.

Embiid underwent a procedure on his left meniscus Feb. 6 and is slated to be evaluated soon. Despite the positive update, the reigning MVP is presumably still limited to solo shooting drills and would likely need time to regain his conditioning after being cleared for full contact, so his potential return is likely still at least a few weeks away. However, more clarity on Embiid's return timetable should be available when the team releases an official update in the next week.

Embiid (knee) remains out indefinitely, but coach Nick Nurse said before Sunday's game against the Bucks that the reigning MVP has gotten positive feedback and remains "really hopeful" for a late-season return, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Embiid underwent a procedure on his left meniscus at the beginning of February, but there were conflicting reports about his return timeline. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Embiid would be re-evaluated in four weeks, while Shams Charania of The Athletic said the big man was expected to miss at least 6-8 weeks. Both of these reports could be true. Embiid's first evaluation may come after four weeks, but he'll presumably need a few weeks to regain his conditioning before being cleared for game action. In a best-case scenario, managers may get Embiid back for the fantasy playoffs, but even in that situation, he may not be operating at 100 percent.

Embiid (knee) is now expected to be out for 6-8 weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Embiid has yet to be ruled out for the season after undergoing surgery to repair a left meniscus injury Sunday. However, it appears that the superstar center will be sidelined for quite a bit longer than his scheduled re-evaluation in four weeks. Paul Reed and Mo Bamba are in line to receive the majority of Philadelphia's center minutes while Embiid remains out.

The 76ers announced Tuesday that Embiid underwent a left meniscus procedure and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

The 76ers did not provide any details other than the fact that the procedure was successful. Wojnarowski said that the door isn't closed on a potential return this season, but it all depends on how Embiid's recovery goes over the next several weeks. Based on this news, Embiid will be re-evaluated around March 5. In the meantime, Tyrese Maxey will continue to see heavy usage, while Paul Reed and Mo Bamba will soak up a lot of frontcourt minutes.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN announced Sunday that Embiid will undergo surgery this week to repair a left meniscus injury.

Embiid aggravated his knee injury during Tuesday's loss to the Warriors and has been diagnosed with a displaced flap in his left meniscus. After evaluating treatment options, the team's medical staff has determined that he'll require a procedure. A timetable for his return isn't expected to be revealed until after the surgery, but he's expected to miss extended time and should be considered out indefinitely.

Embiid has been diagnosed with a displaced flap in his left meniscus and is evaluating his treatment options, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Embiid's injury is not a setback related to the previous left knee issue, which he was wearing a brace for at the time of Tuesday's incident involving his meniscus. Rest and rehab or a surgical procedure are both potential options, but Embiid has yet to determine his recovery plan. A displaced meniscal flap entails a partial tearing of a component of the meniscus, often with a fragment of torn meniscus displacing into the knee and causing irritation. The severity and specific location of Embiid's tear are factors that will dictate treatment, but he is out indefinitely until a course of action is established.

An MRI of Joel Embiid's left knee revealed an injury to his lateral meniscus and he will be out through the weekend while a treatment plan is finalized, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Interestingly, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Embiid's knee injury as a "torn" meniscus, but Chris Haynes of Turner Sports and Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN only referred to it as an "injury" to his meniscus. The discrepancy in the reporting will be resolved when we get an official update from the 76ers, hopefully early next week, but Paul Reed needs to be scooped up waiver wires everywhere while Embiid is out. Embiid managers should wait for an official diagnosis before making any rash roster decisions.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The results of Embiid's MRI on Wednesday remain unknown, but he won't travel with the team to Utah and will instead head to Philadelphia to receive further evaluation on his left knee. The reigning MVP missed back-to-back games due to left knee soreness before returning to action Tuesday versus Golden State, though he labored throughout the contest and was sidelined for the final four minutes after Golden State's Jonathan Kuminga landed on Embiid's left knee. The collision reportedly isn't a setback from his previous injury, but it's concerning nonetheless. Following Thursday's game in Utah, the 76ers have a four-game homestand which starts Saturday versus Brooklyn and ends Friday versus Atlanta. Paul Reed should continue to start in Embiid's absence, but the 76ers are just 3-9 without the big man and have lost four straight.

Embiid (knee) will undergo an MRI on Wednesday to determine the extent of his injury, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid has been dealing with a knee injury in recent weeks, and he was unable to finish Tuesday's game against the Warriors after Jonathan Kuminga landed on his left knee while going for a loose ball. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 76ers exercising caution with Embiid given his recent injury-related absences, but further complicating matters is the league's new rule for season-long award eligibility, as the center can miss only five more games before becoming ineligible to win a second consecutive MVP award. If Embiid is forced to miss time due to his most recent injury scare, Paul Reed, Marcus Morris and Kelly Oubre are candidates to see increased playing time.

Embiid got tangled up going for a loose ball with Jonathan Kuminga and was grabbing his left knee before heading to the locker room with 4:04 remaining in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game versus the Warriors, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid had missed Philadelphia's last two contests with a left knee injury and appeared to be bothered by it throughout Tuesday's contest, even heading to the locker room briefly earlier in the game. With the superstar center unlikely to re-enter the game, he will finish with 14 points (5-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 30 minutes. Embiid's status for Thursday's matchup with Utah is in doubt.

Embiid (knee) will play in Tuesday's game versus the Warriors, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Embiid will return to action Tuesday after missing Philadelphia's previous two contests with left knee soreness. The superstar center will replace Paul Reed in the starting five. Embiid is averaging 39.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 steals in 34.4 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Embiid (knee) is the game-time decision Tuesday versus Golden State, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid is that risk of missing his third consecutive game due to left knee soreness, although his status coming down to the wire indicates that a return could be near. Embiid must play in 65 games to be eligible for the MVP Award, but he has already missed 12 contests this season. That being said, his long-term health is likely the far outweighing factor.

Embiid (knee) will not play in Monday's game against Portland, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid was a late scratch against Denver on Saturday for the same reason, and now he'll sit on the front end of this back-to-back set. Whether he plays against the Warriors on Tuesday remains to be seen, but he's considered day-to-day. Paul Reed will be a popular streaming option Monday after he produced 30 points (14-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 42 minutes against Denver.

Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Embiid missed Saturday's game due to left knee soreness and finds his status up in the air again Monday. If he is unable to go, Paul Reed figures to be the main beneficiary while Nicolas Batum and Marcus Morris could see expanded roles as well.

Embiid (left knee soreness) won't play in Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Cassidy Hubbarth of ESPN reports.

Embiid was previously not on the injury report but ended up being a late scratch for the contest. In his absence, expect Paul Reed, Nicolas Batum and Marcus Morris to see more minutes. Embiid's next chance to play will come Monday at Portland.

Embiid had 31 points (11-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during Thursday's 134-122 loss to the Pacers.

Embiid led all players in Thursday's contest in scoring while hauling in a team-high rebound mark and ending three boards short of a double-double in a losing effort. Embiid, who also led all 76ers in free throws made, has tallied at least seven rebounds in every game this year while posting all but five contests.

Embiid ended Monday's 133-123 win over San Antonio with 70 points (24-41 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 21-23 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes.

The 70 points were not only a new career high for Embiid, they also set a new 76ers record, topping the 68 points scored by Wilt Chamberlain in 1967. The 29-year-old center has scored at least 30 points in 21 straight games dating back to Nov. 17, averaging 38.3 points, 11.6 boards, 5.9 assists, 2.0 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.2 threes over that stretch as he pushes for his second straight MVP Award.

Embiid totaled 33 points (11-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 37 minutes during Saturday's 97-89 win over Charlotte.

It's getting harder and harder to find adjectives for the kind of season Embiid is having, and it seems no one in the league can slow him down, with injuries being the only reason he hasn't posted even better numbers while he searches for another MVP award. The 29-year-old center has scored 30 or more in 20 straight games dating back to Nov. 17, averaging 36.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.0 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.2 threes over that stretch while shooting 55.3 percent from the floor and 39.3 percent from three.

Embiid (knee) is available and will start against the Hornets on Saturday.

Embiid was tabbed as questionable, and the coaching staff wanted to see how he'd respond before deciding on him, but he went unscathed during his pre-game routine, so he will start and handle his regular workload. Embiid has scored at least 36 points in his last three games since returning from a three-game spell on the sidelines between Jan. 6 and Jan. 12 due to a knee injury.

Embiid is listed as questionable for Saturday's game in Charlotte due to left knee injury maintenance.

It will be the second night of a back-to-back set for Embiid, so it looks like the 76ers are determining whether or not to err on the side of caution here. The perennial MVP candidate tallied 36 points (12-22 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 11-11 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and four steals across 31 minutes in Friday's 124-109 victory over the Magic. Paul Reed and Mo Bamba (knee) would be candidates for increased minutes if Embiid ultimately does not get the green light.

Embiid closed Friday's 124-109 victory over the Magic with 36 points (12-22 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 11-11 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and four steals across 31 minutes.

He led all scorers on the night, just ahead of Tyrese Maxey's 32 points. That marked the eighth time this season the duo have each scored 30-plus in the same game -- a new Sixers franchise record for teammates. Embiid has missed seven games since Christmas due to lower-body injuries, but he remains dominant when he's on the court. The 29-year-old center has scored 30 or more in 19 straight games dating back to Nov. 17, averaging 36.9 points, 11.4 boards, 6.0 assists, 1.9 blocks, 1.4 steals and 1.3 threes over that stretch while shooting 55.7 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Embiid chipped in 41 points (13-22 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 12-15 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 126-121 win over Denver.

Matched up against fellow perennial MVP candidate Nikola Jokic, Embiid came out on top as he scored 40 or more points for the second straight game and the seventh time in 13 contests since the beginning of December. While the 29-year-old center has had trouble staying healthy during that time, he's been absolutely dominant when on the court, averaging 38.8 points, 11.9 points, 5.4 assists, 2.0 blocks, 1.4 threes and 1.2 steals over that 13-game stretch while shooting 58.2 percent from the floor and 41.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Embiid does not carry an injury designation into Tuesday's contest after returning from a left knee swelling Monday

Embiid boomed for 41 points in a 31-minute workload in Monday's win over Houston. While appearing on Tuesday's injury report would have been surprising, his healthy status is notable given that he'll operate in a full workload during a back-to-back set for Philadelphia.

Embiid finished with 41 points (12-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 16-17 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes in Monday's 124-115 win over Houston.

Embiid returned after a three-game absence due to swelling in his left knee, leading all players in Monday's contest in scoring and rebounds to go along with a trio of threes in a double-double performance. Embiid has posted at least 40 points and 10 boards in seven games this season while scoring at least 40 points in four of his last seven games.

Embiid (knee) is available and will start Monday's game against the Rockets.

Embiid will return to action Monday after a three-game absence due to swelling in his left knee. Coach Nick Nurse said during the team's morning shootaround that Embiid won't have any restrictions in his first game back. Over his last 11 appearances, the reigning MVP has averaged 38.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.4 steals in 33.5 minutes per game.

Embiid (knee) will be a game-time call against the Rockets on Monday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Coach Nick Nurse said Embiid will warm up before a decision is made on his status. If he does get the green light to play, Nurse said the center won't face any restrictions. However, if Embiid does play Monday, the 76ers will see how his knee responds before making a decision on his status against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Embiid was a full participant in Sunday's practice and is nearing a return to game action. However, Monday's matchup is the front half of a back-to-back set, so Philadelphia may opt to remain cautious with the reigning MVP, who's missed 13 of the last 23 games, including two of the last nine.

Embiid (knee) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com, the 76ers are optimistic that Embiid can play as soon as Monday versus Houston, but Philadelphia faces Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets on Tuesday, so the team may opt to be cautious with the reigning MVP during the upcoming back-to-back set. After appearing in each of the 76ers' first 14 games, Embiid has appeared in just 13 of the last 23, including two of the last nine. Paul Reed has benefitted from Embiid's absence, but the latter should be back in the starting lineup before too long.

Embiid (knee) will remain out for Friday's matchup against the Kings.

Coach Nick Nurse was hopeful last year's MVP could get back on the court Friday, but he'll instead miss a third straight game. After appearing in each of the 76ers' first 14 games, Embiid has appeared in just 13 of the following 22. He's remained dominant when available, but the missed time is becoming a concern for a big man with an injury history. Paul Reed should draw another start against Sacramento.

Coach Nick Nurse said Wednesday that he is hoping Embiid (knee) will be able to play in Friday's game versus the Kings, as swelling in his left knee is no longer believed to be an issue, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid has already been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with Atlanta, marking his second straight absence. However, it appears the superstar center is nearing a return and could suit up for Friday's contest against Sacramento.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Embiid will miss a second consecutive game, marking his sixth absence over Philadelphia's last eight contests. Paul Reed should draw another start after posting 16 points, six rebounds and an assist during Saturday's loss to Utah, while Embiid's next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the Kings. However, the reigning MVP still isn't practicing, so it's unclear how close he is to playing.

Embiid (knee) did not practice Tuesday, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid missed Saturday's game against Utah with some swelling in his left knee, and he's sat out of back-to-back practices since. The 76ers will release their injury report Tuesday evening, but it seems likely that Embiid will be questionable at best. If he's unable to play against Atlanta on Wednesday, Paul Reed could be heavily featured once again. Reed played 26 minutes against the Jazz on Saturday with 16 points, six rebounds and one assist.

Embiid (knee) didn't practice Monday, but there's hope he'll get some work in Tuesday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid missed a four-game stretch to end December due to an ankle injury. He returned to action Jan. 2 and appeared in back-to-back games, totaling 61 points, 25 rebounds, 13 assists and five blocks during that stretch. However, he was sidelined again for Saturday's loss to Utah, this time due to swelling in his left knee. Given his recent injuries, it's not surprising to see Philadelphia taking a cautious approach with the reigning MVP. Embiid's official status for Wednesday's game in Atlanta likely won't released until Tuesday afternoon.

Embiid (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Jazz, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid was a late addition to the injury report Saturday afternoon and was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update. He didn't take the floor for warmups, however, and was ruled out shortly after. Embiid is dealing with some swelling after he twisted his knee Friday against the Knicks, but the good news for the 76ers is that they don't play again until Wednesday against Atlanta. Paul Reed will start in Embiid's place and is likely to see heavy minutes.

Embiid is questionable to face the Jazz on Saturday due to left knee swelling, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid chipped in 30 points (10-23 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 128-92 loss to the Knicks, but he was spotted limping more than once, so the questionable tag isn't entirely surprising. The star big man said post game that he twisted his knee in Friday's contest against New York. His absence would represent a huge absence for the Sixers, and it would probably translate into more minutes for Paul Reed. Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey and even Kelly Oubre could also benefit from more touches if Embiid is ruled out.

Embiid chipped in 30 points (10-23 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 128-92 loss to the Knicks.

Embiid registered his 15th-straight 30-point, 10-rebound double-double, which ties the NBA record set by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 1971-72 season. It came in a blowout loss to the Knicks on Friday, but Embiid has continued to remind everyone in the league why he won the MVP award in 2022-23. He's averaging 34.6 points on 53.5 percent shooting, 11.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.1 steals over 34.1 minutes per game this season.

Embiid finished with 31 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes in Tuesday's 110-97 win over Chicago.

Embiid returned Tuesday after missing the last four games with an ankle injury, leading all players in the contest in scoring and assists while pacing the 76ers in rebounds and tallying a 30-point triple-double. Embiid has recorded a triple-double in two games this season, both of which have finished with at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. He has now surpassed the 30-point mark on 21 occasions this year.

Embiid won't be on a minutes restriction for Tuesday's game versus the Bulls, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid is set to return to action Tuesday after missing Philadelphia's last four contests with an ankle injury. The superstar center is averaging 34.2 minutes per game this season and should handle a similar workload against Chicago.

Embiid (ankle) will be back in action for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

The 76ers have completely removed Embiid from the injury report after he missed the past four games with an ankle sprain. While Embiid was sidelined, the 76ers relied heavily on Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris on the offensive end, while Paul Reed saw a significant jump in minutes and produced some solid fantasy lines. Reed's minutes are likely to trend down to the teens again, while Mo Bamba will struggle to see playing time.

Embiid (ankle), who is sitting out Friday's game against the Rockets, will also miss Saturday's game versus the Bulls, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid will miss his fourth straight game Saturday. That means the earliest he can return will be Tuesday in a rematch against the Bulls. Paul Reed will be a popular pickup in fantasy leagues, and he's coming off an impressive double-double versus Orlando on Wednesday with 15 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal.

Embiid (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid will be unavailable for a third consecutive game due to a sprained right ankle. He wasn't with the team for Wednesday's matchup in Orlando, and it's unclear whether he's joined the 76ers as their road trip continues. The 29-year-old's next chance to return will be Saturday against the Bulls, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him remain out for the second half of the back-to-back set. Paul Reed will likely continue to serve as the starting center while Embiid is sidelined.

Embiid (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid will miss a second consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain, and his status moving forward remains unclear. Wednesday's matchup is the second contest of Philadelphia's current four-game road trip, and given Embiid currently isn't with the team in Orlando, it's safe to presume his availability for Friday's contest in Houston and Saturday's showdown in Chicago is also in doubt.

Embiid (ankle) will miss Monday's Christmas Day game against Miami, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Embiid did not travel with the team to Miami. He'll officially miss his first contest since Dec. 1 due to a right ankle sprain. Embiid is undergoing daily treatment with his status undetermined for Wednesday's game versus Orlando.

Embiid missed Saturday's practice due to an ankle injury, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Embiid didn't practice on Saturday due to an ankle injury he presumably suffered during Friday's game against Toronto. Head coach Nick Nurse stated that there is "some" concern over the injury, but it doesn't seem to be too serious. The Sixers travel to Miami on Monday, so Embiid has a couple of days to get healthy. If he is ultimately unable to go, Paul Reed and Robert Covington could be in line for extra minutes.

Embiid racked up 31 points (11-21 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists, four blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 121-111 victory over the Raptors.

The reigning MVP left the game to begin the second quarter due to an ankle issue, but Embiid returned later in the frame and looked like his usual dominant self. The 29-year-old center has produced at least 30 points and 10 boards in 13 straight games, the longest such streak since Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar rattled off 16 consecutive 30-10 performances in 1971-72. Elgin Baylor also had a 13-game streak between the 1961-62 and 1962-63 campaigns, while Wilt Chamberlain is the only other player in NBA history with longer ones, including his untouchable record of 65 straight games set in 1961-62. During his current heater, Embiid is averaging 37.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.3 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.2 threes.

Embiid closed with 51 points (17-25 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 17-18 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 127-113 victory over the Timberwolves.

Embiid led all players in Wednesday's game in scoring and shots made both at from the field and at the free throw line while posting a season-high point total and his second 50-point outing of the year. Embiid, who also hauled in a team-leading rebound mark in a double-double outing, is the fifth player in NBA history to have at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in 12 straight games. Over his last eight outings, Embiid has averaged 41.4 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.4 steals while shooting 61.5 percent from the field.

Embiid chipped in 40 points (15-28 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Monday's 108-104 loss to the Bulls.

Embiid was considered questionable to play for Monday's game due to some tightness in his left hamstring, so it's pretty remarkable how well he did. There are not many players as hot as Embiid is in December. Through his last seven games, he's averaging 40.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.0 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.3 three-pointers. He's been the best player in nine-category formats during that span.

Embiid (hamstring) is available and will start Monday's game against the Bulls.

Embiid's left hamstring was tight following the team's morning shootaround, so he was downgraded to questionable. However, it appears the issue isn't significant enough to keep him out of a juicy matchup against the Bulls. The reigning MVP has averaged 40.0 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals in 32.3 minutes over his last six appearances.

Embiid is questionable for Monday's game against Chicago due to left hamstring tightness.

Embiid wasn't on the 76ers' initial injury report, but his status is now up in the air ahead of Monday's matchup. If he's sidelined against the Bulls, Paul Reed, Mo Bamba and Robert Covington would be candidates to see increased run.

Embiid produced 42 points (18-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 135-82 victory over the Hornets.

Embbid dominated from the opening tip, taking full advantage of an opposition who simply had no one to throw at him. Currently the number two ranked player in nine-category leagues, Embbid is putting together another MVP-caliber season. As long as he can remain relatively healthy, managers have nothing to worry about in terms of Embiid returning or exceeding value moving forward.

Embiid ended Friday's 124-92 win over the Pistons with 35 points (9-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 15-16 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals across 29 minutes.

Embiid logged under 30 minutes for just the second time this season, getting more than his usual amount of rest due to the lopsided nature of the score. He didn't need a full allotment of playing time to continue his dominance, though, as he led the 76ers in scoring and notched his ninth straight double-double. All of those double-doubles have included at least 30 points and 10 boards, and per the Associated Press, Embiid broke Wilt Chamberlain's franchise record for consecutive contests reaching those marks. Embiid's numbers have been even better this year than last, so it's no surprise that he's in the running for a second straight NBA MVP award.

Embiid closed Wednesday's 129-111 win over the Pistons with 41 points (14-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 12-12 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 31 minutes.

The All-Star center piled up 30 of those points in the first half, as the Sixers grabbed an early lead they wouldn't relinquish. Embiid has reeled off eight straight games with at least a double-double, tossing one triple-double into the mix as well, and over that stretch he's averaging a dominant 36.5 points, 12.0 boards, 6.9 assists, 2.1 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.1 threes while shooting 54.9 percent from the floor. The departure of James Harden has allowed Embiid to take on more of a distribution role in the Philly offense, and his 6.4 assists a night on the season are more than two dimes better than his previous career high.

Embiid notched 34 points (14-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 146-101 win over the Wizards.

There are not many players as hot as Embiid these days. He's scored at least 30 points in his last eight appearances, and the 76ers are 6-2 in those games. During that span, Embiid has been the second best player in nine-category leagues behind only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with averages of 35.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.3 steals, 2.1 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers.

Embiid (knee) will start Monday's game against the Wizards.

Embiid was trending in the right direction despite being listed as questionable. The reigning MVP has scored at least 30 points in seven straight appearances, averaging 35.6 points, 11.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.1 steals during that stretch.

Embiid (knee), who is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards, participated in Philadelphia's morning shootaround, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid tweaked his knee during Friday's win over Atlanta, and his status for Monday's game is up in the air. However, his participation in shootaround is encouraging, especially after he was a full participant in Sunday's practice session. The 29-year-old will presumably be monitored in the hours leading up to tipoff, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Washington.

Embiid was a full participant in Sunday's practice after tweaking his knee during Friday's win over Atlanta, but it appears he'll be a game-time decision for Monday's matchup. The reigning MVP notched 38 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks in 36 minutes versus the Hawks, and his participation in practice suggests he has no intention of missing any games. However, the final decision will likely come down to Philadelphia's medical staff.

Coach Nick Nurse said Embiid's status for Monday's game against the Wizards is to be determined, but the reigning MVP was a full participant in Sunday's practice after tweaking his knee during Friday's win over Atlanta, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Embiid finished Friday's 125-114 win with 38 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks in 36 minutes, but Nurse said after the contest that he was concerned about Embiid's knee. Philadelphia will presumably be cautious with the superstar big man, but given his participation in practice, it appears like Embiid has no intentions of missing any games. Regardless, Embiid will likely have an injury designation when the 76ers release their injury report Sunday afternoon, and he figures to be a game-time decision ahead of Monday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff.

Embiid ended Friday's 125-114 victory over Atlanta with 38 points (12-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 13-15 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal in 36 minutes.

Embiid entered Friday's game as the leading scorer in the NBA, averaging 33.1 points per game while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor. His 38 points against Atlanta was a game-high and was the seventh straight time the reigning MVP has scored 30-plus points in a game, thanks in large part to his contributions at the free throw line. He'll continue to make his case for back-to-back MVP honors Monday against the struggling Wizards.

Embiid had 50 points (19-29 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 13 rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 131-126 win over the Wizards.

Embiid joined Giannis Antetokounmpo, Zach LaVine and teammate Tyrese Maxey as the fourth player to score 50-plus points this season. Embiid missed the last two games with an illness and every one of his 50 points were needed as the 76ers held off the Wizards to snap a two-game loss streak. He continues to cause trouble for opposing defenses, scoring 30-plus points for the sixth straight time and has recorded 10-plus free throw attempts in 10 of his last 11 appearances. Embiid will continue his campaign for back-to-back MVP's on Friday against the Hawks.

Embiid (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Embiid missed the team's previous two games due to an illness but returned to practice Monday and will be good to go Wednesday. Tyrese Maxey (illness) and Kelly Oubre (ribs) will also play versus Washington. Embiid is averaging 32.0 points, 11.3 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.0 steals in 34.5 minutes per game this season.

Embiid (illness) participated at Monday's practice, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Embiid is healthy again after missing the past two games for the 76ers with an illness. In addition to Embiid, Tyrese Maxey (illness) and Kelly Oubre (ribs) practiced Monday and are set to return against the Wizards on Wednesday.

Embiid (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid will miss a second straight game due to an illness. Tyrese Maxey (illness) may also be sidelined Friday, so Philadelphia is at risk of being extremely shorthanded versus Boston. Marcus Morris started in Embiid's absence Wednesday, but Paul Reed and Robert Covington each played around 30 minutes. Embiid's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Washington.

Embiid (illness), who remains questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics, wasn't at the 76ers' morning shootaround, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid missed Wednesday's game against New Orleans due to an illness, and his absence from Friday's shootaround doesn't bode well for his availability against Boston. However, the 76ers will presumably continue to monitor the center as tipoff approaches. Marcus Morris, Paul Reed and Robert Covington are candidates for increased work if Embiid sits.

Embiid (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid was a late scratch for Wednesday's game against New Orleans due to an illness, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to action Friday. If he sits once again, Marcus Morris, Paul Reed and Robert Covington should see increased run.

Embiid (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid wasn't listed on the injury report prior to being ruled out. In his absence, the 76ers will start Tyrese Maxey, De'Anthony Melton, Tobias Harris, Nicolas Batum and Marcus Morris. While Morris will start, expect Paul Reed and Robert Covington to see more action off the bench. Embiid's next chance to play will come Friday at Boston.

Embiid registered 30 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 138-94 win over the Lakers.

There aren't many adjectives to describe how dominant Embiid was on both ends of the court, and while he had a few problems dealing with Anthony Davis in the first quarter, he quickly took control of the contest and made his presence felt on both ends of the court. Embiid notched his first triple-double of the season and also extended his streak of games with at least 30 points to five.

Embiid finished Saturday's 127-123 victory over the Thunder with 35 points (8-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 19-21 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists, four blocks and one steal in 37 minutes.

Embiid finished just one assist away from recording what would've been his first triple-double of the campaign, but even if the star big man is trying to achieve that feat every time he steps on the court, his contributions remain vital for one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. An absolute two-way stud who continues to deliver first-round value as one of the most productive players in the league, Embiid has recorded three double-doubles in a row and is also of a run of four straight games with 32 or more points. The emergence of Tyrese Maxey has given Embiid a reliable second star to partner with, but the reigning MVP remains the go-to player for Philadelphia, and his numbers back that up. He's averaging 33.5 points, 11.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals per game across his last 10 outings.

Embiid (hip) is available and in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Thunder.

Embiid has been upgraded from probable to available Saturday after missing Philadelphia's previous game with a hip injury. The superstar center will reclaim his starting spot from Marcus Morris.

Embiid (hip) is probable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

This is great news for the 76ers after Embiid was held out of Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. Paul Reed and Marcus Morris each stepped up for the 76ers in Embiid's absence and combined for 26 points and 13 rebounds. Look for their fantasy value to trend down again with Embiid on the mend.

Embiid has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Timberwolves due to left hip soreness, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Wednesday's matchup is the second night of a back-to-back set, so Embiid's first absence of the season may just be precautionary, though it's certainly something to keep an eye on moving forward. Embiid's next chance to suit up will come Saturday in Oklahoma City. In his absence, Paul Reed and Mo Bamba are candidates for increased minutes, but Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum may spend more time at center in small-ball lineups. However, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris will presumably have to lead Philadelphia's offense without the MVP candidate.

Embiid chipped in 32 points (9-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 13-16 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, five blocks and two steals in 41 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 122-119 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.

Embiid was massive on both ends of the court for the Sixers despite the team suffering a heartbreaking overtime loss. The star big man is enjoying an excellent season but has been on a tear of late, racking up at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in four of his last six appearances. He's averaging 32.2 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.5 blocks per game in November.

Embiid amassed 32 points (11-24 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists and one block over 31 minutes during Sunday's 121-99 win over the Nets.

Embiid led all players in Sunday's game in scoring and rebounds en route to a double-double showing that came up one assist short of a triple-double in just 31 minutes of play. Embiid has tallied at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in five games this season, posting at least 30 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in two straight outings.

Embiid accumulated 32 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-11 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 126-116 victory over the Hawks.

Embiid looked good despite dealing with a sore hip, and the star big man ended just three rebounds and two assists away from notching what would've been his first triple-double of the campaign. One of the best frontcourt players in the league and an absolute fantasy stud, Embiid has reached the 30-point mark in four of his last five outings while averaging 32.2 points, 11.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.1 blocks per game in November.

Emiid (hip) is available for Friday's game in Atlanta, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid originally drew a questionable designation due to a sore left hip, but he will ultimately play through it. Barring any setbacks, look for the reigning MVP to take on his usual responsibilities in Philly's frontcourt.

Embiid (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta.

Embiid continues to deal with a sore left hip, but he hasn't yet been forced to miss any time this season. He was a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against the Celtics before being deemed available, so the 76ers may wait to see how he fares during pregame activities before determining his status for Friday's game.

Embiid finished Wednesday's 117-107 loss to the Celtics with 20 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 34 minutes.

Embiid didn't have a bad shooting night and still posted a solid overall stat line, but it's worth noting this 20-point output was his lowest scoring mark of the campaign. The star big man continues to play at an elite level, however, and he should bounce back Friday when dealing with Clint Capela and the Hawks. After all, Embiid has scored at least 25 points in all but two of his appearances.

Embiid (hip) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid will shed a second straight questionable tag for the second leg of this back-to-back set. There's been no word of any restrictions, but he obviously seemed fine Tuesday when he poured in 39 points in 38 minutes.

Embiid (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Boston.

Embiid was also considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers due to left hip soreness, but he suited up and logged 39 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and three steals in 38 minutes. It's unclear whether his role or availability will be impacted since the 76ers are playing the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday, but Paul Reed, Mo Bamba and Robert Covington would be candidates for increased roles if Embiid is out or limited.

Embiid totaled 39 points (11-22 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 17-17 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 132-126 loss to Indiana.

Embiid led the Sixers in scoring for the ninth time in 10 games, and he was dominant in the paint duel against Myles Turner, who lasted just 19 minutes before being fouled, but his contributions were not enough to lift the 76ers to victory. Embiid can't do everything on his own, but even if the Sixers didn't win here, the star big man continues to play at an absurdly high level and remains one of the best fantasy performers in The Association every time he steps on the court and regardless of the format.

Embiid (hip) will play Tuesday against Indiana, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Embiid will suit up for a night of In-Season Tournament action Tuesday. He is joined by Tyrese Maxey, De'Anthony Melton, Robert Covington and Tobias Harris in the starting lineup.

Embiid (hip) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against Indiana.

Embiid's status will come down to pregame warm-ups. Embiid has yet to miss a game this season, but Paul Reed and Mo Bamba would platoon to fill his void if needed.

Embiid is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers due to left hip soreness.

Embiid hasn't yet missed a game this year and has posted double-doubles in seven consecutive games, but he's dealing with a hip issue after logging 37 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block in 33 minutes during Sunday's win over Indiana. If he's unavailable for Tuesday's rematch, Paul Reed, Mo Bamba and Robert Covington would be candidates for increased work in the frontcourt.

Embiid finished Sunday's 137-126 win over the Pacers with 37 points (12-26 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 13 rebounds and seven assists over 33 minutes.

Embiid has been the top scorer for the 76ers in each of their last eight games, but took a step back in that category to Tyrese Maxey, who dropped a career-high 50 points in Sunday's win. Embiid was still his dominant self as he grabbed eight offensive rebounds and was able to get to the free throw line at will. He's had double-digit attempts from the charity stripe in five of his last seven games and is averaging 33.2 points per game in November. He'll look to replicate his performance Tuesday in a rematch with the Pacers at home.

Embiid provided 27 points (10-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 victory over the Celtics.

Embiid led all 76ers players in scoring, rebounds and blocks while posting his fifth straight double-double and his second game with four or more blocks. Embiid has started the year playing at an All-Star level, posting at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and four assists in four of his seven appearances.

Embiid ended Monday's 146-128 win over the Wizards with 48 points (17-25 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.

Embiid erupted for 29 points in the third quarter, marking the most points scored in a quarter in 76ers history. All of his scoring damage came from inside the arc Monday, simply overpowering Washington. Embiid is averaging 34.0 points, 11.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in his last three games, and a showdown against Boston is on deck Wednesday.

Embiid had 26 points (9-18 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Saturday's 112-100 win over the Suns.

Embiid is averaging 30.8 points over his last four contests. He attempted a season low of shot attempts and free throws Saturday but executed at a high level. He's a boom candidate in Philadelphia's next game against Washington on Monday.

Embiid logged 28 points (8-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 35 minutes during Thursday's 114-99 win over the Raptors.

Embiid did a little bit of everything for Philadelphia in Thursday's road win over Toronto, leading all players in scoring and rebounds while leading the 76ers in assists during a double-double performance. Embiid has gotten off to a strong start for Philadelphia in four appearances, posting at least 24 points, seven rebounds and six assists in all four games this season while notching a double-double in two straight outings.

Embiid registered 35 points (12-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists, six blocks and two steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 126-98 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Embiid was sensational against the Blazers, as he led the Sixers to an easy 28-point win thanks to an elite display on both ends of the court. This was the Sixers' third game of the season, but if the first two games are a base to build upon, then Embiid will go hard to win a second straight MVP award. In these three games, Embiid is already averaging 31.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 3.0 blocks per game.

Embiid (rest) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Derek Bodner of DailySix.com reports.

Embiid was listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup due to rest purposes, but he participated in pregame warmups and will be available for the 76ers' home opener. He tallied 34 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and a steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's win over Toronto.

Embiid (rest) is questionable for Sunday's game against Portland

Embiid's presence on the injury report is purely attributed to rest. Paul Reed and Mo Bamba would step up if Embiid gets the night off Sunday.

Embiid finished with 34 points (14-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Saturday's 114-107 victory over Toronto.

Embiid led all scorers Saturday night as he shot a blazing 66.7 percent from the floor. He was close to registering his first triple-double since Dec. 31, 2022 as he bullied his way past Jakob Poetl and the rest of the Raptors' defense. With James Harden missing the first two games, Embiid has gotten plenty of help from fourth-year guard Tyrese Maxey in the first two games of the season. The reigning MVP played 35 minutes in Saturday's contest, though he could see his minutes restricted in the 76ers' next game against the Trail Blazers in a back-to-back Sunday.

Embiid chipped in 24 points (9-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-8 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one block over 36 minutes during Thursday's 118-117 loss to the Bucks.

The star big man didn't have his best performance as a scorer and struggled in terms of efficiency, both from the field and from the charity stripe, but he still posted a strong fantasy output due to his contributions in other categories. The reigning MVP is expected to have another massive year for Philadelphia, and his usage rate should climb even more compared to 2022-23 if James Harden remains away from the team due to his trade demands.

Embiid scored 21 points (3-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 14-15 FT) while adding five rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 120-106 preseason win over the Hawks.

The reigning MVP had trouble getting his shot to fall against the Atlanta big man duo of Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu, but he made up for it at the free-throw line. With James Harden seemingly poised to miss the beginning of the regular season due to his trade demand, Embiid could have an even bigger role than usual in the Sixers' offense, even though he's seen at least a 37 percent usage rate in each of the last two campaigns.

Embiid (illness) will play in Friday's preseason finale on Friday, according to Ky Carlin of USA Today.

Embiid said he was supposed to play Monday, but he was a little under the weather. The bad news is that it doesn't sound like James Harden will be joining Embiid on the floor, as he skipped practice Wednesday and has been away from the team since Sunday.

Embiid won't play in Monday's preseason contest against the Nets due to an illness, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid was initially expected to make his preseason debut versus Brooklyn, but he was surprisingly ruled out Monday morning. It was speculated that he was still just resting, but prior to tipoff, coach Nick Nurse revealed the reigning MVP is dealing with an illness. Embiid's status for Friday's preseason finale against the Hawks remains unclear, but James Harden is trending toward suiting up for that contest after sitting out all of Philadelphia's preseason contests thus far.

Embiid (rest) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Nets, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Coach Nick Nurse said Sunday that he expected Embiid to play in Monday's preseason matchup, but the team will elect to give him another game off. The center's availability for the start of the regular season doesn't appear to be in question, but his final chance to suit up during the preseason will be Friday against Atlanta.

Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse said Sunday that Embiid (rest) is expected to play in Monday's preseason game versus Brooklyn, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Nurse previously said Embiid could make his preseason debut Monday, but the coach was more optimistic about the reigning MVP's status Sunday. James Harden (personal) could also suit up, but both superstars would presumably play limited minutes if they're deemed available.

76ers coach Nick Nurse said Wednesday that Embiid (rest) could play in Monday's preseason game against the Nets, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid and Harden (rest) are already set to sit out Wednesday's preseason matchup with Celtics. However, both could make their preseason debuts Monday, albeit while likely playing limited minutes.

Embiid (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Celtics, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid logged a full practice Tuesday, but he'll miss a second straight preseason game for rest purposes. In his absence, Paul Reed should see additional run. Embiid's next chance to make his preseason debut will arrive Monday in Brooklyn.

Embiid (rest) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Derek Bodner of DailySix.com reports.

Despite his participation at practice Tuesday, Embiid can still be considered questionable for Wednesday's preseason rematch against the Celtics after the reigning MVP took the night off Sunday. If Embiid makes his preseason debut Wednesday, it's safe to assume he'll be on a minutes limit.

Embiid (rest) is inactive for Philadelphia's preseason opener Sunday, reports Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Embiid will be joined by James Harden (personal), De'Anthony Melton (rest) and Furkan Korkmaz (rest) on the sidelines. Paul Reed and Mo Bamba will likely absorb his role Sunday.

Embiid posted 15 points (5-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 38 minutes during Sunday's 112-88 loss to the Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Game 7 did not go Philly's way, and a tepid outing from Embiid was a critical factor. Embiid's frustration with Boston's early lead was clearly visible, and the 2023 NBA MVP effectively threw in the towel in the fourth quarter, exhibiting minimal effort. Embiid finished the season with averages of 23. points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.8 blocks over nine games in the playoffs, well below his regular season numbers.

Embiid logged 26 points (9-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 41 minutes during Thursday's 95-86 loss to Boston in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Embiid continues to play through an ongoing knee injury, racking up a double-double during the Game 6 loss. While he was able to play significant minutes, he did appear hampered at times, struggling to get up the floor. He will undoubtedly be ready to go for Game 7 but if the 76ers are able to advance beyond the second round, Embiid's health has to be a major concern moving forward.

Embiid (knee) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 6, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Embiid will play in his fifth consecutive game after sustaining a sprained right knee in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals and missing a pair of contests due to the injury. Since returning, Embiid has faced no limitations, playing at least 37 minutes in each of his last three appearances after being held to 27 minutes in Game 2 due to a blowout. Over that three-game stretch, Embiid averaged 32.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.6 blocks across 40.6 minutes.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 versus Boston.

Embiid has appeared in four straight games after missing back-to-back contests due to a knee sprain, so it'd be surprising if he took a seat for the critical Game 6 matchup. The MVP has scored at least 30 points in three straight games, averaging 32.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.7 blocks in 40.7 minutes during that stretch.

Embiid accumulated 33 points (10-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and four blocks over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 115-103 victory over the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Embiid had a dominant display on both ends of the court, leading the 76ers in scoring despite not shooting the ball at a very efficient clip while also recording multiple blocks for the fourth time over his last five games. The reigning MVP is averaging 24.6 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.9 blocks per game in the playoffs, but it's worth noting he has cleared the 30-point mark in each of his last three games in the series.

Embiid (knee) is good to go for Game 5 versus the Celtics on Tuesday

Embiid was carrying a questionable tag into Tuesday's contest, but the 76ers never expressed much doubt about his status. With the series tied 2-2, Embiid will continue playing through the pain as expected.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

Embiid missed two games earlier in the postseason due to his lingering knee sprain, but he's appeared in the last three matchups and has averaged 26.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 37.3 minutes per game. With the series tied 2-2, it wouldn't be surprising to see Embiid suit up once again Tuesday.

Embiid chipped in 34 points (11-26 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 12-15 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 46 minutes during Sunday's 116-115 overtime victory over the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Embiid led all 76ers in rebounds while finishing as one of two players with 30 or more points in a double-double performance. Embiid, who tallied his highest scoring total of the postseason thus far, has posted two straight 30-point double-doubles in the series against Boston.

Embiid (knee) is available and will start Sunday's Game 4 against Boston.

Embiid was listed as questionable due to a knee sprain that's already cost him two games this postseason, but he'll suit up for a third straight contest. After posting just 15 points and three rebounds in his first appearance following his absence, the MVP was much better in Game 3, posting 30 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal.

Embiid is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Celtics due to a right knee sprain.

Embiid missed Game 1 of the series with his knee injury but has played in the last two contests. The MVP center played 39 minutes in Game 2 and didn't appear limited, so he will likely suit up Sunday unless he suffers a setback.

Embiid ended with 30 points (9-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 114-102 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Embiid led all scorers with 30 points, doing everything he could to steer the 76ers to victory. While his efforts should be applauded, his teammates were unable to rally, eventually falling to a 12-point loss. On a night when he received his MVP trophy, the fans would have been hoping for much more from their team. They will now look to even the series at 2-2 Sunday before heading back to Boston for Game 5.

Embiid (knee) is listed in the starting lineup for Friday's Game 3 versus Boston, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Embiid missed the final matchup of the opening-round series against Brooklyn and Game 1 versus Boston due to a knee sprain, but he returned to action in Game 2 and played 27 minutes during the blowout loss. He drew a questionable tag for Game 3 despite being a full participant in practice, so his availability doesn't come as a surprise. Across four playoff games, the MVP has averaged 18.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 3.0 blocks in 33.8 minutes.

Embiid is questionable for Friday's Game 3 versus the Celtics due to a right knee sprain.

Embiid played 27 minutes in Wednesday's blowout loss after missing the previous two games with a knee injury. However, the MVP center's participation in practice is a good sign of his available Friday. If Embiid is ruled out, Paul Reed will likely draw another start at center.

Coach Doc Rivers said Embiid was a full participant in Thursday's practice but still has a brace on his right knee, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Despite dealing with a right knee sprain, Rivers said the team was pleased with Embiid's physical tracking data in Game 2. His participation in practice is a good sign the MVP center will be available for Friday's Game 3 against Boston.

Embiid ended Wednesday's 121-87 loss to the Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 15 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and five blocks across 27 minutes.

Embiid made his debut in the Conference Semifinals after missing two playoff contests with a knee injury, but the reigning MVP couldn't make an impact as the 76ers suffered a disappointing 34-point defeat. The star big man should be healthy for Game 3 and should deliver a better showing as he shakes off the rust.

Embiid is available and in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game 2 versus the Celtics, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

As expected, Embiid will replace Paul Reed in the starting lineup after missing the previous contest with a right knee sprain. The MVP center was seen with a knee brace in pregame warmups but was moving without any issues. There is no indication that Embiid will be on a minutes restriction.

Embiid (knee) will play in Wednesday's Game 2 versus the Celtics, barring any unexpected setbacks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid has been upgraded from doubtful to available Wednesday after missing Game 1 with a right knee sprain. The MVP center should replace Paul Reed in the starting lineup and is not expected to be on a minutes restriction. Embiid averaged 46.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.5 blocks in 39.5 minutes across his previous two matchups with Boston this season.

Embiid (knee) said he's on track to return to the lineup Wednesday for the 76ers' matchup with the Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals series, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Though the latest official NBA injury report lists Embiid as doubtful for Game 2, the newly-minted 2023 NBA MVP looks like he'll be able to play through his lingering right knee sprain, provided he doesn't experience any setbacks in morning shootaround or pregame warmups leading up to the 8 p.m. ET opening tip. The 76ers were able to steal a win on the road sans Embiid in Game 1 on Sunday, with Paul Reed drawing a second straight start and turning in a double-double (10 points, 13 boards) over 37 minutes. Assuming Embiid is cleared to play Wednesday, he'll likely do so without a hard playing-time restriction.

Embiid (knee) won the 2022-23 NBA Most Valuable Player on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid won the MVP award after finishing as the runner-up in the previous two years. The superstar center averaged 33.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals in 34.6 minutes across 66 games this season, leading the 76ers to a 54-28 record. Embiid is currently dealing with a knee injury that could hold him out of Wednesday's Game 2 versus the Celtics.

Head coach Doc Rivers said Embiid (knee) is still considered doubtful for Wednesday's Game 2 in Boston, but the MVP candidate could be upgraded if he responds well to Tuesday's workout, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid missed the series-clinching Game 4 win over Brooklyn and remained sidelined for Monday's Game 1 victory in Boston due to a knee sprain, but he's doing everything in his power to get back on the court to help his team. He did some light shooting ahead of Monday's game and will go through a skeleton workout Tuesday, and how he responds to those events will be the determining factor in his availability moving forward. An official update on his availability for Game 2 likely won't come until hours before Wednesday's 8 p.m. ET tip-off.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 1 against the Celtics, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid was doubtful ahead of Monday's matchup, so his status doesn't come as a major surprise. However, he did some light shooting at the team's morning shootaround, and there's optimism that the center will be available for Game 2 on Wednesday. Paul Reed will likely see an increased role in Philadelphia's frontcourt Monday.

Embiid (knee) is unlikely to play in Game 1 versus the Celtics on Monday according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Embiid is still officially listed as doubtful, so this isn't a real surprise. Embiid was spotted doing some light shooting at the morning shootaround and Wojnarowski added that there is optimism about his status for Game 2 and beyond. Paul Reed could draw the start in Game 1 versus Boston with James Harden and Tyrese Maxey seeing heavy usage.

Embiid (knee) is officially listed as doubtful for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Celtics on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

As expected, Embiid is unlikely to play in Game 1 after missing the final contest of the opening-round series against the Nets with a right knee sprain. In his expected absence, Paul Reed would presumably draw another start, but James Harden and Tyrese Maxey could see increased usage as Philadelphia's top scoring options. Game 2 will be played Wednesday in Boston, but Embiid's status for that contest remains unclear.

Embiid's right knee injury is considered to be more serious than a Grade 1 LCL sprain but remains doubtful for Monday's Game 1 versus Boston, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Coach Doc Rivers noted that Embiid missed practice once again Saturday as he battles a knee sprain suffered in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Considering Rivers' pessimism and reports of the injury being more severe than initially thought, Embiid may be trending further toward being sidelined for the start of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. If he ends up sitting, Paul Reed would likely draw another start, while James Harden and Tyrese Maxey could see an increase in usage. Fantasy managers should check back in for an official designation closer to Monday's 7:30 ET tipoff.

Head coach Doc Rivers indicated Saturday that he would say Embiid didn't do anything in practice and would label him "doubtful" for Game 1 against the Celtics on Monday if he "was a betting man," Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid's absence from practice certainly doesn't bode well with Game 1 just two days away, and Rivers' comments don't provide an outlook that is any rosier. The team will release its official injury report for the contest Sunday, at which point we'll get an official sense of where his chances of suiting up lie.

Head coach Doc Rivers said Embiid (knee) didn't practice Tuesday, and that the team "won't know anything for at least a couple days," Derek Bodner of DailySix.com reports.

Despite an optimistic report from Shams Charania of The Athletic on Monday, it sounds like the 76ers are going to give the MVP favorite a few days off before determining his status for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Philadelphia will play the winner of the Boston-Atlanta series, which could be closed out by the Celtics on Tuesday.

Embiid (knee) could be back for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Shams added that the 76ers believe Embiid is dealing with a one-week injury and that there is a lot of optimism regarding his status. The 76ers will play the winner of the series between Boston and Atlanta which is currently 3-1 in favor of the Celtics.

Embiid (knee) has a "50 percent at best" chance of being able to play at the start of the Eastern Conference Semifinals according to coach Doc Rivers on Saturday, Derek Bodner of DailySix.com reports.

Embiid missed Saturday's Game 4 series-clinching win over the Nets with a sprained right knee. Though the team initially stated there was some optimism Embiid could be ready to go as soon as the hypothetical Game 5 that was scheduled for Monday, Doc Rivers' statement certainly didn't echo that optimism. However, Embiid will have at least a week to recover from the knee injury before the second round commences. If he is forced to miss more time, expect Paul Reed to continue to start in his place after playing 32 minutes and registering 10 points and 15 rebounds Saturday.

Embiid suffered a sprained right knee and will not be able to play in Game 4 against the Nets on Saturday according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

An MRI confirmed the diagnosis. The 76ers have a comfortable 3-0 series lead, and the good news is that Wojnarowski is reporting that there is optimism he could return as soon as early next week. James Harden and Tyrese Maxey will likely see their usage rate spike without Embiid on the floor, and we could see larger roles for Jalen McDaniels and Paul Reed.

Embiid will be available for Game 4 versus the Nets on Saturday and won't receive any further action from the league regarding his flagrant 1 foul in Game 3, Woj reports.

Embiid received a flagrant 1 foul for kicking Nic Claxton in his groin area after Claxton stepped over him with 9:34 left in the first quarter. After Draymond Green was suspended for his altercation with Domantas Sabonis, there was some speculation Embiid would face a similar punishment. However, the superstar big man should be good to go for Game 4.

Embiid ended with 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Thursday's 102-97 victory over the Nets in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Embiid posted a team-high rebound total and hauled in the most boards of any player in Thursday's Game 3 while posting a double-double outing for Philadelphia. Embiid, who also led the team in blocks, has recorded a double-double in two straight postseason contests.

Embiid racked up 20 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 19 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Monday's 96-84 win over Brooklyn in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Embiid helped Philadelphia to a Game 2 victory Monday by leading the team in rebounds while finishing one board shy of a 20-point and 20-rebound performance at home. Embiid, who also posted a team-high-tying assist total, posted at least 20 points, 15 rebounds and five assists twice during the regular season.

Embiid supplied 26 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-11 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 121-101 win over Brooklyn in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Embiid didn't exactly dominate as he'd done in other games during the regular season. Still, he was very efficient in this one and posted a solid stat line as Philly breezed to victory in the series opener. Embiid led the league in scoring during the regular season and should be the 76ers' go-to player on offense every time they step on the floor.

Embiid (rest) will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nets.

Embiid will end up sitting out the final two games of the regular season ahead of the playoff series against the Nets. The MVP favorite concludes the 2022-23 regular season averaging 33.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals in 34.6 minutes. Dewayne Dedmon, Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed should again see increased run for Sunday's game.

Embiid (rest) won't play Friday against the Hawks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid has only missed two games since the end of January, but he'll sit out Friday as the team has pretty much locked up the number three seed in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers will also be on the second leg of a back-to-back, so it's possible more of the typical starters sit out. Expect Paul Reed and Dewayne Dedmon to both see increased minutes Friday.

Embiid produced 52 points (20-25 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over Boston.

Embiid scored nearly half of his team's points and registered a double-double for the second time in three games. It was also a good sign to see him get involved on the defensive end after going without a steal or block Sunday in Milwaukee. Embiid's performance Tuesday marks his third 50-point performance of the 2022-23 season, as he erupted for 59 points Nov. 13 against Utah and 53 points Dec. 11 against Charlotte.

Embiid racked up 25 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block in 34 minutes during Friday's 117-110 victory over the Raptors.

Embiid was selective yet again on the offensive end and has attempted 30 total shots over his last two contests. This is noticeably down from before he missed a game due to a calf injury, as he'd been averaging 18.9 attempts over his previous 10 matchups. However, he's proven that he's a dangerous scoring threat even when he's dialing back his attempts by putting up 25 points in back-to-back games. Embiid ends March averaging 33.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 blocks over 15 appearances.

Embiid racked up a game-high 25 points (8-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 victory over the Mavericks.

After missing Monday's showdown with Nikola Jokic due to a calf injury, Embiid returned to score at least 25 points for his third straight game and the 13th time in 14 March contests. The veteran center is averaging 33.8 points, 9.3 boards, 4.6 assists, 2.1 blocks, 1.0 threes and 0.9 steals on the month while shooting 58.9 percent from the floor, and with six games remaining on the regular-season schedule, Philly will have to balance any concerns about Embiid's health against the team's chances of catching Boston for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Embiid (calf) will play in Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous game with right calf soreness. The superstar big man should replace Dewayne Dedmon in the starting five. Embiid is averaging 34.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.7 blocks in 32.4 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Embiid (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks.

Embiid has been tabbed as questionable for the last three contests, playing in the first two before sitting out Monday against the Nuggets. The MVP candidate's status should be updated come game day, with Dewayne Dedmon presumably sliding back to the bench if Embiid gets the green light. Given the tight race for the MVP award, Embiid will likely take the floor as often as possible during the stretch run.

Embiid (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Nuggets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid attempted to participate in the 76ers' morning shootaround, but the team opted to shut him down as a precaution. The MVP candidates' absence will mark his first missed game since March 1, but there's been no indication that the issue will cause him to miss multiple contests. Embiid's next chance to suit up will arrive Wednesday against Dallas.

Embiid (calf), who's officially listed as questionable for Monday's matchup in Denver, participated in parts of the 76ers' morning shootaround, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid continues to battle right calf soreness but hasn't missed a game since March 1. Given Monday's matchup isn't part of a back-to-back, it'd be surprising to see the MVP candidate sidelined, but fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm Embiid's availability ahead of the 9:30 p.m. ET tip before locking in their lineups. If Embiid is downgraded to out, Paul Reed and Dewayne Dedmon would be candidates for increased roles in the frontcourt.

Embiid is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to right calf tightness.

Embiid has been on a tear recently, averaging 34.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 33.4 minutes per game over his last 13 appearances. However, he's apparently dealing with a calf issue after posting a double-double Saturday against the Suns, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Monday. If he's sidelined, Paul Reed and Dewayne Dedmon would likely see increased run in the frontcourt.

Embiid racked up 28 points (8-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 loss to the Suns.

Embiid didn't have his best shooting performance Saturday, but such is the case with star players -- they can deliver an excellent stat line even if they're not playing at their best. This was Embiid's fifth double-double since the beginning of the month. He's averaging a robust stat line of 34.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.2 blocks per game since the beginning of March.

Embiid (calf) is available and will start Saturday against the Suns.

Embiid's presence represents a huge boost for the 76ers, as the star big man is their leader on both ends of the court. Embiid has been dominant in recent weeks and is averaging 35.0 points with 9.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.2 blocks per game across 12 March outings.

Embiid sports a questionable designation for Saturday's game versus the Suns due to right calf tightness.

It's unclear if Embiid is truly dealign with an injury concern or if he's potentially just in line for a rest day in the second game of a back-to-back set, but the MVP candidate's status is certainly in question either way. The Sixers should update his status prior to the 10 p.m. ET opening tipoff, with P.J. Tucker likely sliding to the five if he can't go and Jalen McDaniels (hip) potentially slotting into the starting unit if available.

Embiid (calf) produced 46 points (13-23 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 19-22 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 120-112 loss to the Warriors.

Embiid dominated the Warriors' frontcourt all game long, but it wasn't enough as the Warriors' three-point shooting outpaced the 76ers' offense. The MVP candidate left Philadelphia's previous contest at halftime due to a calf injury, but he showed no signs of any limitations en route to his highest-scoring outing since Jan. 28. Across 12 March appearances, Embiid is averaging 35.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.0 steals with 61/36/84 shooting splits.

Embiid (calf) is starting against the Warriors on Friday.

Embiid was held out of the second half of Wednesday's game as a precaution, and he was trending in the right direction prior to this update by going through the morning shootaround. Look for Embiid's usage to be through the roof again with James Harden (Achilles) sitting again.

Embiid (calf) took part in shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Warriors, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid is listed as questionable for Friday's game due to a calf injury that kept him out of the second half of Wednesday's win. His participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability, but Paul Reed will likely see an expanded role if Embiid doesn't suit up.

Embiid (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Golden State.

Embiid only played in one-half of Wednesday's blowout win over the Bulls after experiencing mild right calf tightness and was previously expected to play Friday before being tabbed questionable. With Friday's contest the opening leg of a back-to-back set, the 76ers could opt to give Embiid the night off. However, Philadelphia is just three games back of No. 1 seed in the East and has the Warriors, Suns, Nuggets and Mavericks upcoming, so they could be incentivized to play the reigning MVP runner-up. If he misses Friday's tilt, Paul Reed would likely step into the starting lineup.

Embiid is likely to play in Friday's game against Golden State due to mild right calf tightness, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Embiid didn't play in the second half of Wednesday's blowout of the Bulls due to the "score differential" as the 76ers led 76-48 at the break. However, the team revealed after the contest that Embiid was dealing with right calf pain. Regardless, it would be a surprise if Embiid wasn't on the hardwood for tipoff Friday.

Embiid won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Bulls due to the "score differential", Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Embiid exited Wednesday's game at halftime with the Sixers leading 76-48. The superstar center had tallied 12 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block in 16 minutes. Embiid should be good to go for Friday's game versus the Warriors, as the 76ers are likely just ensuring their MVP-caliber center doesn't pick up a garbage-time injury in the blowout.

Embiid recorded 37 points (11-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 15-17 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 44 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 109-105 double-overtime loss to Chicago.

The Sixers are in the thick of the race for the top seed in the Eastern Conference, and Embiid's recent play is a big reason why. The perennial MVP candidate has scored more than 30 points in 10 straight games, averaging a massive 36.2 points, 9.5 boards, 4.3 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.1 threes over that stretch while shooting 61.3 percent from the floor and an impressive 42.3 percent (11-for-26) from three-point range.

Embiid amassed 31 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-13 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two blocks across 30 minutes during Saturday's 141-121 win over the Pacers.

Embiid continues to dominate opponents down the stretch as the sixers have now won eight consecutive games on their quest for a top seed in the East. He has posted 30 points in nine straight games and has seemingly inserted his name as the front-runner for league MVP. He will get Chicago Monday in his first of four contests next week.

Embiid posted 38 points (16-21 FG, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and four blocks across 29 minutes during Friday's 121-82 win over the Hornets.

Embiid was a class above in the victory, completely dominating on both ends of the floor. The 76ers took control of this one early, meaning Embiid was able to get some additional rest down the stretch. In what has been a career-best season, Embiid finds himself well and truly in the discussion for MVP, an accolade that would certainly be well-deserved. Sneaking a peek into next season, there is no reason Embiid won't be a top-3 target once again come draft season.

Embiid amassed 36 points (12-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists and four blocks over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 118-109 victory over the Cavaliers.

The big man entered Wednesday's contest on a six-game run of 30 plus points scored, and continued his dominance against Cleveland. Embiid was a difference maker early and often, as the Cavaliers had no answer for The Process. He is on pace to finish with career highs in points per game (33.4) while shooting a career high 54 percent from the field. As Philadelphia continues their push for a top-two seed in the East, Embiid will continue to be relied on heavily for fantasy managers throughout the fantasy playoffs.

Embiid finished with 34 points (12-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 112-93 win over the Wizards.

Embiid led the 76ers in scoring, rebounds and blocks while finishing just two rebounds shy of a double-double in Sunday's victory. Embiid has scored at least 30 points with five or more rebounds 40 times this season, including in six straight outings.

Embiid supplied 39 points (13-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 13-18 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Friday's 120-119 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Embiid shot the ball well and got to the charity stripe with ease in a one-point win. He's now scored 39 points in back-to-back matchups and continues to prove why he's one of the most valuable members of any fantasy squad with his production on the defensive end. Embiid is averaging 35.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks over his last six games.

Embiid finished Tuesday's 117-94 win over Minnesota with 39 points (13-22 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes.

Embiid was in total control Tuesday, having his way with Rudy Gobert in what was another dominant performance. Embiid has been fantastic again this season, putting up elite fantasy value on a nightly basis. While there is a chance he gets some additional rest down the stretch, he has managed to remain relatively healthy and should be able to continue as a top-5 player ROS.

Embiid notched 42 points (11-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 19-19 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Monday's 147-143 win over the Pacers.

For the 11th time this season Embiid posted a 40-point night. He lived at the line, attempting 19 free throws and making all of them. Embiid forced the Pacers to use three centers, as Myles Turner fouled out in 17 minutes. The Sixers' center pitched in defensively with a couple of steals and a block. The only downside is Embiid failed to reach 10 rebounds in his third straight game.

Embiid racked up 31 points (11-22 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-10 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's 133-130 victory over Milwaukee.

Embiid's stellar outing helped the Sixers snap Milwaukee's 16-game win streak, and he again showed no ill effects from the foot injury that sidelined him for a game last week. Although the All-Star failed to log double-digit rebounds for the second consecutive game, his shot was on point once again. Since his return to action, Embiid has converted 55.5 percent of his shots as well as a 50-percent conversion rate beyond the arc.

Embiid totaled 35 points (13-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-13 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 loss to Dallas.

Embiid returned to the lineup after missing the previous game due to a foot issue, ending with a team-high 35 points in 36 minutes. While any injury is always going to cause some concern for anyone rostering Embbid, this was perhaps as simple as the coaching staff playing it safe on a back-to-back set. The 76ers have another back-to-back next week, so managers will want to keep an eye on the injury report once again.

Embiid (foot) will play in Thursday's game against the Mavericks.

As expected, Embiid will suit up for the closing leg of the teams' back-to-back set Friday after sitting out Thursday with left foot soreness. He should handle his usual workload. In his last 13 games, Embiid has averaged 32.0 points and 12.2 rebounds across 35.8 minutes.

Embiid (foot) is probable for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.

Embiid is expected to play Thursday after missing the previous game with a nagging foot injury. The star big man's return will likely send Tyrese Maxey back to the bench. Embiid is a must-start in all fantasy formats, as he is averaging 29.4 points, 12.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.2 blocks in 36.6 minutes across his last five appearances.

Embiid (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Heat, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.

This left foot issue has been plaguing Embiid for most of the season, so he'll be skipping the first leg of this back-to-back set. Montrezl Harrell could be headed for a spot start tonight, and there should be more minutes available for Paul Reed and Georges Niang. James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris should all see a spike in usage Wednesday evening. For now, Embiid should be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Dallas.

Embiid is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat due to left foot soreness.

Embiid continues to deal with left foot soreness, but he's missed just one game over Philadelphia's past 21 contests. During that stretch, he's averaging 32.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals in 34.6 minutes, so if he's available, the MVP candidate shouldn't face any limitations. If he's sidelined, Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell would be candidates for increased minutes.

Embiid ended Monday's 101-99 loss to the Heat with 27 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block in 34 minutes.

That's four straight double-doubles for Embiid and 32 on the season, tying him for sixth in the NBA with Jonas Valanciunas. The Sixers center has yet to score under 20 points in a game in 2023, averaging 32.8 points, 11.2 boards, 3.5 assists, 1.5 blocks, 1.0 threes and 1.0 steals through 21 games since the beginning of January while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor.

Embiid ended with 41 points (12-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 17-18 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 40 minutes during Saturday's 110-107 loss to the Celtics.

Embiid was efficient throughout the contest, going 6-of-11 for 20 points in the first half before knocking down another six shots on 10 attempts over the final two quarters to notch a game-high 41 points on the night. He added 12 boards, eight of which came in the second half while also leading all players with three blocks. The big man now has nine blocks in his last two games, though he's gone 0-of-8 from beyond the arc over his last three.

Embiid accumulated 27 points (7-25 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 13-17 FT), 19 rebounds, six assists, six blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Thursday's 110-105 victory over Memphis.

Embiid was unable to knock down an attempt from beyond the arc, but he still managed to finish the night with 27 points by getting to the charity stripe with ease. He's now attempted double-digit free throws in four of his last five contests. Embiid also had a huge night crashing the glass, securing a season-best 19 rebounds in the win.

Embiid is part of the 76ers' starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Embiid had been dealing with a non-COVID illness over the past few days and didn't participate in Thursday's shootaround, but he will in fact be available for the contest. Although he should be expected to handle his full workload, he may fall short of his usual production given he isn't 100 percent healthy.

Embiid is dealing with a non-COVID illness, but he's still expected to play Thursday versus Memphis, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Per Bontemps, Embiid scrimmaged with the team Wednesday, but he didn't participate in Thursday's morning shootaround. As of now, there doesn't appear to be any concern that the MVP candidate will miss the contest, but his production and usage may take a hit. Fantasy managers are encouraged to monitor Embiid's status closely ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET tip.

Embiid had 29 points (9-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 118-112 win over Cleveland.

Embiid closes the first half of the season with another dominant performance, and the star big man continues to be an asset for the Sixers on both ends of the floor. Embiid has six double-doubles across eight February appearances, and he enters the All-Star break averaging 30.5 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game this month.

Embiid (foot) will play in Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Embiid has battled lingering soreness in his left foot, but will give it a go for the final game before the All-Star break. In his last nine appearances, Embiid has averaged 32.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks across 35.0 minutes.

Embiid (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Cavaliers.

Embiid remains plagued by left foot soreness, though he's appeared in 10 straight games with averages of 31.8 points, 11.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.5 steals in 35.0 minutes. If he sits out for the 76ers' final game before the All-Star break, more minutes could be in store for Paul Reed, Montrezl Harrell and newly-signed Dewayne Dedmon.

Embiid recorded 23 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 123-104 victory over Houston.

Embiid played through a questionable tag due to left foot soreness. His workloads have been very high lately with at least 36 minutes played in four of his last five games, but fortunately the 76ers don't have any back-to-backs coming up until March 1. He'll get a difficult matchup against a Cleveland team Wednesday that has won seven straight games.

Embiid (foot) is active for Monday's contest against the Rockets, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

After being uncertain due to a lingering foot injury, the All-Star center will officially make his 10th straight appearance for Philadelphia. In his first 15 appearances since the start of 2023, Embiid is averaging 33.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks across 33.9 minutes per game.

Embiid, who's officially listed as questionable with left foot soreness, participated in Philadelphia's morning shootaround ahead of Monday's matchup against the Rockets, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid continues to battle the foot issue, but he's played in nine straight contests and is trending in the right direction Monday. Over that nine-game stretch, the MVP candidate is averaging 32.8 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.6 blocks-plus-steals in 35.4 minutes and has failed to log a double-double in just one of those contests. Barring a setback during warmups, Embiid will likely suit up against Houston, but fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm his status ahead of the 7 p.m. ET tip.

Embiid (foot) is being listed as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Rockets.

The 76ers have listed Embiid as questionable a ton this season, and while he typically does wind up playing, it wouldn't be shocking to see him skip a matchup against the 13-43 Rockets. If he does decide to sit that one out, Montrezl Harrell could get the start and there would be more minutes available for Georges Niang.

Embiid closed Saturday's 101-98 victory over the Nets with 37 points (12-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 37 minutes.

Embiid played on the second night of a back-to-back despite dealing with an ongoing foot issue, carrying the 76ers to a hard-fought victory. Trailing for much of the contest, Embiid and James Harden took over down the stretch, ensuring the team remains in the third seed in the Eastern Conference. Currently the third-ranked player in nine-category formats, Embiid is a lock to end the season as a top-5 player, barring injury of course.

Embiid (foot) is available for Saturday's clash with the Nets.

Despite the Sixers playing in a back-to-back set, Embiid will take the floor in both ends, looking to follow up his efficient 14-of-18 effort from the field Friday with another strong performance in Brooklyn on Saturday. He'll face a new-look Nets lineup with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving gone, but Nic Claxton will be available to oppose Embiid.

Embiid is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets due to left foot soreness.

Embiid popped up on the injury report Saturday for the tail end of a back-to-back set with soreness in his left foot. Although Embiid has played in both ends of four of the Sixers' five back-to-backs this season, he could be more likely to sit considering Brooklyn may be without Cameron Johnson (recently traded), Mikal Bridges (recently traded) and Nic Claxton (hamstring) for the contest. If that were to be the case, Paul Reed and Montezl Harrell would be in line for more minutes at the five.

Embiid recorded 35 points (14-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 119-108 win over the Knicks.

Embiid continues to dominate for the 76ers and fantasy managers alike. Embiid's double-double Friday makes his seventh over his last ten contests and marks his 27th of the season so far. Embiid sits second in the MVP odds at this point in the season behind back-to-back winner Nikola Jokic. He is a top-5 fantasy option, regardless of position.

Embiid (foot) is available for Friday's game versus the Knicks.

Embiid has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite a nagging foot injury. The star big man is averaging 30.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 34.2 minutes across his last five outings.

Embiid (foot) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Knicks.

Embiid continues to deal with persistent foot soreness and may sit out on the front half of the 76ers' Friday-Saturday back-to-back against the Knicks and Nets. If Embiid is out, Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed could see increased roles.

Embiid recorded 28 points (11-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 106-99 loss to the Celtics.

Embiid failed to reach the 30-point threshold just for the third time since the beginning of January, which goes to show just how dominant he has been over the last few weeks. The star big man is averaging 33.1 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game over his last 10 contests while shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from deep, numbers that do nothing but boost his MVP chances.

Embiid has been dealing with lingering soreness in his left foot but has managed to play through the issue and will do so again Wednesday. Across his last five games, Embiid has averaged 33.8 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 34.0 minutes.

Embiid (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Boston.

Embiid has been listed as questionable for the past six games, but he continues to play through the pain in his left foot, and it would be surprising to see him skip a game at TD Garden. However, if he is forced to the sidelines, that would likely result in a spot-start for Montrezl Harrell and more minutes for Georges Niang.

Embiid ended Sunday's 108-97 loss to the Knicks with 31 points (6-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 18-19 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and one block over 36 minutes.

Embiid was far from being effective from the field Sunday, but he still posted an excellent fantasy line, and most of his scoring came through his efficiency at the free throw line, missing just of his 19 attempts. This shows just how dominant Embiid can be even with a subpar performance. He's scored at least 30 points in all but two of his outings since the start of January while shooting 53.8 percent from the field, 41.3 percent from deep and 87.9 percent from the free throw line across those 13 outings.

Embiid (foot) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Knicks.

Embiid was listed as questionable due to left foot soreness, but he was never really in danger of missing the contest, as he's appeared in five straight games despite the lingering issue.

Embiid is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Knicks due to left foot soreness.

Embiid's persistent left foot soreness continues, but he's appeared in five straight games. During this stretch, he's averaged 32.8 points, 12.0 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.8 minutes. If the MVP candidate sits out, more minutes should be in store for Montrezl Harrell, Paul Reed and other frontcourt players.

Embiid had 33 points (10-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 137-125 victory over the Spurs.

Embiid played through a questionable tag because of some left foot soreness, but he's been very durable lately with one missed game in January. He has also been red hot in fantasy basketball, posting 33.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers in his previous 10 games.

Embiid will start against the Spurs on Friday after carrying a questionable tag due to left foot soreness.

Embiid has been logging heavy minutes in recent games, so there was always a decent chance that the 76ers would consider holding him out. Friday marks the beginning of a 3-game road trip for the 76ers as Embiid looks to extend his double-double streak to five games.

Embiid is questionable for Friday's game versus San Antonio due to left foot soreness.

Embiid has received questionable tags before being upgraded to available in each of his last four games due to a nagging foot injury. If he's unable to suit up Friday, Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed will likely receive extended minutes.

Joel Embiid (foot) will play on Wednesday vs. the Magic, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Embiid will continue to push through the pain with his foot issue, but he should see his usual minutes tonight and he'll draw a favorable matchup against the Magic.

Embiid is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Magic due to left foot soreness.

Embiid continues to deal with left foot soreness and is listed as questionable for a fourth straight game. However, he's suited up in each of Philadelphia's previous three contests after sitting out a Jan. 21 win over the Kings due to the issue. Over nine appearances since returning from a three-game absence, the MVP candidate is averaging 34.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals in 32.9 minutes per contest. However, if he's held out again Wednesday, Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed would be candidates for increased roles.

Embiid finished with 30 points (11-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-11 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 119-109 loss to the Magic.

It's the ninth time through 10 games in January that Embiid has scored at least 30 points, and his low-water mark on the month is a mere 26. The MVP candidate also has three straight double-doubles to give him 23 on the season, and in those 10 games to begin 2023, Embiid is averaging 34.9 points, 10.7 boards, 3.2 assists, 1.6 threes, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals while shooting 54.9 percent from the floor, 42.1 percent from three-point range and 86.1 percent from the free-throw line.

Embiid (foot) is starting Monday's contest against the Magic.

After being viewed as a game-time decision, Embiid will officially suit up Monday against the Magic. The 28-year-old center is averaging 36.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks across 35.0 minutes over his past five showings.

Embiid (foot) participated in the 76ers' morning shootaround but remains questionable, and his official availability won't be known until he goes through pregame warmups, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid has missed four contests in January due to left foot soreness and is listed as questionable for a third straight game. Despite the injury designations, the MVP candidate ultimately suited up in Philadelphia's past two contests and posted double-doubles in each of those appearances, including a ridiculous 47-point, 18-rebound performance against the Nuggets on Saturday. It doesn't appear like the lingering issue is a major concern, but the 76ers will presumably continue playing it cautiously, which may mean Embiid periodically sitting out to mange his workload.

Embiid is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Magic due to left foot soreness.

Embiid showed why he's an MVP candidate Saturday, posting 47 points (18-31 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks across 38 minutes in a win over Denver. However, the star big man continues to battle left foot soreness, which has cost him four games in January, and may have his workload managed again Monday. If that's the case, Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed would be candidates for expanded roles.

Embiid racked up 47 points (18-31 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 win over the Nuggets.

In a showdown with Nikola Jokic, Embiid nearly doubled his Denver counterpart's point total while thoroughly dominating on the glass. It was Embiid's 22nd double-double on the season and his best rebounding total since the final game of the 2021-22 regular season, when he pulled down 20 boards against the Pacers. The four made threes were also his best performance from beyond the arc since Feb. 12 of last year. The 28-year-old center has missed four games this month due to foot issues, but when he's been on the court, Embiid has averaged 35.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.6 blocks over nine January contests.

Embiid (foot) will play and start Saturday's game versus the Nuggets.

Embiid was listed as questionable for Saturday's contest with soreness in his left foot, but he will indeed maintain his spot on the floor and in the starting five. Embiid will aim to crack the 30-point barrier again after missing the threshold for the first time in his last eight appearances Wednesday versus the Nets.

Embiid (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Embiid recently missed a game due to a sore left foot, but he returned to action Wednesday and posted a 26-point, 10-rebound double-double. It appears the issue is still bothering him and could sideline him for another contest, but there's been no reports about the MVP candidate suffering a setback, suggesting the injury is minor. However, if Philadelphia plays it cautious and keeps Embiid out, Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed would be candidates for increased playing time again.

Embiid had 26 points (6-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 13-13 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 137-133 win over the Nets.

Embiid only connected on six of 18 field goal attempts in the contest but made up for it by going 13-of-13 from the free-throw line as the Sixers hung on to win their sixth straight. Embiid added a team-high 10 rebounds in the contest while finishing second on the team in scoring with 26 points. The double-double was his 21st of the season and fifth in eight games this month.

Embiid (foot) will start Wednesday's game against the Nets, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid will return to action Wednesday following a one-game absence due to a sore left foot. Over his past six appearances, the MVP candidate has averaged 34.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 blocks in 31.7 minutes per game. Embiid's presence will push Montrezl Harrell to the bench.

Embiid (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets.

Embiid didn't practice much Tuesday after resting his sore left foot during Sunday's win over the Kings, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if the star center sits out again Wednesday. If that's the case, Montrezl Harrell would presumably draw another start.

Embiid (foot) didn't participate much in Tuesday's practice, and his status for Wednesday versus the Nets is uncertain, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.

Embiid rested his bothersome left foot during Sunday's game against the Kings, and it seems likely he's bound for a similar outcome Wednesday. The team's injury report later in the day should shed more light on his status for the contest, but a questionable designation seems most likely.

Embiid (foot) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Kings, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.

As expected, Embiid won't play Saturday, meaning the Sixers won't have their two most prominent names with James Harden (foot) unavailable as well. Montrezl Harrell will get the start nod over Embiid, who should be able to return Wednesday against the Nets.

Embiid is questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings due to left foot injury recovery.

Embiid joins James Harden (foot) as questionable Saturday, so the 76ers could be quite shorthanded. If Embiid sits, more minutes may be in store for Montrezl Harrell, Paul Reed and other frontcourt players.

Embiid racked up 32 points (12-22 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 105-95 win over the Trail Blazers.

Embiid led all scorers with 32 points in the contest, marking his seventh straight performance of 30-plus points. The star center also finished second on Philadelphia with nine boards, falling just shy of his 21st double-double. Embiid has been the third-best fantasy producer in nine-category leagues on a per-game basis this season, averaging a career-high 33.6 points, 9.8 boards, 4.2 assists, 1.1 three-pointers, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals over 34 contests.

Embiid had 41 points (12-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 15-18 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-110 win over the Clippers.

The hits keep coming for Embiid, as he's now logged six consecutive games wirth 30-plus points. He scored 26 points in the first half and allowed the Clippers to get back in the game while he rested, but Philly's bench answered with a run that preserved the lead Embiid had created.

Embiid logged 35 points (12-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 113-112 win over the Lakers.

Embiid was the focal point of the final play, stifling Russell Westbrook as he drove to the hoop and attempted a layup to win the game. Embiid's four games after a three-game absence have been nothing short of spectacular, averaging 32.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks over that span.

Embiid provided 30 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block in 28 minutes during Thursday's 133-114 loss to the Thunder.

Embiid led the 76ers in scoring, shots made and rebounds while posting his fourth straight double-double. Embiid has posted at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in 13 games this year.

Back on the court after missing the prior three games due to a foot injury, Embiid led all scorers in a dominant performance -- in fact, no one else on either club scored more than 17. The double-double was his 18th in 29 games, and the 28-year-old center continues to take aim at a remarkable franchise record, as his 33.6 points per game would top the 33.5 PPG set by the legendary Wilt Chamberlain in 1965-66.

Embiid (foot) will start Tuesday's game versus the Pistons.

Embiid will resume his duties as the team's starting big man after working his way back from some left foot soreness over the last few games. He figures to play as much as his foot allows, while Montrezl Harrell will shift back to the bench and presumably see his role shrink.

Head coach Doc Rivers relayed Tuesday that Embiid (foot) will likely take the floor in the evening's tilt versus the Pistons, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Embiid's presence at shootaround earlier in the day foreshadowed a return to action following a three-game absence. Rivers has now furthered that notion leading up to the 7 PM ET opening tip, though the team should confirm his status before then. Embiid will presumably retake his spot in the starting unit, sending Montrezl Harrell back to the bench.

Embiid, who's listed as questionable due to a foot injury, participated in the team's morning shootaround ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Pistons, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid has missed three straight games due to a foot injury, but it appears like he's getting closer to a return. His official availability likely won't be released until pregame warmups, but the MVP candidate is trending in the right direction. Before his absence, he'd scored at least 20 points in 14 of his past 16 contests, posting 34.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals in 35.4 minutes per game during that stretch.

Embiid (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Detroit.

Embiid has missed the last three games due to a sore left foot, but he'll be in the mix to return against the Pistons. If he's unavailable once again Tuesday, Montreal Harrell and Paul Reed would likely continue to see increased run.

Embiid (foot) is out for Sunday's game versus the Pistons, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Coach Doc Rivers revealed Friday that Embiid (foot) is "doing better," but he also conceded he's uncertain how long Embiid will be sidelined, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Per Rivers, there is no long-term concern for Embiid, but it doesn't sound like his return is imminent either. The team will likely take all necessary precautions with the big man, who portions of previous seasons due to injury, to avoid anything developing into a longer-term concern. In the interim, Montrezl Harrell is a candidate to see additional run, while P.J. Tucker may also see more time at center when the Sixers go with a small lineup.

Embiid (foot) is out for Friday's game versus the Bulls.

Embiid will miss his second straight game Friday due to left foot soreness. Tyrese Maxey was inserted into the starting lineup, and Montrezl Harrell received extended minutes in his absence. Embiid's next chance to play is Sunday's matchup versus Detroit.

Embiid (foot) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

Embiid is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to left foot soreness.

Embiid was considered a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to low back soreness, but he played through the issue and posted 42 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block in 36 minutes. He was a late addition to Wednesday's injury report, he's in jeopardy of missing his first game since late November. The 28-year-old will presumably be monitored during pregame warmups before the 76ers determine his status.

Embiid (back) is available Monday against the Pelicans, Lauren Rosen of the 76ers' official site reports.

Embiid was a game-time decision Monday due to low back soreness, but he'll be able to play through the issue against New Orleans. He's scored at least 35 points in four of his last five appearances and has averaged 36.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 34.0 minutes per game during that time.

Embiid (back) is a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid experienced back soreness during Saturday's game against the Thunder and was a late addition to Monday's injury report with a questionable designation. The 76ers will presumably monitor him during pregame warmups before determining his status for Monday's matchup.

Embiid is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to low back soreness.

Embiid was a late addition to the injury report Monday morning with low back soreness. Last time out, the superstar big man posted his first triple-double of the year but tied his season-low with just 28 minutes played. His lack of playing time was initially thought to be due to Philadelphia's large lead over the Thunder on Saturday, but it may have been something more. Either way, fantasy managers are encouraged to monitor Embiid's status ahead of Monday's 7:00 PM ET tipoff before locking the MVP candidate in lineups.

Embiid racked up 16 points (6-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, four blocks and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 115-96 victory over the Thunder.

Embiid played more of a playmaking role Saturday, delivering his first triple-double of the season. With James Harden a late scratch due to a foot issue, it was Embiid who took it upon himself to shoulder the load. It was really just another highlight in a season full of highlights, with Embiid seemingly locked in as a top-five player ROS.

Embiid notched 48 points (17-32 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 13-14 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 116-111 loss to the Wizards.

The dominant play continued for Embiid Tuesday night, and he now leads the league in scoring with 33.7 points per game. The perennial All-Star came up just two points shy of his third 50-point game of the season. He also recorded his seventh double-double in the month of December while going a fantastic 13-for-14 from the line.

Embiid provided 35 points (12-22 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-15 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Sunday's 119-112 win over the Knicks.

Embiid put up 16 points and secured two rebounds in the first half of Sunday's matchup, and he played some of his best basketball in the third quarter. He totaled 15 points on 6-for-9 from the field and added three boards in 10 minutes of play. Embiid is now averaging 32.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks over his last five appearances.

Embiid chipped in 44 points (18-30 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 119-114 win over the Clippers.

Another game, another dominant performance from the star big man, who has taken his game to a whole new level in December. He's played in every game for the 76ers in December, which is an accomplishment given his injury woes, and he has scored at least 22 points in each of those contests while putting up 30 or more in all but two in that span of nine games. Embiid could be a candidate to win the Player of the Month award after putting up 36.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals per game across nine December contests.

Embiid ended Wednesday's 113-93 win over the Pistons with 22 points (6-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and four blocks in 34 minutes.

The All-Star center saw his streak of games with more than 30 points end at six thanks to one missed bucket, but Embiid was still plenty productive. He's recorded five double-doubles over his last seven games, and since returning from a foot injury in late November he's averaging 34.1 points, 9.7 boards, 4.7 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 threes while shooting 54.0 percent from the floor and an eye-popping 55.0 percent from three-point range (11-for-20).

Embiid accumulated 34 points (11-23 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and four steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 118-106 win over the Warriors.

Embiid has been nearly unstoppable this season and has been one of the most dominant offensive forces in the league when healthy. Even though Kevon Looney did everything he could to stop him, Embiid still reached the 30-point plateau for the sixth straight contest, and he also has four double-doubles in that span. He's averaging 38.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per game across six December appearances.

Embiid closed with 31 points (10-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 11-13 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 123-103 win over the Kings.

The Sixers took a massive 80-55 lead into halftime, and Embiid wound up leading the team in scoring as they cruised to a victory. The All-Star center has poured in at least 30 points in five straight games and 10 of his last 11, a hot streak only interrupted by a four-game absence due to a foot injury.

Embiid compiled 53 points (20-32 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 12 rebounds, three rebounds and a block in 35 minutes in Sunday's 131-113 win over Charlotte.

Embiid scored in double-figures in three different quarters, including scoring 20 points in the second period. It was his fourth straight game scoring at least 35 points and the 10th time in his last 12 games that he's scored at least 30. He's averaging nearly a point per minute this season with 33.4 points in 35.8 minutes per contest. The 53 points were not a season-high as he scored 59 against Utah on Nov. 13.

Embiid had 38 points (14-19 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 46 minutes during Friday's 133-122 overtime victory over the Lakers.

Embiid faced little resistance throughout Friday's matchup, especially in the early going. He scored 20 of his 38 points in the first quarter, knocking down eight of nine attempts from the field including a pair of triples in the first 12 minutes of action. Embiid has reached the 30-point threshold in nine of his last 11 matchups, averaging 35.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.9 blocks during this impressive run.

Embiid amassed 39 points (12-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 14-17 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 132-123 double-overtime loss to the Rockets.

Embiid took full advantage of an outmatched Houston frontcourt, turning in another masterful display, albeit in a losing effort. With the 76ers starting to get their guys back on the floor, this would certainly have been penciled in as a victory earlier in the day. Result aside, Embiid was tremendous again, continuing what has been a strong start to the season. He currently sits as the 7th-ranked player in standard leagues, a position he should be able to maintain moving forward.

Embiid notched 35 points (13-26 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Friday's 117-109 loss to the Grizzlies.

For the second time in his past four games, Embiid supplied 30-plus points in a loss. Although his booms aren't always translating to Philadelphia wins, the impending return of James Harden (foot) should make life easier for Embiid.

Embiid compiled 19 points (6-16 FG, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals in 29 minutes in Wednesday's 113-85 loss in Cleveland.

Embiid led the team in scoring and was one of two 76ers to score in double-digits. With Philadelphia losing by 24 points entering the final quarter, Embiid sat out the entire period. It was just the second time all season -- and first since Oct. 20 -- that the 28-year-old scored less than 20 points.

Embiid notched 30 points (9-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 12-13 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 104-101 win over the Hawks.

Embiid shot 50.0 percent from the field and finished with an impressive stat line across the board after missing his team's last four contests due to a sprained right foot. The big man has been playing at an MVP level so far this season, averaging 32.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.8 blocks through 13 matchups.

Embiid (foot) has been upgraded to active and will start Monday's game against Atlanta.

Embiid returns after missing four contests. He's averaging 32.3 points, 10.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 12 games this season.

Embiid (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Embiid has missed the last four games due to a sprained right foot but will have a chance to return for the second half of a back-to-back set Monday. Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed should continue to see increased run if Embiid remains out.

Embiid (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic.

Embiid will miss his fourth straight game due to a left foot sprain Sunday. Embiid's next opportunity to play will be Monday's game against the Hawks. Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed should continue to receive extended frontcourt minutes in his absence.

Embiid (foot) won't play in Friday's game versus the Magic.

Embiid will skip his third consecutive game as he recovers from a bothersome left foot sprain. Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell have been the primary beneficiaries in terms of minutes during Embiid's absence and should see added run again Friday.

Embiid has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nets and Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to a left midfoot sprain, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

It's unclear when exactly Embiid sustained the injury, as he still managed 32 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in Saturday's loss to the Timberwolves. Nonetheless, it appears the 76ers expect to be without their star big man for the upcoming back-to-back set, so his next chance to return to the court will arrive Friday against the Magic. Paul Reed, Montrezl Harrell and Georges Niang are candidates to see increased run in the frontcourt until Embiid returns.

Embiid totaled 32 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 18-20 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 112-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

Embiid was his usual stellar self on offense Saturday, racking up 16 first-half points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field to go along with four rebounds and four assists. He knocked down just two more shots in the second half on eight attempts, but still contributed another 16 points to give him a game-high 32 on the night after going 11-of-12 at the foul line. Despite scoring over 30 points for the fourth consecutive game, Embiid's effort would still fall short as Philadelphia snapped its three-game winning streak against Minnesota. The 76ers big man shot 20 free throws in the contest, his second-highest free-throw total of the season while also grabbing a season-high three steals.

Embiid recorded 32 points (12-26 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 110-102 victory over the Bucks.

Embiid couldn't repeat his career-best performance against the Jazz in which he sniffed a rare quadruple-double, but he delivered another monster stat line Friday while also ending just two assists away from posting what would've been his first triple-double of the campaign. Embiid has been on fire since returning from a three-game absence in late October and early November, as he's recorded five double-doubles in a row while averaging 38.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.8 blocks and 0.8 steals per game in that span.

Embiid chipped in 59 points (19-28 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 20-24 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, seven blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Sunday's game against Utah.

Embiid turned in the best individual scoring performance by a player so far this season in an efficient fashion. While he didn't find much success from three, he absolutely cleaned up at the charity stripe where he scored just over a third of his points. Embiid also set a new season high in blocks with seven, a number that is typically unheard of in today's game. The big man has been unstoppable to start the month of November, averaging 40.0 points, 11.0 points, 5.3 assists and 2.8 blocks (four games).

Embiid (ankle) is not listed in the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jazz.

Embiid acknowledged he tweaked his ankle in the first half of Saturday's matchup against the Hawks, a game in which he ended with 42 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, and while he was originally deemed as questionable, in the end, he should be able to suit up. Expect him to handle his normal workload as Philadelphia's go-to man on offense.

Embiid finished with 42 points (14-25 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 13-16 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 40 minutes during Saturday's 121-109 victory over the Hawks.

Embiid had his way with Clint Capela, going off for a season-high 42 points. He added production across all other categories, rounding out a stellar performance. It has been a relatively slow start to the season given the lofty expectations. He sits just inside the top 25 but has been a first-round player over the past week. Barring injuries, Embiid should be able to build off this performance moving forward, especially until James Harden returns from his foot injury.

Embiid logged 26 points (9-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 104-95 loss to the Hawks.

Embiid tied Trae Young with a game-high 26 points but didn't get much help from his supporting cast, as only two other 76ers players scored in double figures on the night. The Philadelphia big man racked up 17 points in the first half on 6-of-9 shooting from the field before going just 3-of-9 over the final two quarters, including 1-of-6 in the fourth as the 76ers fell to the Hawks. Embiid has now recorded 25 or more points in six straight games while his eight turnovers on the evening were a season-high.

Embiid produced 33 points (8-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 16-16 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one block across 37 minutes during Monday's 100-88 win over the Suns.

Embiid returned from a three-game absence due to a non-COVID illness but it didn't look as if that had been the case, as he carried the team offensively, recorded his fourth double-double (in seven appearances) and also excelled as a passing threat with five dimes, tying his season-best output so far. Embiid has now scored at least 30 points in three of his last five games and the Sixers need him at his best, especially with James Harden (foot) out and Tyrese Maxey showing some signs of inconsistency at times.

Embiid (illness) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against Phoenix, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Embiid has been sidelined for his team's last three contests while battling a non-COVID illness, but he made it through Monday shootaround without issue and has since been given the green light. The big man is averaging 27.2 points, 9.5 boards, 3.3 assists and 1.2 blocks over six games so far this season.

Embiid (illness) was a full participant during Monday's shootaround, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid has missed the last three games due to a non-COVID illness and remains questionable for Monday's matchup against the Suns. However, his full participation in shootaround is certainly encouraging, especially after coach Doc Rivers said Sunday that he's optimistic Embiid will play Monday. The 28-year-old will presumably be monitored ahead of tipoff, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to action against Phoenix.

Embiid (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.

Embiid has missed three straight games due to a non-COVID illness, but he could return to action Monday. Coach Doc Rivers said the star big man practiced Sunday and has a "75 percent chance" of being available against the Suns, so it appears like Embiid is more probable than questionable. Regardless, fantasy managers likely won't know Embiid's official availability until closer to Monday's 8:00 PM ET tip.

Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers said Embiid (illness) practiced Sunday and has a "75 percent chance" of being available for Monday's game against the Suns, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Though the 76ers haven't released an updated injury report for Monday's contest, Rivers' comments imply that Embiid will likely be listed as probable for that game. Embiid missed the 76ers' last three games with the non-COVID-19-related illness that has been passing around the team's locker room of late, but his ability to practice Sunday suggests the worst of the ailment is now behind him. The star center may need more time to regain full conditioning, but even if his minutes are monitored closely Monday, fantasy managers should have no hesitation about reinserting him into weekly lineups.

Embiid (illness) will not play in Friday's meeting with the Knicks, Keith Pompey reports.

Embiid went through shootaround early Friday, but evidently didn't feel good enough to play, allowing Montrezl Harrell to enter the starting lineup at the center position. Embiids next chance to play will come on Monday against Phoenix

Embiid (illness) participated in Friday's shootaround session, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid has missed the last two games due to a non-COVID illness. While he wasn't on the court for the media portion of Friday's session, it sounds like he was still able to participate in some capacity. It's not guaranteed that Embiid will be back in the lineup for Friday's tilt with the Knicks, but the 76ers could certainly benefit from his playmaking abilities with James Harden (foot) out for at least a month.

Embiid (illness) is considered questionable for Friday's game versus the Knicks, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid reportedly worked out in the Sixers' facility Thursday, which seemingly bodes well for his availability Friday. Still, the questionable tag suggests he's not guaranteed to take the floor, and it's unclear if any lingering effects of the illness could limit his workload even if he gets the green light. More clarification on his status should arrive on game day.

Embiid (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid was questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup and will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to his non-COVID illness. De'Anthony Melton filled in as a starter Monday against Washington, and it wouldn't be surprising to see that occur again Wednesday.

Embiid (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid sat out Monday's game against the Wizards due to the illness. De'Anthony Melton drew the start then and would presumably do so once more if Embiid sits out Wednesday.

Embiid (illness) will miss Monday's contest against the Wizards, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

The All-Star center will now miss his second game out of Philadelphia's last three contests. De'Anthony Melton figures to re-enter the 76ers' starting lineup while P.J. Tucker gets shifted to the center position. Montrezl Harrell is another candidate to see more playing time with Embiid on the sidelines. Embiid's next chance to return to the 76ers' lineup comes Wednesday during a rematch against the Wizards.

Embiid (illness) didn't participate in Monday's shootaround and remains questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid was added to the injury report Sunday due to a non-COVID illness. While the big man wouldn't necessarily need to participate in shootaround in order to play against Washington, his absence isn't encouraging in terms of his availability. If Embiid is forced to miss Monday's contest, Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell would likely see expanded roles in Philadelphia's frontcourt.

Embiid is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Wizards due to a non-COVID illness, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid landed on the injury report Sunday due to the illness. The severity of the aliment remains unclear, but he'll have over 24 hours to clear the issue before Monday's matchup. If the superstar big man is sidelined, Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell would be candidates for increased minutes, but James Harden and Tyrese Maxey would handle the majority of the playmaking opportunities.

Embiid notched 25 points (9-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 win over the Bulls.

Embiid returned from a one-game absence and was the difference maker for the Sixers in this victory, as he left his mark on both ends of the court while also draining the game-winning shot with only 18 seconds left in the contest. Embiid has now scored at least 25 points in each of his last four outings.

Embiid is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Embiid didn't play the first half of this back-to-back set due to injury management, but as expected, he returns to the starting unit. He has scored at least 26 points in all but one of his five appearances this season and posted 31 points against the Raptors in his most recent outing.

Embiid (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus the Bulls.

Embiid thus looks set to retake the floor after getting a night off on the front end of a back-to-back set Friday. He should resume his starting duties and is coming off 31 points against Toronto earlier in the week. Embiid has posted 26 or more in four of the first five games, though he has just 10 total rebounds in his last two games played.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid will be forced to miss his first game of the season due to right knee injury recovery, but he'll have another chance to suit up Saturday in Chicago. De'Anthony Melton will join the starting lineup in his place for Friday's matchup.

Embiid (knee) is questionable to play in Friday's game versus the Raptors.

Embiid has played in all five games this season but is listed as questionable due to a right knee injury Friday. Embiid missed time due to a right knee injury last season, so this is something to monitor. However, there is no indication that the star big man will miss any extended period of time.

Embiid supplied 31 points (12-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Raptors.

Embiid has now surpassed the 30-point plateau in two of his last three appearances, but it seems as if his efforts are helpless with the 76ers starting the season at 1-4. The star big man has also gone two straight games without a double-double, but he started the year with three in a row, so it should be just a matter of time before he bounces back in that department. Embiid will be one of Philadelphia's biggest weapons when they play the Raptors on the road once again Friday.

Embiid had 15 points (6-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block across 36 minutes during Thursday's 90-88 loss to Milwaukee.

Embiid made three of his first four shots but lost his touch after that and missed 14 of his last 17 tries, including all seven of his attempts in the second half. It was a pretty miserable second half for the 28-year-old as he did not score and pulled down just three boards while turning the ball over three times in 17 minutes of playing time. He's recorded a double-double in both games this season but has made just 38.5 percent of his shot attempts and is 2-for-9 from beyond the arc.

Embiid notched 26 points (9-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and one block in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 126-117 loss to the Celtics.

After scoring just one point in the first quarter, Embiid responded with seven or more points in each of the other three periods. Nine of his 15 rebounds came in the second half as he played 21 minutes after halftime. While he played in only two preseason games, the 28-year-old looks primed to produce another excellent season and defend his scoring title.

Embiid compiled a team-high 19 points (8-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and a block over 23 minutes Wednesday versus the Hornets.

As is frequently the case, the offense primarily ran through Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and James Harden in this one. Embiid hasn't hit any of his five three-point tries during the preseason, but there's not much to worry about yet, with only a pair of games under the belt and him coming off of back-to-back seasons shooting north of 37 percent from deep. Embiid should remain a centerpiece of the Sixers' offense in 2022-23 as he looks to build on a career-best 30.6 points per game last season.

Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers said Embiid is going to play in Wednesday's preseason game versus the Hornets, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports

Embiid could potentially play into the second half, said Rivers. The superstar center missed Monday's preseason game due to rest but should be ready to go for the regular season opener on Oct. 18 versus the Celtics. Embiid is the NBA's reigning scoring champion and is poised to be one of the top fantasy players again this season.

Embiid (rest) didn't travel with the team and won't play in Monday's preseason game in Cleveland, Joe Vardon of The Athletic reports.

Per Vardon, the 76ers have confirmed that Embiid isn't injured and is simply taking the night off to make sure he's 100 percent heading into the regular season. Following Monday's matchup, the Sixers have one remaining exhibition contest -- Wednesday, Oct. 12 against the Hornets -- before the they open the regular season against the Celtics on Oct. 18.

Embiid scored 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt) with six rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes against the Cavs on Wednesday.

Embiid was his usual, versatile self on Wednesday night, collecting six points (3-8 FG) and four rebounds in the first quarter. He added three assists in the second quarter, all to Tyrese Maxey, to go along with another six points and two rebounds before sitting out for the entire second half. The Sixers' star center and recurring MVP candidate looks as good as ever heading into his seventh NBA season.

Embiid will play in Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Cavaliers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

After sitting out the preseason opener, Embiid -- along with James Harden, P.J. Tucker, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris -- will play in Philadelphia's second exhibition contest. Embiid posted 30.6 points, 11.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists last year, but he'll likely be limited during his first game action ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

Embiid (rest) will not play in Monday's preseason matchup against the Nets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The All-Star center will be rested for the 76ers first preseason contest alongside the likes of James Harden, Danuel House and P.J. Tucker. Embiid's next chance to take the court comes Wednesday against Cleveland.

Embiid (rest) will not play in Monday's preseason matchup against the Nets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The All-Star center will be rested for the 76ers first preseason contest alongside the likes of James Harden, Danuel House and P.J. Tucker. Embiid's next chance to take the court comes Wednesday against Cleveland.

Embiid underwent surgery Monday to repair his sprained right thumb and his left index finger, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Embiid suffered the thumb injury in Game 3 of the second-round playoff matchup against the Raptors, but it was overshadowed by the orbital fracture and concussion the big man suffered during the closeout game of the series. Despite career-highs in games played (68) and points (30.6), Embiid dealt with numerous injuries during the 2021-22 campaign, so it's encouraging to see him escape the grueling season without any major setbacks. Per Shams, neither procedure is expected to impact Embiid's availability for training camp, so the MVP candidate should be fully healthy heading into the 2022-23 campaign.

Embiid posted 20 points (7-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block over 44 minutes during Thursday's 99-90 loss to Miami in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

The performance wasn't enough to keep the 76ers' season alive, as the Heat advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals after the win. Embiid posted eight double-doubles in 10 playoff games this year, averaging 23.6 points, 10.7 boards, 2.1 assists and 0.8 blocks despite playing through torn ligaments in his thumb and an orbital bone fracture.

Embiid (face) will play in Thursday's Game 6 against the Heat, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

As expected, Embiid will continue to power through his orbital fracture and torn thumb ligament that sidelined him for the first two games of the series. Since returning, he's averaged 19.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 35.7 minutes.

Embiid (face) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against Miami.

All indications are that Embiid will continue to play through the orbital fracture -- and torn ligament in his thumb -- that sidelined him for the first two games of the series. Nonetheless, the Sixers will list him questionable for the fourth straight game. Embiid, who took another shot to the face in Game 5, finished the 120-85 blowout loss with just 17 points, five rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes.

Embiid recorded 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-85 loss to Miami.

Embiid has attempted 13 or fewer field goals in all three contests since returning from a two-game absence due to a concussion and orbital fracture. The MVP candidate attempted a career-high 19.6 field-goal attempts per game during the regular season, so it's curious why he's been so passive during the series. Miami's defense deserves credit, but Embiid is shooting 51.4 percent from the field, so it's not like he's being suffocated. Regardless, the biggest difference in Embiid's box score from Tuesday's loss compared to the two previous wins was the lack of free-throw attempts. Embiid will need to be aggressive in Game 6 if the 76ers hope to avoid elimination.

Embiid (orbital/thumb) is available and will start Tuesday's Game 5 against the Heat.

As expected, Embiid will remain in the lineup for Tuesday's Game 5 as the 76ers look to win a third straight contest against Miami. Over the last two games, the MVP candidate has averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds across 37 minutes per contest.

Embiid (orbital/thumb) is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Heat.

Embiid missed the first two games of the series after suffering a concussion and orbital fracture during the opening-round series against the Raptors. However, the MVP candidate returned for the next two contests in Philadelphia and led the 76ers to back-to-back wins. While he's listed as questionable, it'll likely take a major setback for Embiid not to suit up for Game 5.

Embiid contributed 24 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-13 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-108 win over the Heat.

Embiid missed the first two games of the series and it showed, as Philadelphia has bounced back to even things up following his return to the hardwood. The star big man has seven double-doubles in eight playoff appearances so far and continues to make a huge impact for the Sixers on both ends of the court.

Embiid (orbital) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Heat.

Embiid returned to the court for Friday's Game 3, and he posted a double-double with 18 points, 11 rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block in 36 minutes. Coach Doc Rivers said prior to Game 4 that Embiid felt good, so the 28-year-old should handle a significant workload once again Sunday.

Embiid (orbital) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 matchup with the Heat.

There were no reported setbacks for Embiid in his return to the court for Friday's Game 3 victory, so his questionable designation appears to be more of a formality. Barring any setbacks, he is presumably trending towards suiting up again. While he he put up modest production in his return, his presence was felt on both ends of the court for the 76ers.

Embiid produced 18 points (5-12 FG, 8-10 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 99-79 victory over the Heat.

Embiid was solid during his return from a two-game absence due to a concussion and orbital fracture, but the MVP candidate wasn't his prolific self. Regardless, both teams look drastically different than the first two games of the series, so Embiid's impact on the game was evident, even if it didn't show up in the box score. The talented big man will look to find his offensive rhythm and tie the series Sunday.

Embiid (orbital) will return during Friday's Game 3 against the Heat, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

After initially being listed as out, Embiid has worked himself to available. He cleared concussion protocols and was fitted for a mask to protect his orbital fracture, not to mention the torn thumb ligament he's dealing with. Coach Doc Rivers said the star center could be on limited minutes, but "could be" implies Embiid may end up playing as much as needed given that the 76ers have their backs against the wall down 2-0 in the series.

Embiid (orbital) is warming up with the intention of playing in Friday's Game 3 against the Heat, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Embiid's return is gaining real momentum. It seems likely at this point that his status is a true game-time decision despite the center being officially listed as doubtful. In a different situation, Embiid could be on a minutes limit, but with the 76ers down 2-0, he may play every minute needed from him.

There's optimism that Embiid (orbital) will return for Friday's Game 3 against the Heat, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Embiid has been fitted for a mask and needs to feel comfortable before ultimately being cleared to play. He was initially listed as out, but there always seemed to be the possibility he could return for Game 3 despite the designation -- something we saw happen with Devin Booker in the Suns' Round 1 series. At this point, it seems the center is more questionable, and things are certainly trending in the right direction. Philadelphia's back is against the wall down 2-0, so it's potentially now or never for the Embiid.

Embiid (orbital) has cleared concussion protocols and participated in the team's morning shootaround ahead of Friday's Game 3 against the Hawks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

The MVP candidate continues to be listed as out for Game 3, but it sounds like he may try to play through the orbital fracture by wearing a mask similar to the one he garnered after colliding with former teammate Markelle Fultz in 2018, per Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.com. Shelburne went on to add that Embiid, however, would likely not have to wear goggles during a potential return, as he did in 2018. Regardless, this is an encouraging turn for the 76ers, who face an 0-2 deficit in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Embiid (orbital) is out for Friday's Game 3 against the Heat, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

There was cautious optimism that Embiid may have been able to return as soon as Game 3, but that ultimately won't be the case. Game 4 is on Sunday, though if the 76ers go down 3-0, it remains to be seen if it would be considered an unnecessary risk to bring the center back.

76ers head coach Doc Rivers said Embiid (orbital) is feeling better and has begun the process of testing out of the league's concussion protocols, but he'll still be sidelined for Wednesday's Game 2 in Miami, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid suffered a concussion and an orbital fracture during the closeout Game 5 of the opening-round series against the Raptors and currently isn't with the team in Miami. However, Rivers and the 76ers have expressed optimism that the MVP candidate could potentially return when the series shifts to Philadelphia on Friday. Rivers' update on the talented big man suggests that optimism is still there, but the 76ers may face an 0-2 hole when Embiid returns if they don't get a better performance out of James Harden on Wednesday.

Embiid (Orbital) won't travel with the team for Games 1 and 2 in Miami, but there's optimism he could return as soon as Game 3 or 4 in Philadelphia, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid remains in concussion protocol and will see a doctor this week to have his orbital fracture re-evaluated. In his absence, Paul Reed, Paul Millsap and DeAndre Jordan will likely all see increased roles, but if the 76ers are going to sneak out a win in Miami without their MVP candidate, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris will likely have to play like stars.

Embiid will be listed as out ahead of Game 1 of the 76ers' Round 2 matchup with the Heat due to a right orbital fracture and mild concussion sustained in Thursday's Game 6 victory over Toronto, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

There is not a lot of clarity around Embiid's potentialy timetable for return right now other than he will initially be listed as out for Monday's game against the Heat. His first chance to return will come Thursday. His absence will significantly alter the team on both sides of the court, with the likes of DeAndre Jordan, Paul Millsap and Paul Reed being options to fill in at center.

Embiid recorded 33 points (12-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 132-97 win over Toronto.

After seeing his scoring drop the last two games while he adjusted to playing through a thumb issue, Embiid bounced back and topped 30 points for the third time in the series while recording his fifth double-double in six games against Toronto. The center is 0-for-9 from three-point range over the last three games, and he may not be a factor from beyond the arc for the rest of 76ers playoff run, but otherwise Embiid seems capable of his usual production despite the brace on his thumb. Philly will now head to Miami for Game 1 of their second-round series Monday.

Embiid recorded 20 points (7-15 FG, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in the 103-88 loss to Toronto on Monday.

Embiid continued to play through a torn ligament in his right thumb suffered during Game 3. After recording back-to-back games of 31-plus points, the five-time All-Star has put up 20.5 points on 45.2 percent shooting from the field in the two games since.

Sixers head coach Doc Rivers said Sunday that an MRI confirmed a ligament tear in Embiid's right thumb, but the diagnosis doesn't change the big man's availability, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid was seen wearing a protective brace at practice Friday and appeared to be hampered by the thumb issue during Saturday's Game 3 loss, through he still finished with 21 points and eight rebounds. Regardless, the MVP candidate is expected to play through the pain and undergo surgery to address the issue during the offseason, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Embiid (thumb) notched 21 points (7-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 39 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 loss to the Raptors.

The 76ers center was clearly hampered by a right thumb injury that's requiring him to wear a brace, but Embiid was still able to post solid numbers even if he failed to reach 30 points as he had the two games prior, or record a double-double as he had in three straight contests to begin the series. Embiid will undergo an MRI before Game 5 on Monday, but he has no intention of sitting even if surgery is eventually recommended, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid may have suffered a torn ligament in his right thumb -- he'll undergo an MRI soon -- but he's vowed to continue playing through the injury, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Embiid was seen wearing a protective brace at practice, though he wasn't limited besides that. Imaging will need to be done to determine the full extent of the injury, but it seems as if the medical staff thinks it's a torn ligament. He may be affected going forward, but the MVP candidate appears determined to play through the pain. The expectation is that he'll be available for Saturday's Game 4.

Embiid was wearing a soft brace on his right hand/wrist during Friday's practice, but 76ers head coach Doc Rivers said the big man is fine heading into Saturday's Game 4 in Toronto, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Rivers added, "He's good. We did a lot of stuff in [Friday's practice]. We just don't want anybody to hit his arm/hand. But he was fine." Embiid looked more than fine during Wednesday's Game 3 win, registering a second consecutive 30-point double-double and connecting on a game-winning three-pointer in the final seconds of overtime. The MVP candidate has averaged 27.7 points, 13.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists across the first three games of the opening-round series.

Embiid put up 33 points (12-20 FG, 3-8 3PT, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block during Wednesday's 104-101 win over Toronto.

After making just a third of his shots in Game 1, Embiid has been locked in the rest of the way. The five-time All-Star posted back-to-back games of 31-plus points on at least 56.3 percent shooting from the field. He'll look to stay hot in a potential closeout game on Saturday.

Embiid recorded 31 points (9-16 FG, 1-2 3PT, 12-14 FT) and 11 rebounds in a 112-97 win over Toronto on Monday.

Embiid notched his second straight double-double of the series to help give Philadelphia a 2-0 lead. The five-time All-Star matched his Game 1 scoring total in the first quarter by dropping 19 of his 31 in the period.

Embiid finished with 19 points (5-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one block over 37 minutes during Saturday's 131-111 win over Toronto.

The center was a one-man wrecking crew for the 76ers, and not in the good way -- he elbowed Khem Birch (face) in the first quarter and sent the Raptor into the concussion protocol, then stepped on Scottie Barnes' ankle in the fourth. Embiid also reeled off his 12th straight double-double though, and he's averaging 32.4 points, 13.8 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.6 blocks, 1.3 threes and 1.2 steals over that stretch.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Although Embiid will be sidelined for the second half of a back-to-back set to close out the regular season, he isn't believed to be dealing with a serious injury. Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris should see increased run Sunday, but it seems likely that Embiid will be back in action for the playoffs.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Embiid and James Harden (hamstring) are both questionable for the second half of the 76ers' back-to-back set Sunday, but neither player is expected to be dealing with a serious injury. If both superstars are sidelined, expected Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris to handle the majority of the offensive responsibilities.

Embiid logged 41 points (14-17 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 11-15 FT), 20 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 133-120 victory over the Pacers.

The center made an emphatic late statement in the MVP race, leading the 76ers to a win that kept alive the possibility they could move up to the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. Embiid has reeled off 11 straight double-doubles, and he'll look to make it an even dozen in the Sixers' regular-season finale Sunday against the Pistons.

Embiid put up 30 points (10-22 FG, 10-12 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in a 119-114 loss to Toronto on Thursday.

Embiid dropped 29-plus points for the 13th time in his last 16 games including a combined 119 points in his last three. The five-time All-Star continues to make his final push in the MVP race with just two regular season games remaining.

Embiid racked up 45 points (18-30 FG, 2-3 3PT, 7-10 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block in a 131-122 win over Indiana on Tuesday.

Embiid now has back-to-back games of 44-plus points and 13-plus rebounds. The Kansas product is averaging 36.5 points, 15.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks to start the month of April as he makes a late push in the MVP race.

Embiid had 44 points (12-26 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 17-20 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 win over the Cavaliers.

Embiid drew 11 fouls Sunday -- too much for Cleveland to overcome. Lacking Evan Mobley (ankle) and Jarrett Allen (finger), Cleveland crowdsourced an effort to slow Embiid. In the fourth quarter Embiid rolled his ankle, but he successfully played through and appeared healthy. He was dealing with lingering ankle soreness coming into Sunday's contest, so it is a situation to monitor.

Embiid (ankle) will play Sunday against the Cavaliers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid was initially listed as questionable, but he'll play through the lingering ankle soreness. The MVP candidate has registered a double-double in seven straight appearances and has averaged 30.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks in 34.9 minutes per game during that stretch.

Embiid is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to left ankle soreness, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Embiid delivered 29 points (12-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 14 rebounds and six assists in 31 minutes Saturday against the Hornets, and he's questionable for the second half of the back-to-back set. DeAndre Jordan and Paul Millsap should see more run at center for the 76ers if Embiid is unable to play Sunday.

Embiid racked up 37 points (11-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 14-16 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 102-94 loss to the Pistons.

The big man continues to keep his name front of mind for MVP voters. scoring 30 or more points for the seventh time in his last 10 games while picking up his eighth double-double over that same stretch. Embiid has a chance to become the first 76er to lead the NBA in scoring since Allen Iverson in 2004-05, but he'll need to out-produce LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo over the final days of the season to do it.

Embiid posted 29 points (11-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 118-116 loss to Milwaukee.

Embiid notched his fifth 20-point double-double in as many appearances and dished out at least seven assists for an eighth time this season. However, his bountiful contributions weren't enough, as the 76ers fell to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks. Across 14 contests in March, Embiid has averaged 30.1 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks in 35.4 minutes per game.

Embiid chipped in 37 points (14-27 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Suns.

Of eight losses Philadelphia has recorded in games where Embiid scores at least 30 points, two have come against Phoenix. The 76ers were outscored by 14 in the second half, despite another monster effort from Embiid. Another tough task awaits against Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Embiid notched 27 points (9-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 122-97 victory over the Clippers.

The Sixers jumped out to a big first-quarter lead and never looked back, enabling Embiid to do his damage in just 27 minutes of action. The big man remains neck-and-neck with Nikola Jokic in the MVP race, but he continues to bolster his case with each passing game. Over his last nine appearances, Embiid is averaging 31.6 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.7 blocks and 1.4 threes while shooting 47.6 percent from the floor and 43.3 percent from deep.

Embiid provided 30 points (11-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 win over the Lakers.

This was set up to be a battle between the NBA's top two scorers, but LeBron James was held out from the contest due to a knee injury. Embiid flourished in the spotlight and finished as the game's top point-producer and rebounder, finishing with his eighth double-double across 11 games in March. The big man was also a force defensively, racking up three steals and three blocked shots. Embiid has the 76ers just 1.5 games out of the top spot in the Eastern Conference as he pushes for his first league MVP award.

Embiid (back) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

After a one-game absence due to back soreness, Embiid will be back in the lineup along with James Harden (hamstring). In March, Embiid is averaging 29.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks.

Embiid (back) has been downgraded to out for Monday's matchup with the Heat, Ramona Shelbourne of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid will be sidelined for the second half of a back-to-back set Monday, marking his first absence since Jan. 31. In his stead, DeAndre Jordan, Paul Millsap, Paul Reed and Charles Bassey are all candidates for increased roles, though James Harden and Tyrese Maxey figure to handle the majority of the playmaking duties. Embiid's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Lakers.

Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Miami.

As has been the case for the last few games, Embiid is once again listed as questionable due to soreness in his lower back. He's yet to miss any time -- Embiid hasn't missed a game since Jan. 31 -- but with the Sixers on the second half of a back-to-back, the big man's status is worth closely monitoring throughout the day.

Embiid (back) will be available for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Gina Mizell of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The Sixers took the decision down to the wire, allowing Embiid to test out his back during warmups, but the big man has ultimately been cleared to take the floor. He did not appear to be affected by the back issue during Friday's win over the Mavs, which he finished with 32 points, eight rebounds, four assists, one block and a season-high five steals in 34 minutes.

Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against Toronto.

Embiid has been on the injury report due to a sore back for each of Philadelphia's past two games, but he has been able to play in each contest. The MVP candidate has averaged 33.5 points and 12.5 boards in the pair of wins, so his performance may not be effected by the injury as long as he's able to take the court.

Embiid provided 32 points (11-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and five steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 111-101 victory over Dallas.

While Embiid's performance wasn't his most efficient game, he still posted an excellent game and the star big man continues to display why he's a bonafide MVP candidate on a nightly basis. He has scored 30-plus points in four games in a row and is averaging 30.8 points per game across nine appearances this month.

Embiid (back) is available for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid participated in Friday's shootaround and will be able to play through back soreness once again Friday. He's recorded at least 34 points, nine rebounds and four assists in each of his last three appearances.

Embiid (back) participated in the team's morning shootaround ahead of Friday's contest against the Mavericks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid is officially listed as questionable, but his participation in shootaround is a step in the right direction. The MVP candidate played through back soreness during Wednesday's win over Cleveland and notched his third straight game with at least 30 points.

Embiid (back) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Mavericks.

Embiid fought through back soreness Wednesday against the Cavaliers to post 35 points, 17 rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes -- his third straight game with at least 34 points, nine rebounds and four assists. If he's forced to sit out Friday, more action would be in store for DeAndre Jordan and Paul Millsap.

Embiid (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

The MVP candidate was a late addition to the injury report with back soreness, but he'll be fine to play Wednesday. This month, he's averaged 30.0 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.3 steals in 35.7 minutes.

Embiid is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Cavaliers due to back soreness.

Embiid was a late addition to the injury report Wednesday morning, which is never a good sign. The big man has appeared in 17 straight games and has averaged 31.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks in 34.2 minutes during that stretch. If he's sidelined Wednesday, DeAndre Jordan, Paul Millsap and Paul Reed would all be candidates for increased roles, though James Harden, Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey would likely garner increased usage as well.

Embiid ended Monday's 114-110 loss to the Nuggets with 34 points (11-20 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes.

Embiid unsurprisingly finished with a game-high 34 points, and he did so efficiently, missing only one free throw while shooting over 50 percent from the field. He's drained two or more triples in three straight contests after a two-game drought from three earlier in the month. Halfway through the month of March, Embiid is averaging 30.0 points, 12.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists (seven games).

Embiid registered 27 points (5-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 15-19 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes during Thursday's 129-100 loss to Brooklyn.

The double-double was his third straight and 32nd of the season, but Embiid didn't get enough help to pick up a win -- Tobias Harris was the only other 76er to score more than 11 points on the night. Embiid has scored more than 20 points in eight straight games as he takes aim at the MVP Award, averaging 31.8 points, 11.9 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.4 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks over that stretch.

Embiid ended Monday's 121-106 win over the Bulls with 43 points (15-27 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 12-16 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals in 36 minutes.

Embiid supplied yet another 40 point, 10 rebound outing of the season -- marking his 10th in total. Giannis Antetokounmpo is next closest with six. Embiid and Nikola Jokic are exchanging monster performances on a nightly basis in one of the most competitive MVP races in recent years. Embiid is a candidate for a monster performance when the Nets comes to Philadelphia on Thursday.

Embiid recorded 22 points (4-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 99-82 loss to Miami.

Although the Sixers failed to seal the deal, Embiid's production continues to steam along at a breakneck pace as he continues to make a case for the MVP title. Playing without James Harden gave the Sixers a handicap in the loss, but the duo of Harden and Embiid is a force to be reckoned with when they are both on the court.

Embiid accumulated 22 points (7-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 125-119 victory over the Cavaliers.

Embiid has scored at least 20 points with nine rebounds in each of his last five appearances, and he has also recorded three double-doubles in that stretch. The star big man continues to make a strong case for the MVP award, but his numbers since the beginning of February have been nothing short of extraordinary. He's averaged 31.2 points, 12.1 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.3 assists per game over his last 12 appearances.

Embiid finished with 27 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes Wednesday in the 76ers' 123-108 win over the Knicks.

Through three games with James Harden in the fold, Embiid is averaging 32.7 points, 10.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 2.0 blocks, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 34.0 minutes while shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 84.9 percent from the free-throw line. Aside from the assists -- he's averaging 4.4 per game -- all of those figures are roughly in line with his season-long marks, so Embiid's fantasy value doesn't look as though it'll suffer with a new superstar in the mix.

Embiid finished with 37 points (7-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 23-27 FT), nine rebounds, four blocks, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes Sunday in the 76ers' 125-109 win over the Knicks.

The James Harden-Embiid pairing has looked magnificent through the 76ers' first two games coming out of the All-Star break, with the 2017-18 NBA MVP and this season's current frontrunner for the award producing huge fantasy lines in both games. After going off for 34 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in Friday's blowout win over the Timberwolves, Embiid cranked things up a notch Sunday. Though he came up empty from distance and shot under 50 percent from the field, Embiid made up for it with the defensive production and the 23 made free throws, the most by any player in a single NBA game this season. Embiid's penchant for drawing the whistle resulted in both of the Knicks' top two centers -- Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims -- fouling out of the contest, despite both playing under 20 minutes.

Embiid finished Sunday's All-Star Game with 36 points (14-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes.

In a game that was competitive -- at least on the scoreboard -- from start to finish, Embiid led the way for Team Durant, which was playing without its namesake. He notched team highs in points, shot attempts, made threes and rebounds, as well as minutes played. The big man is considered by many to be the MVP frontrunner coming out of the break, and he closed the first half strongly with 42 points, 14 rebounds and five assists in a win over Milwaukee on Thursday night. Since Christmas (25 games), Embiid is averaging 33.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 threes. He'll remain the unquestioned focal point of the Sixers' attack, but he'll need to adjust to playing alongside James Harden (hamstring), who's expected to debut for the Sixers after the break.

Embiid ended Thursday's 123-120 win over the Bucks with 42 points (14-21 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes.

Embiid was nearly unstoppable on offense against the defending champs, making 14 of 21 field-goal attempts including 3 of 4 from beyond the arc. The All-Star center also grabbed 14 boards to register his 28th double-double of the campaign. Embiid has been on an absolute tear since mid-December, tallying at least 25 points in 26 of his past 28 contests. His MVP-worthy resume this season includes a league-leading 29.6 points per game along with 11.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.3 three-pointers, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals per contest.

Embiid posted 19 points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 13-16 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one block across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 135-87 loss to Boston.

Embiid was swarmed by multiple Boston defenders every time he touched the ball and wasn't able to generate the type of production fantasy managers have grown accustomed to over the past two months. Nonetheless, he was able to salvage the night by drawing 16 trips to the free-throw line and added a team-high nine rebounds to finish with a respectable stat line. The MVP candidate will look to bounce back Thursday against the Bucks, which is Philadelphia's final game before the All-Star break.

Embiid finished Saturday's 103-93 win over the Cavaliers with 40 points (11-22 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 14-15 FT), 14 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 33 minutes.

Embiid was clearly the best player on the court, yet again, guiding the 76ers to a relatively comfortable victory. Embiid is firming as the MVP favorite, delivering mind-blowing performances on a nightly basis. With James Harden now in town, Embiid's offensive output could take a small hit, although it is unlikely to impact his overall fantasy value. The future is bright in Philadelphia and given their trajectory and short-term title aspirations, Embiid is basically a lock to keep things rolling the rest of the way.

Embiid ended Friday's 100-87 win over the Thunder with 25 points (8-25 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists, five blocks and one steal in 35 minutes.

Another game, another impressive performance from one of the game's best players. Embiid struggled with his shot and needed 25 field goals just to record 25 points, but he supplied that lack of efficiency with monster figures across the box score. He's now recorded six straight double-doubles while also adding multiple blocks or steals in three of those games.

Embiid closed with 34 points (13-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Phoenix.

Embiid notched his fifth straight double-double and tied his season high with three steals, a mark he's reached three times. Since the start of January (22 games), the All-Star center has averaged 36.1 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 blocks in 33.5 minutes. He'll look to keep up his MVP-caliber play Friday against the Thunder.

Embiid chipped in 40 points (14-23 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Sunday's 119-108 win over the Bulls.

Embiid was unstoppable Sunday, notching his seventh 40-point double-double of the season. After resting Monday, the All-Star center registered three straight double-doubles to finish the week and averaged 31.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals in 33.3 minutes during that span. Embiid will look to keep up his MVP-caliber play Tuesday against the Suns.

Embiid totaled 27 points (7-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 107-98 loss to the Mavericks.

Another monster, all-around performance by Embiid wasn't enough, as the Sixers dropped a second straight game after falling to the Wizards on Wednesday night. Nonetheless, the MVP candidate continues to be one of the strongest and most consistent forces in all of fantasy basketball. Embiid hasn't scored fewer than 25 points in any game since all the way back on Dec. 23.

Embiid will not play in Monday's game against the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The Sixers aren't on a back-to-back, so the decision is a little surprising, but Embiid is certainly deserving of a night off given the workload he's carried over the last month-plus. The big man has played in 21 consecutive games, averaging 33.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 threes in 33.0 minutes per contest during that stretch. He'll likely be back on the floor for Wednesday's game against Washington -- one of Philly's four Week 16 matchups.

Embiid finished with 36 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 14-18 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one block across 35 minutes Saturday in the 76ers' 103-101 win over the Kings.

Embiid willed the 76ers to their fourth straight victory, with his huge efforts from the field and free-throw line helping Philadelphia erase a 17-point deficit along the way. The star center has now reached the 25-point mark in 17 consecutive games, averaging 34.2 points (on 55.2 percent shooting from the field and 81.4 percent shooting from the free-throw line) to go with 10.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 triples during that stretch. His huge production over the past four weeks likely puts him at the forefront of the NBA MVP race, but his ability to stay healthy during the second half of the season will likely be a significant factor in whether he captures the hardware for the first time in his career.

Embiid registered 42 points (12-24 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 18-20 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and four blocks over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 117-107 victory over the Pelicans.

It's the sixth straight games with at least 32 points for Embiid, and all but one of those performances has included a double-double. The 27-year-old didn't sink any three-pointers but was extra efficient from the charity stripe Tuesday, and his 18 made free throws set a season high.

Embiid contributed 38 points (16-32 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one block over 32 minutes during Sunday's 115-109 win over the Spurs.

Embiid has now registered at least 30 points in five games in a row and has also posted double-doubles in each of his last three contests. He's undoubtedly going through his most prolific stretch of the campaign and is averaging 33.8 points and 10.5 boards per game in January.

Embiid posted 40 points (15-25 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 102-101 loss to Los Angeles.

Embiid scored at least 25 points for the 16th consecutive game and notched his 18th double-double of the season. Since returning from a nine-game absence due to COVID-19 protocols in late November, the star big man has appeared in 25 of 26 games and is averaging 30.9 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 33.6 minutes. Embiid will look to continue his dominant play against the Spurs on Sunday.

Embiid scored 50 points (17-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 15-17 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, three blocks, two assists and a steal in only 27 minutes during Wednesday's 123-110 win over the Magic.

It was a history-making night for Embiid, who tied his career scoring high and became one of only three 76ers with multiple 50-point games, joining Wilt Chamberlain and Allen Iverson in a very exclusive club. Embiid also posted his 50 and 10 in fewer minutes than any other NBA player in the shot clock era. The 27-year-old superstar has scored at least 25 points in 12 straight games, averaging 33.3 points, 10.2 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 threes over that stretch.

Embiid chipped in 32 points (10-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Monday's 117-98 loss to the Wizards.

Embiid continues to roll through his best statistical stretch of the season, but he didn't get much help Monday, as the Sixers had just one other player score in double figures (Tyrese Maxey, 18 points). Dating back to mid-December, Embiid has scored at least 30 points in 12 of his last 14 games, registering eight double-doubles in that stretch.

Embiid finished with 32 points (12-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 109-98 victory over the Heat.

Embiid came into the game under a minor injury cloud but put the Sixers on his back, carrying them to what was a statement victory. While the numbers were obviously impressive, Embiid's non-tangible contributions were arguably more important. He is putting together his best season in terms of both productivity and health, with fantasy managers simply enjoying the ride at this point.

Embiid (elbow) will play Saturday against the Heat, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid was a late addition to the injury report but will still play. Embiid has appeared in 13 straight games, with averages of 30.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals.

Embiid is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Heat due to right elbow soreness.

Embiid is a late addition to the injury report and could end up being a game-time call. If he sits out, Andre Drummond should start. Embiid has appeared in 13 straight games, with averages of 30.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals.

Embiid contributed 25 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 111-99 win over the Celtics.

Embiid continues to dominate the league and is averaging 30.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals over his last 13 appearances. The star big man missed nine games in November due to COVID-19 protocols, but he is more than making up for the time missed with his most recent performances. As long as he can stay on the court, which he's had trouble doing at times during his career, he'll remain a top fantasy option for the remainder of the season.

Embiid ended with 31 points (10-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-14 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 109-98 loss to Charlotte.

Despite the loss, Embiid joins Wilt Chamberlain and Allen Iverson as the only 76ers in franchise history to record eight consecutive 30-point games. Embiid's hot streak has propelled him into the top-five producers at the center position on the season -- even while missing 12 games.

Embiid contributed 31 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 13-13 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 111-91 win over the Rockets.

Embiid's insane production run has earned his team the league's longest current win streak. It's hard to find a more consistent scoring presence than Embiid at the moment, and the nightly double-double threat is showing no signs of slowing down.

Embiid provided 31 points (10-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 11-15 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 32 minutes during Friday's 119-100 victory over San Antonio.

Embiid has scored 30-plus points in nine straight games and has notched six double-doubles during that stretch -- including his only triple-double of the season. Despite missing nine straight games in November due to COVID-19 protocols, the star center is quickly climbing the overall fantasy rankings. Embiid is expected to have another advantageous matchup Monday, when the Sixers travel to Houston to take on Christian Wood and the Rockets.

Embiid finished with 31 points (12-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 133-113 victory over the Rockets.

Embiid joined Giannis Antetokounmpo as the only players in the league this season to record a 30-15-10 game. It's the third triple-double of Embiid's career, as well as his fourth straight game scoring over 30 points. Despite playing in just 25 games thus far, Embiid has climbed into the top eight among fantasy centers.

Embiid closed Thursday's 110-102 victory over the Nets with 34 points (11-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 9-12 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 32 minutes.

Embiid and Tyrese Maxey (25 points) led the 76ers to a quality win. Embiid has now scored over 30 points in five of his last six games. Additionally, Embiid has connected on multiple threes in four straight contests. He is shooting a career-best 38.8 percent from beyond the arc this season. Embiid is off until Monday, but a juicy matchup with the Rockets awaits.

Embiid amassed 36 points (11-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over the Raptors.

Embiid was practically unstoppable in Tuesday's contest against the weak frontcourt of the Raptors. It's his second straight game with 36 points, and it's his fourth straight double-double. The effort was also his fifth straight game shooting at least 10 free throws.

Embiid closed Sunday's 117-96 win over the Wizards with 36 points (12-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes.

Embiid was absolutely dominant in this game, as he provided a double-double for the third game in a row while also looking extremely efficient from a scoring perspective. The star big man has also surpassed the 30-point mark in three of his last four contests.

Embiid (non-COVID illness) missed shootaround ahead of Sunday's contest against the Wizards, but he isn't listed on the injury report and is expected to play, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

While Embiid is expected to play, there's a possibility the illness could limit the star big man during Sunday's contest. Over his last four games, Embiid is averaging 28.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.3 steals across 36.5 minutes per game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Embiid status all the way up until the 6 PM ET tip.

Embiid finished Thursday's 98-96 loss to the Hawks with 23 points (6-17 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes.

Coming off of a monster game against Boston on Monday (41 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, four blocks), Embiid came back down to earth with a good-not-great showing in 36 minutes of action. He had a chance to tie the game late in the fourth, but his jumper rimmed out as time expired. For the Sixers, it was an ugly loss to a shorthanded Hawks team heading into the holiday weekend, but Embiid's fantasy managers should be thankful that he's now played in 12 of the last 13 games since emerging from COVID-19 protocols in late November.

Embiid closed with 41 points (14-27 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals over 40 minutes during Monday's 108-103 victory over the Celtics.

Embiid feasted against a shorthanded Celtics frontcourt, attempting a season-high 27 shots. Robert Williams (personal) was a late scratch, leaving Enes Freedom as the only traditional big available. Another fantasy-friendly matchup awaits against the Hawks on Thursday.

Embiid (ankle) is starting Monday's game against the Celtics, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid was questionable due to the ankle injury and is good to go following the postponement of Sunday's matchup with the Pelicans. The 27-year-old has averaged 25.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.6 steals in 33.2 minutes in his past five appearances.

Embiid (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Embiid continues to deal with left ankle soreness ahead of Monday's contest, and he'll have a chance to suit up after Sunday's game was postponed. Charles Bassey and Paul Reed should see plenty of run if Embiid is unable to play.

Embiid (ankle) and the Sixers will not play Sunday against the Pelicans, as the game has been postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The big man was questionable coming into the day due to a sore left ankle, but he'll now have an extra day to heal up. Per Wojnarowski, there's optimism that Monday's scheduled game at Boston can still be played, but it will ultimately depend on how many players the Sixers will have available.

Embiid is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to left ankle soreness.

Embiid has played well lately, with averages of 26.8 points, 12.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks across his past 10 appearances. If he's forced to sit out for the second time in four games, Andre Drummond should crack the starting five.

Embiid racked up 32 points (11-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and a steal Thursday night, as the 76ers fell to the Nets 114-105.

Embiid led the 76ers in points, rebounds, and even assists in the absence of Tyrese Maxey (quad). Embiid has been on a tear lately, scoring over 25 points in five of seven contests. His efficiency is down slightly across the board, but managers can look at that as a natural correlation associated with the increased defense attention Embiid has been receiving this season.

Embiid finished with 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 101-96 loss to the Heat.

Following a one-game absence due to a rib injury, Embiid returned to the lineup and struggled somewhat from the field, although he still managed a double-double on the night. The star center has scored in double-figures in each game he's played in this season, and he should continue to produce on the boards as well. Provided he can stay healthy, Embiid will remain a top fantasy option moving forward this season.

Embiid (ribs) will be available Wednesday against the Heat.

After a one-game absence due to a rib injury, Embiid will be back in action against the shorthanded Heat, who are starting Dewayne Dedmon at center. In Embiid's past five appearances, he's averaged 29.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.6 steals in 34.6 minutes.

Embiid (ribs) participated in shootaround ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Heat, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid was a late scratch ahead of Monday's contest against the Grizzlies, and he is officially listed as questionable for the matchup with the Heat. The star big man already missed nine games earlier in the season due to COVID-19 protocols, but he was averaging 27.4 points, 12.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks in eight games since his return. His latest setback appears minor, but the Sixers will likely be extremely cautious with their franchise center. Fantasy managers should monitor Embiid's status closely all the way up until the 7:00 PM ET tipoff.

Embiid (ribs) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Heat, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid was a late scratch ahead of Monday's contest against the Grizzlies, and he could be in line for a second straight absence. If he is unavailable Wednesday, then Andre Drummond will likely draw another start at center.

Embiid won't play in Monday's game against Memphis due to right rib soreness, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid was confirmed as the team's starter at center hours before tipoff, but a rib issue will not keep him out of the game altogether. Andre Drummond will start at center and should see a sizeable uptick in minutes with Embiid sidelined.

Embiid finished Saturday's 102-93 win over Golden State with 26 points (7-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-11 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 33 minutes.

Embiid came up big in the win over one of the league's top teams, pacing all players in scoring while knocking down all 11 of his attempts from the charity stripe. The star center also led the Sixers in assists and tied for the team lead with nine boards. Embiid is averaging 29.6 points and 10.6 rebounds over his past five games.

Embiid recorded 19 points (8-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 118-96 loss to the Jazz.

Embiid led the 76ers in points, rebounds and blocks, while no player logged more than four assists. Philadelphia ranks in the bottom-third of the league in assists per game and struggled to make shots Wednesday. Embiid has admitted that he isn't fully healthy, and will face a tough task when the Warriors come to town on Saturday.

Embiid (abdomen) checked back in Friday's game against the Jazz after briefly being evaluated in the locker room, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid was dealing with some right side abdominal pain but made a swift return to the floor after heading back to the locker room. The 27-year-old has totaled 17 points and seven rebounds in 27 minutes thus far with the Sixers trailing big in the fourth.

Embiid went back to the locker room late in the third quarter against the Jazz holding his ribcage, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.

Embiid was rubbing his right ribcage area as he made his way back to the locker room while talking to the team trainer. It's unclear how the incident occurred and if he'll return before Thursday's action concludes.

Embiid ended Wednesday's victory over Charlotte with 32 points (8-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 15-19 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes.

Embiid followed up his 43-point performance Monday with 32 points Wednesday. The 27-year-old did most of his damage from the free-throw line hitting 15 of 19 which was his second highest free throw total of the season. The four-time All-Star is now averaging a fantastic 34.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists over his last three games.

Embiid finished with 43 points (15-20 FG, 1-2 3PT, 12-14 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 41 minutes Monday's 127-124 victory over the Hornets

Embiid put together an impressive shooting night, and he also got to the charity stripe, attempting 10 or more free throws for the fourth time in 2021. The big man has now turned in five consecutive double-doubles and has proven to be nearly unstoppable in the paint and on the glass when healthy.

Embiid scored 16 points (4-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 30 minutes in a 101-96 win over the Magic on Monday.

Embiid couldn't replicate his 42 point, 14 rebound masterclass from his return to action Saturday, instead struggling with efficiency Monday. Regardless, Embiid seems healthy and has been aggressive in getting to the charity stripe (31 free throws in his past two games). Monday's double-double is a fair indication of Embiid's fantasy floor moving forward.

Embiid contributed 42 points (12-23 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 16-21 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 45 minutes during Saturday's 121-120 2OT loss to the Timberwolves.

Embiid returned from a nine-game absence due to COVID-19 protocols to drop a season-high 42 points. The star big man was aggressive early and often, getting to the free-throw line a season-high 21 times. This performance should be a great sign for fantasy managers, as it appears Embiid will be all systems go moving forward. The Sixers don't have a back-to-back during their upcoming three-game week, so Embiid shouldn't be in danger of missing any games due to rest or conditioning issues.

Embiid (COVID-19 protocols) is available against the Timberwolves on Saturday, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Embiid sat out the Sixers' previous nine games recovering from COVID-19. Considering its severity and his injury susceptibility, fantasy managers may not receive maximized value immediately. They shouldn't have to wait too long though. Embiid averaged 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks across his last nine games before the positive COVID-19 test.

Embiid (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

As expected, Embiid is on the verge of making his return, which could come as soon as this weekend. He's been out due to protocols and hasn't played since Nov. 6 -- a nine-game absence. If the star center returns, he figures to be on a minutes limit.

Embiid (COVID-19 protocols) could make his return Saturday against Minnesota, Michael K-B of CBS Sports reports.

Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers said Monday that Embiid "passed one of the tests" and is working out at the team's practice facility in Camden, according to Rich Hofmann of The Athletic. There hasn't been confirmation of a second passed test, which would remove Embiid from COVID-19 protocols, but it's still a great sign to see him working out and getting his conditioning back. The star center didn't travel with the Sixers during their six-game road trip that ends Wednesday at Golden State, but it appears he may be able to play when the team returns home Saturday to face Minnesota. Before his extended absence, Embiid was averaging 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 blocks across 30.9 minutes per game.

Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers suggested Tuesday that Embiid, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 8, isn't expected to rejoin the 76ers for the remaining four contests of its six-game West Coast road trip, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "With Matisse [Thybulle, who is also following the NBA's health and safety protocols], it's just trying to get the right date with the league," Rivers said. "It's a lot of clutter going on. I'll leave it at that. With Joel, the same thing, just t

Though both Embiid and Thybulle are vaccinated, the latter player seems more likely of the two to rejoin the 76ers at some point over the remaining four games of the road trip after entering the NBA's health and safety protocols two days prior to Embiid. The 76ers have struggled to a 1-4 record without Embiid -- and a few other key players -- over the past five games, and the star center's absence loomed especially large in a blowout loss in Utah on Tuesday, when replacement starter Andre Drummond was manhandled by Rudy Gobert. If Embiid does in fact remain out through the duration of the 76ers' road trip that concludes Nov. 24 at Golden State, Rivers would likely continue to rely on Drummond and a melange of small-ball centers as matchups dictate.

Updating a previous report, Embiid has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols and is expected to miss several games, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The Sixers were already planning to rest Embiid for Monday's game against the Knicks, but it looks like he'll now be set for a longer absence after becoming the latest big-name player to enter COVID-19 protocols. It's unclear just how many contests Embiid could end up missing, but he should be pulled from lineups in most weekly fantasy leagues. Expect Andre Drummond to fill in at center and see big minutes for as long as Embiid remains sidelined.

Embiid will be rested for Monday's game against the Knicks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

With the Sixers entering the first half of a back-to-back set, Embiid will take a seat as the team makes a concerted effort to ease the strain on his knees, which have already been an issue in the first few weeks of the season. For the most part, Embiid has played through the soreness -- this will be only his second absence of the season -- but the Sixers will be cautious with the big man as they begin a four-game week. Expect Andre Drummond to start in Embiid's place at center.

Embiid posted 30 points (11-19 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 34 minutes in Saturday's win over Chicago.

Embiid was coming off three straight games with 19 or fewer points, but he bounced back in a big way here -- the 30-point haul tied his season-best mark to date. The star big man has not been scoring as much as he's done it in past years, though, and his 21.4 points per game through his first nine appearances represent his lowest output since his rookie year.

Embiid posted 19 points (6-15 FG, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and a steal in 30 minutes on Thursday in a 109-98 win over the Pistons.

Despite shooting under 50 percent for this fifth-consecutive game, Embiid solidified his performance by knocking down seven free throws. Thursday marked the first game of the season in which Embiid didn't attempt a three, but he is also mired in a 3-for-15 cold spell from deep. Embiid will next face Chicago on Saturday. He had 19 points, nine rebounds and seven assists against the Bulls on Wednesday.

Embiid (knee) is listed as available for Thursday's game against Detroit.

Embiid has been bothered by a sore knee in the early going, and he was considered questionable for Thursday's contest after playing 34 minutes in Wednesday night's win over Chicago. The big man will ultimately play in both halves of the Sixers' first back-to-back of the season, which is a very encouraging sign for fantasy managers. Philadelphia plays at Chicago on Saturday before starting Week 4 with another back-to-back set (Monday vs. New York; Tuesday vs. Milwaukee).

Embiid (knee) intends to play Thursday against the Pistons, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Embiid was initially listed as questionable but is in line to play in a second straight game. The 76ers are dealing with key absences to Tobias Harris (COVID-19 protocols) and Danny Green (hamstring), so Embiid will be even more of an offensive focal point than usual.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Embiid returned to the court Wednesday and nearly posted a double-double with 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in 34 minutes. However, Andre Drummond and Paul Reed will likely see increased run in the frontcourt if Embiid is held out in the second half of the back-to-back set.

Embiid delivered 18 points (6-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-9 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block across 34 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Bulls.

Embiid ended just one rebound and three assists away from putting what would've been his first triple-double of the season, and it's safe to say his numbers have not been as stellar as they've been in past years. Through seven appearances, Embiid has scored more than 20 points just three times and only has one double-double to his name. That's far from what he accomplished last year when he averaged 28.5 points and 10.6 boards per contest. Right now, his 20.6 points and 8.7 rebounds per game would both be the lowest marks he's posted since his rookie year.

Embiid (rest) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's tilt against the Bulls.

After getting Monday's game against Portland off for rest, Embiid will be back on the court. He's had ups and downs while battling through a knee injury. In 30.0 minutes, Embiid is averaging 21.0 points on 43.0 percent shooting, 8.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals.

Embiid will be rested for Monday's game against Portland, Aaron Fentress of The Oregonian reports.

The big man will take a seat for the first time this season as the Sixers make an effort to monitor his workload amid ongoing knee soreness. Embiid has played between 26 and 33 minutes in every game thus far on his way to averaging 21.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.7 blocks per contest. HIs absence should clear the way for Andre Drummond to start Monday's game. Keep an eye on Embiid's status later in the week when the Sixers play their first back-to-back set (Wednesday vs. Chicago; Thursday at Detroit).

Embiid finished with 19 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Saturday's 122-94 victory over the Hawks.

As per usual, Embiid came into the game with a questionable tag but was ultimately cleared to play. In what was a one-sided affair, Embiid did enough to put up value, yet failed to deliver an elite performance. Given what we know about his troublesome knees, Embiid is likely to be on and off the injury report for the majority of the season and so fantasy managers simply need to hope he can continue the current trend, making him available most nights.

Embiid (knee) has been cleared to play in Saturday's matchup with the Hawks, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Embiid was listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game as he continues to manage knee soreness. Expect him to take on his usual role in the 76ers' frontcourt assuming he avoids any type of setback.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Saturday's contest against the Hawks.

Embiid continues to deal with right knee soreness but has yet to miss a game. In 30.0 minutes, he's averaged 21.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals.

Embiid recorded his first double-double of the season Thursday in a win over the Pistons after tallying 30 points (8-19, 1-4 3Pt, 13-15 FT) and 18 rebounds to go along with three assists and a steal in 31 minutes.

Embiid reminded the league why he's one of the best big men around after exploding for 30 points and 18 rebounds. Prior to Thursday night, the seven-footer had been averaging only 19.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Embiid made it public he's been playing through a knee injury to begin the year but showed no signs of being slowed down against Detroit. The 28-year-old plans to continue playing through the issue and will look to build off his stellar performance when the Hawks come to town Saturday.

Embiid (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Embiid was a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's matchup, and he'll serve as a starter once again. Across his first four appearances of the season, he's averaged 19.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 29.8 minutes per contest.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Embiid has dealt with a lingering knee issue to begin the season, but he's started every game and has played at least 30 minutes in each of his last three appearances. Andre Drummond and Paul Reed are in line for expanded roles if Embiid is unable to suit up.

Embiid posted 14 points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-11 FT), six rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 33 minutes Tuesday, as the 76ers fell to the Knicks 112-99. He also had five turnovers.

Embiid was unable to make his typical impact, being routinely doubled by Knicks defenders. Yet to boom this season, Embiid still ranks among the top-10 in player efficiency rating and will continue settling in without Ben Simmons (not injury related) for the foreseeable future.

Embiid (knee) will play in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.

While there's reason to be concerned that Embiid's knee is already giving him trouble, he'll suit up and start for the fourth consecutive game to begin the season. Andre Drummond, who missed Sunday's win over the Thunder, will also be available and serve as Embiid's backup.

Embiid (knee) is expected to play Tuesday against the Knicks, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Coach Doc Rivers stopped short of officially giving Embiid the green light, but he said the big man is on track to once again play through soreness in his right knee. While it's not a good sign that Embiid is already dealing with discomfort, he's played in all three games thus far and has looked mostly like himself, averaging 21.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.3 steals in 29.7 minutes.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Embiid has landed on the injury report with right knee soreness ahead of each of the last two games, but he's been able to play through the injury. If the 27-year-old is unavailable Tuesday, Andre Drummond (ankle) and Charles Bassey will be in line for additional work in the frontcourt.

Embiid finished with 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, three blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 115-103 victory over the Thunder.

Despite popping up on the injury report, Embiid took his place in the lineup Sunday, walking away with a well-rounded performance. While his offensive production was perhaps a little underwhelming, his fantasy managers simply have to be thrilled that he was out there against what could have been viewed as sub-par opposition. Health is the ongoing issue with Embiid and we just need to hope he can stay out there in the hope he finally realizes his full potential.

Embiid (knee) will start Sunday's game against the Thunder, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

A sore knee landed Embiid on the injury report heading into the day, and the Sixers ruled him a game-time call roughly 90 minutes before tip. However, after going through pregame warmups, the big man has been cleared to start at his usual center spot as the Sixers look to bounce back from Friday's five-point loss to the Nets. Coach Doc Rivers did not state whether Embiid will face any specific limitations, but the Sixers will likely keep a close eye on his sore right knee.

Embiid (knee) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

A sore knee has kept Embiid's status up in the air throughout the day, and it looks like the Sixers will take the decision down to the wire. The big man has played in each of the Sixers' first two games, most recently tallying 19 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and two steals in Friday's loss to the Nets. While the knee issue doesn't look to be overly serious, Embiid has a lengthy history of lower-body injuries, so the fact that he's already banged up three games into the season isn't the most encouraging sign.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Thunder.

Embiid has been dealing with knee soreness in the first two games of the season, and he is averaging 20.5 points on 43.8 percent shooting, 7.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.5 steals in 28.0 minutes. It's not clear if the issue will continue to be day-to-day, but the possibility is clearly there that he could need some time off to rest.

Embiid recorded 19 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during a 114-109 loss Friday versus Brooklyn.

Though he played well, Embiid is still suffering from his right knee. It received a large protective wrap at one point and forced him to limp during the game's final seconds. His fantasy owners should remain wary of that knee injury. But if it is healed, they will continue to benefit from Embiid's unparalleled talent.

Embiid (knee) will be in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Nets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid landed on the injury report prior to the game due to knee soreness. It is a little concerning that the issue popped up already prior to the second game of the season, but it looks like the team may have just been erring on the side of caution with that designation. Andre Drummond would be in line for a big role increase should he end up suffering any type of setback.

Embiid is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets due to right knee soreness.

It didn't take long for the injury-prone center to land on the injury report, as he's dealing with knee soreness after the first game of the season. During the opener, he posted 22 points, six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 26 minutes. If Embiid sits out Friday, Andre Drummond would be in line for a massive role increase, and Tobias Harris would presumably become the No. 1 scoring option.

Embiid notched 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block across 26 minutes in Wednesday's win over New Orleans.

Embiid wasn't at his best from an efficiency perspective, but he managed to carry the Sixers offensively and scored a team-high 22 points -- alongside Furkan Korkmaz -- to lift Philadelphia to a win in the season opener. The star big man might sacrifice a few touches on offense once Ben Simmons (suspension) returns to the hardwood, but there's no question he should be one of Philadelphia's go-to players on a nightly basis.

Embiid will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Pistons.

Nothing to see here. The hold Embiid and Danny Green out for rest purposes, while Tobias Harris (knee), Shake Milton (ankle) and Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) have also been ruled out. Embiid dominated in limited action throughout the postseason and enters 2021-22 as one of the elite big men both in the NBA and in fantasy basketball.

Embiid (rest) will play in Thursday's preseason game against the Raptors, Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reports.

As expected, Embiid will play Thursday after sitting out Monday's preseason opener. He'll presumably start but probably won't see his typical workload.

Embiid (rest) will "most likely" play in Thursday's preseason game against the Raptors, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philly reports.

Embiid was held out of Monday's exhibition opener for rest purposes, but it looks as though coach Doc Rivers will look to get him some minutes Thursday. The Sixers will likely be very cautious with Embiid over the remaining three preseason games after he finished last season with a partially torn meniscus.

Embiid will be held out of Monday's preseason opener against the Raptors, Kevin McCormick of ClutchPoints reports.

No surprise here, as the Sixers are expected to load-manage their franchise player throughout the exhibition schedule. Embiid figures to make an appearance or two, but his sights are set firmly on being ready to roll for the regular-season opener against New Orleans on Oct. 20.

Embiid and the 76ers are expected to finalize a four-year, $196 million supermax extension Tuesday, Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.com reports.

Already due $65 million on the five-year extension he signed in October 2017, Embiid will now take home $261 million through the 2026-27 season after coming to terms on the supermax deal. The 27-year-old became eligible for the supermax deal after finishing second in NBA MVP voting in 2020-21, when he averaged a career-high 28.5 points per game while posting career-best percentages from the field (51.3), free-throw line (85.9) and three-point range (37.7). Embiid sustained a meniscus tear in his knee during the playoffs, but he was able to play through the injury and didn't require offseason surgery.

Embiid totaled 31 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 41 minutes during Sunday's 103-96 loss to the Hawks.

Embiid did everything he could in the loss but was unable to get his team over the hump, once again. Another positive season comes to an end for the 76ers and based on what we have seen over the past couple of years, it could be time to make some changes in Philadelphia. Embiid's future seems guaranteed at this point and so it is likely to be the role players that could be flushed out. Injuries also continue to be an issue for the big man and so while his production is unquestioned, longevity is a question that may hang around for the remainder of his career.

Embiid (knee) will be available for Sunday's Game 7 against Atlanta, John Clark of NBC Sports Philly reports.

The big man is technically listed as questionable on the injury report, but his status has never truly been in doubt as the Sixers head into an ultra-important elimination game. Embiid has played through a small tear in his meniscus throughout the series, and while he's showed signs of fatigue, at times, he's mostly looked like himself, averaging 30.3 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steal and 2.2 blocks through the first six games. In Game 5, Embiid went for 37 points, 13 boards, five assists and four blocks before posting 22 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks (with eight turnovers) in Friday's Game 6 victory.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 against the Hawks.

Embiid continues to be questionable due to his small lateral meniscus tear, but it would be shocking if he didn't play in the do-or-die Game 7. Over the past three games, he's averaged 25.3 points, 15.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 blocks in 37.7 minutes. However, he's shot just 39.1 percent from the field.

Embiid finished with 22 points (9-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two blocks and an assist across 38 minutes in Friday's win over the Hawks.

Embiid has recorded three straight double-doubles and has accomplished that feat in four of the six games of the series, while also scoring at least 20 points on five different occasions. The impact Embiid has on both ends of the court is huge for the Sixers, and Philadelphia needs him to have a big Game 7 if the Sixers want to advance to the next round. Considering Embiid is averaging 30.3 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.2 blocks per game in the series, he could be in line to carry the Sixers on Sunday.

Embiid (knee) is starting Game 6 against Atlanta on Friday.

Embiid was questionable once again heading into Friday's matchup, but he'll continue to play through his knee injury as the 76ers attempt to stave off elimination in Game 6. The 27-year-old has averaged 32.0 points, 13.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 36.4 minutes per game across the first five contests in the series.

Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable for Game 6 against Atlanta on Friday.

Embiid has been listed as questionable for every game so far in this series, but he hasn't had to miss any time so far. Outside of a rough outing in Game 4, the center seemingly hasn't been impacted by a small meniscus tear, as he's averaging 32.0 points on 48.0 percent shooting, 13.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.2 blocks per game so far in the series.

Embiid notched 37 points (12-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals across 39 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Hawks.

Embiid was coming off a woeful performance in Game 4, going 4-for-20 from the field and going 0-for-12 in the second half, but he bounced back here and was one of two Philadelphia players that recorded more than 35 points. The star big man has scored 37 or more points in three of the five games during the current series, and while Atlanta has been extremely focused on slowing him down, Embiid continues to be a key figure on offense for the 76ers -- and an excellent play across all fantasy formats.

Embiid (knee) is available and starting in Wednesday's Game 5 against the Hawks.

Embiid was once again listed as questionable, but it's no surprise he'll continue playing through the knee injury. The 27-year-old will attempt to get back on track after struggling in Game 4 with 17 points (4-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 21 rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

As expected, Embiid continues to be listed as questionable ahead of games. He struggled mightily in Game 4, going just 4-for-20 from the field, including 1-for-4 from deep. However, he was still able to grab 21 rebounds and dish four assists. It would be surprising if he sat out Wednesday.

Embiid notched 17 points (4-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 21 rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes in Monday's loss against the Hawks.

Embiid went 0-for-12 from the field in the second half and was unable to carry the Sixers when the Hawks mounted a huge comeback, but the fact that he still pulled down 21 rebounds salvaged his fantasy performance. Even though the star big man was coming off three straight games with at least 27 points in the series, there's no question the Sixers need more out of him if they want to advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Expect Embiid to try and come out with a more aggressive mindset in Game 5 to be played at Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Embiid (knee) will play in Game 4 against Atlanta on Monday, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Embiid will continue to be available in the series despite a small meniscus tear. He's scored at least 35 points in three of his last five games.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against Atlanta.

Embiid has been dealing with a small meniscus tear, but he's been able to play through the injury during the first three games of the series. The 27-year-old has averaged 35.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 35.7 minutes per game across his last three appearances. While his injury has still been a concern, his performance hasn't dropped off to begin the second round.

Embiid registered 27 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 12-16 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and a steal across 34 minutes in Friday's win over the Hawks.

Embiid not only paced the Sixers in scoring, but he also ended just one rebound and two assists shy of completing a triple-double. The star big man has scored 22 or more points in all but one of his playoff appearances this season, and he's also scored at least 35 points in four of their last five postseason contests.

Embiid (knee) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Embiid will continue to play through a knee injury. It hasn't hindered him so far this series, as he has produced 39.5 points on 54.3 percent shooting to go along with 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 triples and 1.5 steals through two games. While the injury remains a concern, look for him to take on his usual workload assuming he avoids any type of setback.

Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable for Game 3 against Atlanta on Friday.

Embiid has been lights out to start the series, but he continues to pop up on the injury report due to the partially torn meniscus in his right knee. Based on the first two games, it's very likely that the All-Star center will play in Game 3, considering he's averaging 39.5 points on 54.3 percent shooting, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 blocks, 1.5 triples and 1.5 steals per game. The injury remains somewhat of a concern, but it certainly hasn't appeared to bother him as much as many anticipated.

Embiid recorded 40 points (13-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 12-16 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 35 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Hawks.

Embiid was a game-time call for the second game of the series and once again thrived, carrying the Sixers to a massive win in front of their own crowd. The star big man only lasted 11 minutes in Game 4 of the first-round series against the Wizards due to a knee injury that still has him a bit limited, but the numbers don't reflect that -- the MVP candidate is averaging 29.2 points per game through six playoff games thus far.

Embiid recorded 40 points (13-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 12-16 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 35 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Hawks.

Embiid was a game-time call for the second game of the series and once again thrived, carrying the Sixers to a massive win in front of a rowdy home crowd. The star big man only lasted 11 minutes in Game 4 of the first-round series against the Wizards due to a partially torn meniscus that still has him a bit limited, but his numbers against the Hawks certainly don't reflect that. In 73 total minutes, Embiid has racked up 79 points, 22 rebounds, six assists, four blocks and three steals.

Embiid (knee) will play in Tuesday's Game 2 against the Hawks.

Embiid was unsurprisingly a game-time call with his small meniscus tear, but he'll end up playing. He was effective in Game 1 despite the loss, as he posted 39 points, nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 38 minutes.

Embiid (knee) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Hawks, though coach Doc Rivers is optimistic the center will play, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

The 27-year-old was also considered a game-time call for Game 1 before putting up 39 points (12-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 14-15 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and a steal in 38 minutes. Embiid should be on the court for Game 2 unless things don't go as planned in warmups.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's Game 2 against Atlanta.

Embiid was able to play through his injury in Sunday's Game 1 and neared a double-double with 39 points and nine rebounds in 38 minutes. However, he's still dealing with his knee issue ahead of Tuesday's matchup. If the 27-year-old is held out, Dwight Howard and Mike Scott could see increased run.

Embiid delivered 39 points (12-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 14-15 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and a steal across 38 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Hawks.

Embiid missed Game 5 of the first-round series against the Wizards and while there were concerns about how much he could handle in terms of his workload, but he erased those concerns as soon as he stepped on the hardwood and delivered his third 30-point game of the current playoff run. The star big man is averaging 27.0 points per tilt in the postseason and should remain the Sixers' go-to player on offense as long as he's able to remain healthy -- which is always a big "if" when it comes to him, especially considering that he already picked up an injury in the previous series.

Embiid (knee) will play and start in Game 1 against Atlanta on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

After he missed the Game 5 series-clinching win in the first round against Washington, Embiid is ready to return for the second round. It's an encouraging sign that the 27-year-old center won't have to miss any additional time with the knee injury, but his health will be worth monitoring going forward in the series. In the first round, Embiid scored at least 30 points in two of the four games he was available for.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Hawks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Before determining his final playing status, Embiid will go through treatment and a workout. That said, he wasn't able to participate in live action during Saturday's practice, which doesn't seem to bode well for his chances of playing Sunday. Even if he does take the court, it seems possible, if not likely, that Embiid will be on a minutes limit.

Embiid (knee) "did what he could do" during Saturday's practice, but that did not include live action, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid's status for Game 1 is still unknown following a small meniscus tear during the 76ers' first-round series against the Wizards. Considering how limited he was at Saturday's practice, it would be a surprise to see him play in Sunday's contest.

Embiid's status is still in the air for Sunday's game against the Hawks, although he did attempt shooting drills at practice Friday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Coach Doc Rivers shared that it's still too early to know if Embiid will be healthy enough to play in Game 1, but he did say that the center "looked great" in shooting drills. The MVP candidate didn't attempt any live drills at practice. Embiid's status should be more clear within the next day.

Embiid (knee) has been diagnosed with a small meniscus tear and will be day-to-day after sitting out Wednesday's Game 5 against the Wizards, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid has avoided a truly serious knee injury, but even a small meniscus tear puts his availability in question for the rest of the series, if not the rest of the playoffs. The Sixers should be able to close out the series against the Wizards even without Embiid, so we shouldn't be surprised if he sits out unless a shocking Game 7 occurs. While the star center is sidelined, expect Dwight Howard and Mike Scott to see increased run.

Embiid (knee) is doubtful to play in Game 5 against the Wizards on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid had an MRI on his right knee on Tuesday, which resulted in him being labeled as "doubtful" for Wednesday's game. Wojnarowski reported that the 27-year-old MVP candidate is set for further evaluations in the next day, which should shed more light on his availability going forward. If Embiid is ruled out for Game 5, Dwight Howard and Mike Scott could see upticks in minutes.

Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers said Embiid (knee) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Brian Windhorst of ESPN reports.

Embiid put up eight points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 11 minutes Monday before exiting the 76ers' 122-114 loss in Game 4 with a right knee injury following a hard fall. The big man initially remained in the game and finished out the first quarter, but he went to the locker room thereafter and never returned. The MRI should shed more light on the extent of Embiid's injury, but for now, his status for Wednesday's Game 5 -- and the remainder of the first-round series -- is up in the air.

Embiid (knee) will not return to Game 4 against the Wizards on Monday, Derek Bodner of The Athletic reports.

Embiid took a spill in the first quarter which apparently triggered soreness in his right knee. He had played 11 minutes in Monday's game, totaling eight points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal prior to the injury. If Philadelphia closes out the series against the Wizards, Embiid would have time off prior to a Round 2 series.

Embiid (undisclosed) is headed to the locker room in the first half of Game 4 against in the Wizards on Monday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

It's not clear as of yet what potential injury Embiid is headed to the locker room for, but he took a fall in the opening quarter of the game. It's With Philadelphia holding a 3-0 lead in the series, the team will likely be cautious with the starting center.

Embiid registered 36 points (14-18 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, three steals, two assists and a block across 28 minutes in Saturday's win over the Wizards.

Embiid was absolutely dominant on both ends of the court and recorded a playoff-high scoring output while missing just four shots all game long. Embiid has not played more than 30 minutes in any of the games during the current series but continues to make a huge impact for the Sixers, as he's averaging 29.3 points per game while shooting an impressive 67.4 percent from the field over his first three postseason appearances.

Embiid had 22 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in Wednesday's Game 2 win over Washington.

This time around, the Sixers didn't let the Wizards hang around, as they jumped out to a double-digit first-quarter lead and never looked back. Both Embiid and Ben Simmons finished with 22 points, while Tobias Harris (19), Tyrese Maxey (10) and Furkan Korkmaz (13) also scored in double figures. The Sixers are off Thursday and Friday before the series shifts to D.C. for Game 3 on Saturday.

Embiid had 30 points (9-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 12-13 FT), six rebounds, three assists and a block in Sunday's Game 1 win over the Wizards.

The game was a bit closer than the Sixers would've liked, but they played well down the stretch and held off a Wizards team that was more than prepared to put up a fight. Embiid missed all three of his attempts from downtown, but he worked his way to the line 13 times and finished as a team-best plus-20 in 30 minutes of action. Philly will have a pair of off days Monday and Tuesday before Game 2 arrives Wednesday night.

Embiid (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Orlando, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid played through his non-COVID-19 illness Friday and was probable for Sunday's game, but he'll be held out for the final game of the regular season. Dwight Howard and Mike Scott should see increased workloads.

Embiid (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against the Magic.

The 27-year-old played through the non-COVID-19 illness Friday and delivered 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 23 minutes, and he continues to battle the ailment. The Sixers have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, so even if Embiid plays as expected he likely won't have a full workload.

Embiid mustered 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 23 minutes in Friday's win over the Magic.

Embiid has played 25 minutes or fewer in three straight games, as the Sixers are being extra cautious with the star big man ahead of the upcoming playoff run. The limited minutes didn't prevent Embiid from notching another double-double, though. His fantasy upside might not be as high as one would expect considering the Sixers do not have much to play for in the final game of the regular season.

Embiid (illness) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Orlando.

The center has been dealing with a non-COVID related illness dating back to Tuesday but ultimately gets the starting nod for a second straight matchup. Across 50 appearances this year, Embiid is averaging 28.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists per contest.

Embiid (illness) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Magic.

Embiid played through the non-COVID illness Thursday against Miami, but he looked like a shell of himself, finishing with just six points and two rebounds in 25 minutes of action. While it was a disappointing performance, the fact that he's listed as "probable" Friday is a positive indication that he's moving in the right direction.

Embiid tallied six points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and two steals over 25 minutes in a loss to the Heat on Thursday.

Embiid missed Philadelphia's previous game due to an illness, and he appeared to still be less than 100 percent Thursday as he finished with his worst performance of the campaign. This was only the second time this season that the big man did not score at least 10 points; the other instance was also against Miami in mid-January. Embiid will look to shake off this clunker and get back up to speed in Philadelphia's final two regular-season games this weekend.

Embiid (illness) will play in Thursday's game against the Heat, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.

The Sixers kept Embiid's status under wraps for much of the day, so it's possible he's still feeling the effects of the illness that kept him out of Tuesday's loss to the Pacers. Either way, he'll be in the starting lineup at center and is not expected to face any explicit limitations. In his last outing against Detroit on Saturday, Embiid finished with 29 points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes.

Embiid (illness) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Heat.

Embiid missed Tuesday's game against the Pacers due to an illness, prompting Mike Scott to start at center. If Embiid misses Thursday's game, he has just two more chances to take the floor during the regular season.

Embiid (illness) is out Tuesday against the Pacers, Derek Bodner of The Athletic reports.

A non-COVID illness will prevent Embiid from playing Tuesday, and he'll miss his first game since April 24. In his place, Dwight Howard should see plenty of run.

Embiid is questionable for Tuesday's game at Indiana with a non-COVID-19 illness.

The 27-year-old posted 29 points (11-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, an assist and a steal in 23 minutes Saturday, and it's unclear when the ailment first surfaced. Embiid's availability figures to depend on how he's feeling as opening tip approaches Tuesday.

Embiid provided 29 points (11-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Saturday's 118-104 win over the Pistons.

Coach Doc Rivers is utilizing Embiid only as much as is necessary as the team prepares for its playoff run. Despite only seeing 23 minutes, Embiid did swift and significant damage with a hefty FP-per-minute count. His performance doesn't do much to improve his resume for MVP consideration, however.

Embiid will play in Saturday's game against the pistons, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Embiid is officially good to go for the second half of the 76ers' back-to-back after his monster performance in Friday's win over the Pelicans. The MVP candidate posted 37 points, 13 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 33 minutes of action Friday and he's managed a double-double in each of the last four games. He should be available for his usual workload on Saturday.

Embiid is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Pistons due to injury recovery management.

Embiid accumulated 37 points (11-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 12-12 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Friday's 109-107 victory over the Pelicans. With the 76ers playing the second night of a back-to-back set it appears they are considering resting the MVP candidate. Should that ultimately be the case, look for Dwight Howard and Mike Scott to see increased minutes. Still, more clarity on his status should come closer to tip-off.

Embiid totaled 37 points (11-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 12-12 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Friday's 109-107 victory over the Pelicans.

Embiid has four straight double-doubles while scoring at least 34 points in three of them. One of Embiid's most valuable traits is his ability to not only get to the charity stripe, but make his freebies. Friday was Embiid's 21st outing this season getting to the line at least 10 times and missing two or fewer free throws.

Embiid (rest) will play Friday against the Pelicans, Derek Bodner of The Athletic reports.

There was a chance Embiid would be rested, but that won't be the case. Over his past 16 appearances, he's averaged 27.4 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 blocks in 29.6 minutes.

Embiid is questionable for Friday's contest against the Pelicans due to left knee injury recovery.

Embiid has played in the past six games, and he's averaged 22.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in 27.7 minutes. If he rests Friday, Dwight Howard would likely see increased run.

Embiid collected 34 points (10-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 14-16 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block in a 135-115 victory over the Rockets on Wednesday.

Embiid needed just three quarters to pick up his 22nd 30-point game of the season and second in his last three contests. Philadelphia entered the fourth quarter with a big lead, which allowed their star center to sit out the entire final period. Embiid has averaged 27.0 points and 11.3 rebounds across his last three games.

Embiid notched 13 points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 33 minutes in Monday's win over the Bulls.

Embiid couldn't follow up his 34-point performance from Sunday and had one of his worst games of the season from a shooting perspective, but he still contributed a double-double while also pacing Philadelphia in the blocks department. The star big man has six double-doubles over his last 10 appearances.

Embiid delivered 34 points (13-23 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 12 rebounds and an assist across 35 minutes in Sunday's overtime win over the Spurs.

As it has been the case all season long, Embiid carried the Sixers on both ends of the court in a game that turned out to be more complicated than expected. The star big man had gone four straight games without clearing the 25-point mark, and he's been so good that he's still averaging 28.9 points per game over his last 11 appearances.

Embiid dropped 18 points (6-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 25 minutes of Friday's 126-104 win over the Hawks.

Embiid's production has been limited over his last four games due to the blowout nature of said contests as he is averaging just 20.0 points and 5.3 rebounds across 25.0 minutes per contest. In Embiid's previous four outings, he was averaging 35.3 points and 14.3 rebounds over 33.5 minutes. While Embiid's numbers have been significantly lower of late, he's still one of the most elite players in both the NBA and fantasy.

Embiid dropped 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 127-83 victory over the Hawks.

Embiid's time was limited thanks to the blowout nature of Wednesday's game. That's three straight outings that Embiid has failed to record a double-double because of blowouts and his fourth straight contest without reaching double-digit free throw attempts. Wednesday also marked the first time in nine games that Embiid had failed to top 20 points.

Embiid posted 21 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, three steals and an assist across 23 minutes in Monday's win over the Thunder.

Embiid's shoulder injury sidelined him for just one game and while he only played 23 minutes due to the nature of the contest -- the Sixers won by 31 points -- he still paced the team in the scoring column. The most important thing for the 76ers is that Embiid looked healthy, though, and he should be able to handle his regular workload Wednesday against the Hawks.

Embiid (shoulder) will play Monday against Oklahoma City, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid is available to return from a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury and he'll take his usual spot in the starting lineup. His return means Dwight Howard will take on his backup center position as normal as well.

Embiid (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.

Embiid was a late scratch for Saturday's game against Milwaukee due to right shoulder soreness. If he's unable to return to the court Monday, Dwight Howard could see increased run for the 76ers as a result.

Embiid (shoulder) is a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.

Despite being confirmed to the starting lineup about 10 minutes earlier, Embiid has been ruled out due to a shoulder injury. Dwight Howard should see extra run as a result.

Embiid (shoulder) will play Saturday against the Bucks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Despite some right shoulder soreness, Embiid will take the court. Over the past nine games, he's averaged 30.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 blocks in 30.9 minutes.

Embiid (shoulder) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Coach Doc Rivers is optimistic about Embiid's chances of playing, but the center will still test his shoulder pregame. If Embiid ends up shelved, more minutes will be available for Dwight Howard.

Embiid is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Bucks due to right shoulder soreness.

Embiid played just 27 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Bucks and suffered a shoulder injury in the process. If he sits out Saturday, it will be his first absence since April 4, and Dwight Howard would see more run as a result.

Embiid (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the second half and did not return to the game during Thursday's 124-117 loss Milwaukee, Justin Garcia of Courtside Live reports.

The team did not announce any injuries for Embiid and likely opted to keep his workload light in the second half of a back-to-back. The game was not as close as the final scoreline indicated, with the Bucks holding a big lead for most of the game. Across 27 minutes, he had posted 24 points (9-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block. Embiid should be available for Saturday's rematch against the Bucks.

Embiid (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against Milwaukee.

It had previously been reported that Philadelphia would consider resting Embiid in the second half of the back-to-back after he played 33 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Phoenix, but it looks like he'll be available in his usual starting role. The MVP candidate is posting ridiculous averages of 35.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 triples, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per game over his last five outings.

Embiid accumulated 38 points (14-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes Wednesday in the 116-113 loss to the Suns.

Over his last five outings, Embiid has four 30-point performances and four double-doubles. With 60 percent of the Sixers' normal starters missing, Embiid accounted for 33.6 percent of the team's scoring. His 17 rebounds were the most he's grabbed during the month of April and his nine offensive rebounds tied a career high.

Embiid (rest) will play Wednesday against the Suns, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Embiid was a candidate to be rested on the front end of the back-to-back set, but he'll end up playing. Over his past eight appearances, he's averaged 29.9 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 blocks in 30.9 minutes.

Embiid is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Suns due to left knee recovery.

Embiid could be rested on the front end of the 76ers' Wednesday-Thursday back-to-back set. If he's out, more minutes would be available for Dwight Howard and Mike Scott.

Embiid dropped 28 points (8-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes Monday in the 107-96 loss to the Warriors.

While Embiid's 30-point streak came to an end at three games, his double-double streak was extended to three after failing to record one in his previous six contests. He is the only player to attempt, and make, double-digit free throws per game and is among the top three in percentage for centers. Embiid's eight assists were the most he's had in a game since dishing out nine dimes back on Feb. 17.

Embiid dropped 36 points (10-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 16-18 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's victory over the Nets.

Embiid has made a living at the charity stripe over his last three games, going a combined 40-for-44. During that span, Embiid has accounted for 32.5 percent of Philly's point total. He's also posted consecutive double-doubles for the first time since Feb. 27 - March 3.

Embiid posted 39 points (13-29 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 33 minutes in the victory Wednesday over the Nets.

Embiid struggled early on with DeAndre Jordan but quickly turned things around in the second quarter, getting Jordan into foul trouble. He has posted consecutive 30-point performances for the first time since doing so in four straight games from Feb. 11 to Feb. 19. Though injuries could potentially cost Embiid the MVP award this season, there's no denying his ability when he's on the court as he posts dominating numbers on a nightly basis. He's averaging a career high this year in shooting percentage (both overall and from distance) and points.

Embiid totaled 36 points (10-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 14-15 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and a steal in 26 minutes of Monday's victory over the Mavs.

Monday night was the Joel Embiid show. The Mavericks could not find any answer for the Philly big man who dropped his 36 points in just three quarters. Embiid has also now managed to get to the free throw line 15 or more times on three separate occasions this month. The downside is that the former Kansas Jayhawk has now gone six straight games without grabbing double-digit rebounds but his scoring production more than makes up for it.

Embiid tallied 27 points (10-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9), nine rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 27 minutes during Saturday's 117-93 win over the Thunder.

The 27-year-old bounced back from Friday's 14-point effort to post 27 points in 27 minutes. Embiid also swatted four shots, giving him 13 games in a row with at least one block. The fifth-year center has now played three games in a row, including a back-to-back set, which bodes well for his rest-of-season availability. Embiid should play all the minutes he can handle the rest of the way with the 76ers only 1.0 games behind the Nets for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Embiid (knee) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Thunder.

Despite awkwardly landing on his knee Friday, Embiid will play during the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday. Across his past three appearances, he's averaged 24.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 assists in 31.0 minutes.

Embiid fell awkwardly on his knee during Friday's 101-94 loss to the Pelicans, and his status for Saturday's game against the Thunder is uncertain, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid recorded 14 points (5-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 31 minutes during Friday's matchup. Coach Doc Rivers said that the plan was to play Embiid in the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday, but the team will now wait before determining his status against Oklahoma City. If Embiid is held out Saturday, Dwight Howard and Mike Scott could see increased run for Philadelphia.

Embiid scored 35 points (9-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 16-20 FT) to go along with six rebounds, one assist and one block across 33 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Celtics.

Embiid reached the free-throw line at least 20 times for the second time this season, and used that as his primary method of scoring. He struggled from deep but otherwise shot well from the field. While the rest of his line wasn't particularly impressive, it was encouraging to see Embiid reach a relatively full minutes workload after missing 12 of the team's last 15 games with a knee injury.

Embiid (injury recovery) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Boston.

Embiid was held out Sunday on the second half of a back-to-back after he had returned Saturday from a 10-game absence. The All-Star center should be in line for his regular workload on Tuesday, which means Dwight Howard and Mike Scott would see their workloads decreased.

Embiid (injury recovery) will not play Sunday against Memphis, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

The team will not play Embiid in the second half of a back-to-back, giving him extra time to rest after he returned Saturday from a left knee bruise. Dwight Howard and Mike Scott will benefit from Embiid's absence. The 27-year-old center should have a decent chance to return Tuesday against Boston.

Coach Doc Rivers said after Saturday's game that he isn't sure if Embiid (knee) will play Sunday in the second half of a back-to-back, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

The team will understandably be cautious with Embiid after he returned Saturday from a 10-game absence due to a left knee bruise. The 27-year-old center looked like his usual self in his return, posting 24 points and eight boards across 28 minutes. If Embiid is held out for Sunday's game, Dwight Howard and Mike Scott would likely be looking at increased roles.

Embiid tallied 24 points (6-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 12-17 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and two assists in 28 minutes during Saturday's win over the Timberwolves.

Embiid (knee) didn't miss a beat in his return to the starting lineup after missing 10 games due to a left knee bruise. Before Saturday's game, the 27-year-old was posting career highs in points (29.9), steals (1.2) and field-goal percentage (52.5) in 31 games. He looked healthy Saturday, which bodes well for his rest-of-season outlook. The fifth-year center should hover between 30-40 minutes the rest of the way for a 76ers team barely staving off the Nets for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Embiid (knee) will play and start Saturday against the Timberwolves, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

After 10 missed games due to a left knee bruise, Embiid will rejoin the lineup. It wouldn't be surprising to see him garner fewer minutes than usual. His return will mean fewer minutes for Dwight Howard and Mike Scott.

Embiid (knee) is officially questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

A bruised left knee has kept Embiid sidelined for 10 straight games, but he could return Saturday. If he does, expect the MVP candidate to be on a minutes limit in his first game back. His return will likely also result in fewer minutes for Dwight Howard and Mike Scott.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers but could be available for Saturday's matchup with the Timberwolves, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

The 27-year-old resumed on-court activities last weekend and continues to ramp up his conditioning as he appears to be in the final stages of his recovery from a bruised left knee. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Embiid is expected to retake the court Saturday at Minnesota rather than waiting for the second half of the back-to-back set Sunday versus Memphis. The 76ers plan to provide a formal update on his status Friday.

Embiid (knee) has resumed on-court activities and is ramping up his conditioning, and the next update on his status will be provided "as appropriate," Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid getting back on the court is a good sign, but the 76ers failed to expand on the original timetable of two weeks, which would have Embiid returning at the end of this month. That doesn't seem plausible, so it's not exactly clear when he'll be back. While he's sidelined, Dwight Howard and Mike Scott should occupy most of the team's center minutes.

Embiid (knee) is expected to miss roughly two weeks due to a bone bruise, but his MRI results showed that both his ACL and meniscus are fine, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

This is a huge relief for Embiid, as he exited Friday's game after coming down awkwardly following a dunk and looked to be in considerable pain. While it looks like he will be sidelined for roughly two weeks, the good news is he avoided a significant injury. His absence should free up Dwight Howard to see some extended playing time in the immediate future, while Mike Scott and Tony Bradley could also see a slight boost in usage. A realistic potential return date at this point for the big man would seemingly be March 30 against the Nuggets.

Embiid will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his knee injury, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid exited Friday's game after coming down awkwardly after a dunk, and he was in considerable pain. More information regarding the severity of the injury could be revealed once the results of the MRI are known. The center has been initially diagnosed with a hyperextended knee.

Embiid went to the locker room in the third quarter of Friday's game against Washington with an apparent left knee injury, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Embiid landed awkwardly on his left leg in the third quarter and appeared to be in considerable pain on the ground while holding his left knee. He was able to limp off the court under his own power and immediately went to the locker room. The exact nature and severity of the injury isn't yet known.

Embiid (COVID-19 protocols) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid missed the Wizards' last game after missing the All-Star Game due to COVID-19 protocols, but he'll officially return to action Friday. He should see plenty of run with Ben Simmons (COVID-19 protocols) still out.

Embiid (COVID-19 protocols) is probable for Friday's game at Washington.

The 26-year-oold missed the first game out of the All-Star break due to the NBA's health and safety protocols, but he's expected to be back on the court Friday. Assuming he's available, Embiid could have a heavier workload with Ben Simmons (COVID-19 protocols) still unavailable.

Embiid (COVID-19 protocols) will not play Thursday against the Bulls, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Embiid will have to remain in a seven-day quarantine through at least Thursday after he had to sit out the All-Star game due to being exposed to a barber who tested positive for COVID-19. If he continues to test negative, he would be available a return Friday against Washington. Dwight Howard looks to be in line for a bigger role at least for Thursday's contest.

Embiid (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) appears to be "on pace" to play Thursday in Chicago, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Both Embiid and Ben Simmons were forced to sit out the All-Star Game over the weekend after the two were exposed to a Philadelphia-area barber who tested positive for COVID-19. Fortunately, neither Embiid nor Simmons appears to have tested positive or exhibited any symptoms of the virus since being forced to self-isolate, so both should be ready to rejoin the team if they continue to test negative over a five-day period. Embiid will still have to miss the 76ers' initial post-All-Star break practices, however, which could prompt head coach Doc Rivers to limit the center's minutes Thursday even if he gains clearance.

Embiid and teammate Ben Simmons won't play in Sunday's All-Star Game after being in contact with an individual infected with COVID-19, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Both players had contact with a barber that initially produced an inconclusive test, and he tested positive on a subsequent test. Team LeBron and Team Durant will both be down one player for Sunday's contest with Embiid and Simmons sidelined. The pair has a few days to clear the COVID-19 protocols before the first game of the second half Thursday at Chicago.

Embiid and teammate Ben Simmons may be ineligible to play in Sunday's All-Star game due to contact tracing from an individual likely to be infected with COVID-19, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The contact came through the pair's personal barber, who is being retested after producing an inconclusive initial result, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Embiid is a starter for Team Durant if cleared to play Sunday.

Embiid went off for 40 points (14-27 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-13 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 40 minutes in the 76ers' 131-123 overtime win over the Jazz on Wednesday.

Embiid has dropped 40 points now in two of his last three games while collecting double-doubles in each outing. Once again, he made a living at the free throw line, making double-digit free throws for the 17th time this season. His 19 rebounds are tops for Embiid this season. In his last three games, he's averaging 35.3 points, 15.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 blocks per game.

Embiid had 24 points (10-17 Fg, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and a block in Monday's win over the Pacers.

Doc Rivers called Embiid "very questionable" heading into the night, but the big man did not appear to be hampered by his sore right ankle, cruising to his sixth double-double in his last seven games in just 27 minutes of action. Prior to Monday, Embiid had attempted double-digit free throws in 10 consecutive games dating back to Feb. 6.

Embiid (ankle) is available and will start Monday versus the Pacers, tom reports.

Coach Doc Rivers said pregame that the 26-year-old was "very questionable" to play Monday, but he'll take his usual place in Philadelphia's starting five. Embiid is coming off a huge performance against the Cavaliers on Saturday, when he had 42 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 40 minutes.

Sixers coach Doc Rivers said Embiid (ankle) is "very questionable" to play in Monday's game against Indiana, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.

Embiid emerged from Saturday's loss to the Cavs with a sore right ankle, and it's still bothering him to the point that he could end up missing his first game since Feb. 15. In the event Embiid is ultimately ruled out, Dwight Howard and Tony Bradley would likely handle most of the minutes at center. Philadelphia is already without Tobias Harris, who will miss a second straight game due to a knee issue.

Embiid is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers due to left ankle soreness.

Embiid posted a double-double with 42 points and 13 rebounds in Saturday's loss to the Cavaliers, but he's now dealing with an ankle issue that puts his status for Monday's game into jeopardy. If he's unable to play, Dwight Howard, Tony Bradley and Mike Scott should see increased run for Philadelphia.

Embiid registered 42 points (13-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 14-16 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and a steal across 40 minutes in Saturday's overtime loss against the Cavaliers.

Embiid had been struggling from the field in recent games while making a living out of his free-throw shooting, and while the second tendency was maintained, he did show improvement in his shooting figures as a whole and surpassed the 40-point mark for the fourth time this season. He also has five double-doubles in his last six games.

Embiid dropped 23 points (5-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-12 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 28 minutes of Thursday's victory over the Mavericks.

Embiid has now shot 30 percent or less in three straight games, going 14-for-53 over that span. Although he's struggled shooting from the field, Embiid has made a living at the free throw line, getting to the charity stripe 10 or more times in nine straight games and hitting on 87.1 percent. Although he only grabbed nine boards, he sat out the last two minutes of the third quarter and the entire fourth with the game well in the bag for the Sixers. In 11 February games, Embiid is averaging 31.5 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks while taking 12.3 free throws per game.

Embiid had 18 points (3-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 36 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Raptors.

Embiid extended his streak of double-doubles to four games, but he had a rough night offensively and only made three of his 13 shots while also looking notoriously uncomfortable in the paint. Embiid also ended a streak of 14 games with at least 25 points, so this is probably an outing the star big man will try to forget as soon as possible.

Embiid went for 25 points (6-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 36 minutes during the loss to the Raptors on Sunday.

While his shot wasn't falling, Embiid's performance was just another day at the office. He's now gone for at least 25 points in 14 consecutive games while adding nine double-doubles during that stretch. For the season, Embiid is hitting a career high in field goals, three-pointers and free throws as well as posting a career best in points per game.

Embiid registered 50 points (17-26 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 15-17 FT), 17 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals across 35 minutes in Friday's win over the Bulls.

Embiid had looked dominant in past games this season, but he took his game to another level Friday -- he was a one-man show Friday en route to his career-best scoring output while also tying a season-best mark for rebounds and putting a season-high output in blocks. Embiid is clearly not going to score 50 points on a nightly basis and his numbers might reduce a bit once Ben Simmons (illness) returns to action, but there's no question the center has been one of the most productive players in The Association over the last few weeks. He has scored at least 31 points in eight of his last nine appearances while grabbing double-digit rebounds five times in that stretch.

Embiid recorded 31 points (10-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists, two steals and a block across 37 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Rockets.

Embiid ended just one assist shy of putting up his first triple-double of the campaign, though he did register a season-high mark in assists while grabbing double-digit rebounds for the 15th time. He has been absolutely dominant this season and could be in line for an even bigger role if Ben Simmons (illness) is forced to sit out Friday's matchup against the Bulls.

Embiid (back) will play Wednesday against Houston, Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reports.

The 26-year-old was considered probable for Wednesday's contest, so it's hardly a surprise he's been cleared to take the court. Embiid could shoulder more of the offensive load since Ben Simmons (illness) is sitting out versus the Rockets.

Embiid (back) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

The 26-year-old was a late scratch for Monday's contest with a back issue, but he's expected to be back on the court Wednesday. Embiid averaged 33.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 34.2 minutes over the previous six games before sitting out Monday.

Embiid (back) will not play in Monday's matchup against the Jazz, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

They 76ers originally declared Embiid available for Monday's contest, but have ultimately scratched him minutes before tip-off. He presumably did not feel up to par during pregame warmups. In his absence, look for Dwight Howard and Tony Bradley to see some extra run. The star big man's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus Houston.

Embiid (back) has been cleared to play Monday against Utah, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.

Embiid was able to participate in shootaround and will be ready to roll for Monday's clash after initially being handed a questionable tag due to back tightness. He's averaging 33 points. 9.6 rebounds, three assists, 1.4 steals and one block over his last five contests.

Embiid (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Embiid racked up 35 points and eight rebounds during Saturday's loss to Phoenix, but he's now dealing with back tightness that puts his status for Monday's game into jeopardy. If he's unable to play, Dwight Howard and Tony Bradley should see increased run for the 76ers.

Embiid finished Saturday's loss to Phoenix with 35 points (12-23 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and a steal over 36 minutes.

The big man continues to score at a torrid pace, having now tallied 25 or more points in 11 straight games. Over that stretch, he is averaging 34.3 points and 10.1 rebounds along with one block per contest. Embiid's season per-game averages of 29.6 points, 10.8 boards and 1.2 blocks have him firmly in the league MVP discussion.

Embiid recorded 35 points (13-25 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-11 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks Thursday in a 118-114 loss at Portland.

Embiid's season high of 25 field-goals attempted helped him surpass 30 points for the 10th time this season. Though he suffered another loss to the Trail Blazers, Embiid has improved his play to be considered one of the NBA's most valuable players. He is averaging 29.4 points and 10.9 rebounds across 21 games, with the former on pace to be his season high.

Embiid finished with 25 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 13-14 FT), 17 rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocked shots across 35 minutes in a victory versus Sacramento on Tuesday.

Embiid briefly exited to the locker room in the third quarter after suffering a cut to his knee, but his return was never really in doubt and he ended up leading Philadelphia in both scoring and rebounding in the contest. Though his field-goal percentage was far from ideal, the big man enjoyed a banner performance at the charity stripe, missing only one of his 14 attempts. Embiid's fantasy value has shot up this season due, in part, to career-best percentages from the field (54.7 percent) and the free-throw line (85.5 percent), and he is also contributing career-high per-game marks in scoring (29.1 points) and steals (1.4). There are few players at any position who can offer as much value across the board as Embiid has this season.

Embiid had 33 points (10-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 12-14 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and three steals across 31 minutes in Saturday's win over the Nets.

Embiid had another dominant night, and he extended his run of games with at least 28 points to eight contests -- he's the first Philadelphia since Allen Iverson to accomplish that feat. Embiid might rest on a regular basis, but he's a dominant force on both ends of the court when he's available and should remain one of the league's premier big men going forward across all formats.

Embiid (knee) will play Saturday against the Nets, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Despite right knee soreness, Embiid will play Saturday. Across his past five appearances, he's averaging 33.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 33.6 minutes.

Embiid is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets due to right knee soreness.

Embiid has been no stranger to the injury report this season -- or for his career for that matter -- and may not play Saturday. If he ends up shelved, look for Dwight Howard to draw the start.

Embiid notched 37 points (14-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 34 minutes in Thursday's loss against the Trail Blazers.

Embiid had to handle most of the scoring load with Ben Simmons (calf) being sidelined and Tobias Harris struggling from the floor, but he responded with his sixth game of 35-plus points this season. Embiid has been performing at an All-Star level this season and should remain an elite fantasy contributor across all formats going forward. For what is worth, he has scored 34 or more points in three straight contests.

Embiid went for 34 points (11-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block over 34 minutes during Wednesday's victory over the Hornets.

In his last six games, Embiid has recorded five 30-point double-doubles. He continues to be the motor that propels the 76ers roster. Embiid also extended his streak of double-digit free throw attempts to six games.

Embiid (back) is off the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

After missing Sunday's matchup against the Pacers due to back soreness, Embiid will be back in action Wednesday. Across his past five appearances, he's averaging 35.6 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 blocks in 32.6 minutes.

Embiid (back) practiced Tuesday and is expected to play Wednesday against the Hornets, ... reports.

Embiid missed the team's last game with a back issue, but coach Doc Rivers said he looked fine at practice on Tuesday. The 26-year-old 7-footer is averaging a ridiculous 35.6 points on 56.0 percent shooting, 10.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 triples and 1.0 block per contest over his last five outings.

Embiid (back) will not play in Sunday's game against the Pacers, Kyle Neubeck of Philly Voice reports.

The big man has been playing through a sore back of late, but the ailment will keep him sidelined Sunday as the Sixers play for the second time in three nights. It will be the fifth missed game of the season for Embiid, who started Philly's last two contests after sitting out Monday against Detroit. Expect Dwight Howard and Tony Bradley to handle most of the minutes at center.

Embiid (back) is questionable for Sunday's action against the Pacers.

Embiid continues to deal with back tightness, but he's played in each of the past two games. He's on an MVP-like tear, averaging 35.6 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 blocks. If he's forced to sit out Sunday, Dwight Howard would step into a bigger role.

Embiid finished with 37 points (10-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 16-18 FT), 11 boards, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes of a 118-94 win against the Timberwolves on Friday.

Embiid posted a dominant offensive performance in his team's win. He was one of three players on his team with a double-double in the contest. His road trip will continue against the Pacers on Sunday.

Embiid (back) is starting Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

Embiid has been bothered by back soreness that led to a questionable designation heading into Friday's contest. However, he'll be able to join the starting five against Minnesota.

Embiid is questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to back tightness.

Embiid continues to be bothered by back soreness, which caused him to miss Monday's loss to the Pistons and was likely aggravated during Wednesday's win over the Lakers. If he sits out Friday, Dwight Howard and Tony Bradley would likely see the majority of minutes at center.

Embiid recorded 28 points (8-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-13 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks Wednesday in a 107-106 home win against the Lakers.

Embiid's performance Wednesday showed just how crucial he will be for the Sixers this season. When Embiid logged 20 points over the first and third quarters, his team took a commanding lead before letting its opposition come back. Unsurprisingly, Embiid is their main reason why they are first place among all Eastern Conference teams (13-6) at the moment. He averaged 27.7 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks across 15 games (13 of them wins).

Embiid (back) is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Back soreness prevented Embiid from playing Monday against the Pistons, but he'll be back in action Wednesday for a marquee matchup against the Lakers, who have yet to lose a road game. Embiid's offensive and defensive game have reached new heights this season, with the big man averaging 27.7 points on 15.9 shots, 11.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks in 31.6 minutes.

Embiid (back) will not play in Monday's game against Detroit, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

After dominating the Pistons to the tune of 33 points and 14 rebounds on Saturday, Embiid landed on the injury report with a questionable designation due to a sore back. The Sixers will ultimately hold him out of action -- likely on a precautionary basis -- as they head into a four-game week which features a showdown against the Lakers on Wednesday. Expect Dwight Howard and Tony Bradley to absorb most of the minutes at center Monday.

Embiid (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Embiid had a monster performance Saturday against Detroit, but he's questionable once again as he continues to deal with back tightness. If he's unable to play, Dwight Howard would likely see increased run for Philadelphia.

Embiid notched 33 points (10-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-17 FT), 14 rebounds, an assist, a steal and two blocks across 35 minutes in Saturday's win over the Pistons.

Another game, another monster performance by Embiid. The star big man continues to prove he's been one of the best fantasy players in the entire league this season and his numbers don't lie. He has scored 30 or more points in four of his last five contests while recording four double-doubles in that stretch.

Embiid (back) will play Saturday against the Pistons, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Despite some back soreness, Embiid will play on the second night of the back-to-back. He's been great this season, averaging 27.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 31.3 minutes.

Embiid is questionable for Saturday's game against Detroit with back tightness.

The center likely aggregated his back injury sometime during the 76ers' win against Boston on Friday when he posted 38 points and 11 rebounds in 30 minutes of action. If Embiid is unable to give it a go Saturday, Dwight Howard will presumably garner the start.

Embiid recorded 38 points (11-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 14-15 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists in a 122-110 win Friday versus Boston.

Embiid mostly took perimeter shots Wednesday when he scored 42 points against Boston. He utilized a different approach Friday by largely attempting field goals in the paint. Embiid has provided MVP-caliber production during recent matchups; if able to subtract his performance on Jan. 14 (vs. Miami), he would have averaged 41.7 points across Philadelphia's past three games.

Embiid led all scorers with 42 points (12-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 17-21 FT, while adding 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 33 minutes in Wednesday's 117-109 win over the Celtics.

That is now two 40-point outings in the last three games for the 26-year-old. Embiid had his way with the Celtics as he made it to the free throw line a season-high 21 times. For the season, Embiid now has nine double-doubles in 12 games.

Embiid (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Coach Doc Rivers said earlier Tuesday that the 26-year-old was expected to play Wednesday, and he's now officially clear of the injury report. Embiid was set to miss two games over the weekend due to a sore right knee, but he only missed one contest since the other was postponed due to COVID-19 issues.

Coach Doc Rivers said Tuesday that he expects Embiid (knee) to play Wednesday against the Celtics, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid missed Philadelphia's last game with right knee pain, but he is expected to return Wednesday after coach Rivers said he was took part in practice on Tuesday. Dwight Howard will return to a bench role if Embiid is indeed able to return to the lineup. Embiid has appeared in 11 of 14 games so far this season.

Embiid (knee) and the 76ers will not play Sunday against the Thunder after the game was postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Contact tracing within the Sixers left the team without the requisite eight players, so Sunday's game will be played at a later date. Embiid, who missed Saturday's game, was not going to play in the contest due to a sore right knee.

Embiid will not play Saturday against the Grizzlies or Sunday against the Thunder due to right knee pain, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid has been on a tear this season, but he's come down with knee pain and will take some time off. In his stead, Dwight Howard and Tony Bradley should see the bulk of the minutes at center.

Embiid recorded nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 125-108 win over the Heat.

The 76ers were able to quickly take care of business against the short-handed Heat, and Embiid was able to take it easy most of the way. Thursday's performance will end up being an outlier for the big man.

Embiid (back) will play Thursday against the Heat.

Despite back soreness, Embiid will play as expected. Last time out against this bare-bones Heat team, the 76ers went into overtime, with Embiid recording 45 points, 16 rebounds, five steals, four assists and one block in 39 minutes.

Embiid (back) is probable for Thursday's game against the Heat.

Embiid was dealing with back soreness prior to Tuesday's monster overtime win over the Heat where he posted 45 points, 16 rebounds, five steals, four assists and one block in 39 minutes. The soreness is lingering ahead of Thursday, but Embiid is still likely to play.

Embiid scored a game-high 45 points (16-23 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 13-13 FT) while adding 16 rebounds, five steals, four assists and a block in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 overtime win over the Heat.

Both teams were missing key players due to COVID-19 protocols, but Embiid had a little more help around him and, more importantly, didn't have to worry about Bam Adebayo. The result was season highs in points and steals for the Sixers center, and he tied his season high in boards as well. Embiid now has eight double-doubles in 10 games to begin the season.

Embiid (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

The 26-year-old was considered probable with back soreness, so it's not much of a surprise he'll be suiting up Tuesday. Embiid is averaging 24.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.7 blocks in 31.2 minutes this season and figures to have his usual workload versus Miami.

Embiid (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Miami.

Embiid returned from a one-game absence for Monday's loss to Atlanta, but he saw limited action (23 minutes) and finished with 24 points and 11 boards in the 112-94 defeat. Embiid is on track to take the floor on the second half of the back-to-back set, which is an encouraging sign considering his history of sitting out in these scenarios. So far in 2020-21, Embiid has been rested for one back-to-back (Dec. 27) and played both games of another (Jan. 6 and Jan. 7).

Embiid (back) posted 24 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block in 23 minutes of Monday's 112-94 loss to the Hawks.

After missing Saturday's game with a sore back, Embiid returned to a short-handed 76ers roster that was missing eight players either due to COVID-19 issues or injury. While Embiid didn't play his normal amount of minutes, he was still able to manage his seventh double-double of the season and took the most shots during Monday's game.

Embiid (back) will return to action Monday against Atlanta, Derek Bodner of The Athletic reports.

Embiid was held out of Saturday's game against Denver due to a sore back, but he'd also expressed concerns about potential COVID-19 exposure. Nonetheless, Embiid made the trip to Atlanta with the team and will be back in the lineup at center for what will likely be a depleted Sixers team. Philly has five games on the schedule this week, though that includes a pair of back-to-back sets, so it's unlikely that Embiid is available for all five contests.

Embiid (back) traveled with the 76ers to Atlanta and is considered probable for the team's game Monday versus the Hawks, Ramona Shelbourne of ESPN.com reports.

Shortly after expressing concerns about potentially being exposed to COVID-19 following teammate Seth Curry's positive test, Embiid cleared the NBA's health and safety protocol, but he ended up sitting out Saturday's loss to the Nuggets due to back soreness. Fortunately, the back issue doesn't appear to be a major concern for Embiid, who should be cleared to play Monday if he experiences no setback in morning shootaround or pregame warmups. The 76ers are expected to be without as many as eight players Monday, so Embiid's availability in any capacity is even more critical than usual. Philadelphia is one of two teams playing five games in Week 4, but with Monday/Tuesday and Saturday/Sunday back-to-back sets on tap, it would be a surprise if Embiid suited up for every contest.

Embiid is out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to back tightness, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid and Ben Simmons (knee) have both been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets with new injuries, and with the team down a handful of players due to coronavirus protocols, this has created a tough situation for the team and the league. Mike Scott (knee) was surprisingly made available, so it appears the organization is still doing what it can to make sure the game still gets played.

Embiid (health and safety protocols) is eligible to play in Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The 76ers were in danger of not having enough eligible players for Saturday's game, but the game will be played since Embiid was one of several players to clear the protocols. Embiid isn't guaranteed to play Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. However, he appears to be on the right track toward playing for the 76ers against Denver.

Embiid is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to health and safety protocols.

Embiid's status for Saturday's matchup is up in the air after teammate Seth Curry tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. If Embiid is unable to play, Dwight Howard could start in his place.

Embiid scored 20 points (7-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT) to go with 12 rebounds, three assists and one block across 30 minutes in a 122-109 loss to Brooklyn on Thursday.

Embiid found his rhythm after it was too late, shooting 4-for-5 from the field in the fourth as Brooklyn already held a comfortable lead. The 26-year-old has scored 28.4 points per game when playing 30 or more minutes this year, surpassing the 30-minute mark in all but two games this season. The center has shot an impressive 40.9 percent from three this season, far and away the highest mark of his career. Embiid has averaged a double-double this season, grabbing 9.7 rebounds on the defensive end alone.

Embiid registered 38 points (11-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 13-13 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 141-136 win over the Wizards.

Embiid surpassed the 30-point mark for the first time in the current campaign, but he also provided value on both ends of the court with a season-high mark in assists and steals while tying his season-best output for blocks. While he's not expected to flirt with 35-point performances on a nightly basis, Embiid is the clear go-to player on offense for the 76ers and his scoring numbers reflect that role.

Embiid put up 14 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in Monday night's 118-101 win over the Hornets.

Embiid has now put up double-doubles in back-to-back games. Though his 14 points were a season-low, he only played in 25 minutes with the Sixers far-ahead for most of the game. After starting the season with four consecutive games going over 20 points, Embiid has now gone back-to-back games failing to reach the 20-point mark.

Embiid had 19 points (7-11 FG, 1-2, 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in Saturday's 127-112 win over the Hornets.

Embiid saw a streak of double-doubles end in Thursday's game at Orlando, but he got right back into it by recording one Saturday. The center now has two double-doubles in his past three games, but he will need to provide better ball security than the five turnovers recorded in both instances.

Embiid amassed 21 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Thursday's 116-92 victory over the Magic.

Embiid appeared healthy in the victory despite popping up on the injury report prior to the game. The fact he played 27 minutes in a game that was decided early on in the piece indicates his back is not a major concern. The Sixers now sit at 4-and-1 on the season and as a unit, look as functional as they in recent memory. As long as Embiid can maintain some semblance of health, he should be able to provide a solid return on where he was being drafted.

Embiid (back) is listed as available on the Sixers' injury report prior to Thursday's game against the Magic.

Embiid missed Sunday's game against the Cavaliers with a sore back, but that appeared to be primarily a maintenance day, as he returned for Tuesday's game against the Raptors and played a season-high 38 minutes. His inclusion on the injury report as probable prior to Thursday's game hinted at a possible flare-up, but any issues there are evidently minor.

Embiid (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game at Orlando.

A sore back kept Embiid out of Sunday's loss to the Cavs, but he returned Tuesday against Toronto and posted a 29-point, 16-rebound double-double with four assists, two steals and two blocks. The Sixers are still keeping an eye on his back, but Embiid should be good to go after a day off Wednesday.

Embiid scored a game-high 29 points (7-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 14-16 FT) while adding 16 rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 100-93 win over the Raptors.

Philly fans held their breath in the third quarter when Embiid went down clutching at his right hamstring, but after being helped to the locker room he returned to the court fairly quickly and seemed no worse for wear. The fifth-year center is off to a huge start to the season, scoring at least 27 points with a double-double in all three games he's suited up for, but the fact that the 26-year-old is still being rested for one half of back-to-backs does put a limiter on his fantasy upside, even if his per-game numbers take another step forward. Embiid will look to dominate again during Thursday afternoon's road clash with the Magic.

Embiid returned to the court after suffering an apparent right leg injury during Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

The 26-year-old headed to the locker after picking up the injury, but he was able to retake the court relatively quickly. Embiid had 18 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes before sustaining the injury during the third quarter.

Embiid (back) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Toronto.

As expected, Embiid will be back in the lineup after tightness in his back kept him out of Sunday's loss to the Cavs. Embiid will start at center and is not expected to be limited.

Embiid (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

The 26-year-old was a late scratch for Sunday's matchup with Cleveland due to back tightness, but it appears his absence will be limited to one game. Embiid should be back in the starting lineup Tuesday, though the 76ers are liable to remain cautious after the back flareup.

Embiid has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to tightness in his back, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Chances are, Embiid's absence is more maintenance-related than anything else, as the Sixers play on the second night of a back-to-back. Dwight Howard will get the start at center, with Tony Bradley set for backup minutes.

Embiid recorded 27 points (10-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal during Saturday's win at New York.

Embiid needed only 26 minutes to log his second double-double this season. He scored 20 points during the first half and grabbed 10 rebounds after three quarters. Embiid will look to be more consistent in both categories considering he recorded a good but improvable 37 double-doubles last season.

Embiid recorded 29 points (10-17 FG, 1-1 3PT, 8-9 FT), 14 rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes in the 113-107 win over Washington on Wednesday.

Embiid came to play in the win Wednesday. The center easily led Philadelphia with his overall play on both ends of the court. He posted a double-double and just missed a perfect night from the line. Embiid will not always be a point machine, but his board play is tremendous and will always be candidate for rebounds night in and night out.

Embiid (illness) returned to practice on Sunday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Embiid was held out of the team's final preseason contest due to a minor illness, so it's a good sign that he was quickly able to rejoin the squad for practice. The 26-year-old 7-footer looks like he'll be ready to go for Wednesday's regular season debut against the Wizards. Last season he averaged 23.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 threes per game.

Embiid (illness) will not play during Friday's preseason game against the Pacers, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

The team said the illness is not COVID-related and that Embiid is being held out as a precaution. The regular season begins Wednesday for Philadelphia when they host the Wizards. Considering Embiid is being held out for precautionary measures for this preseason game, he will likely be ready to go for regular season action.

Embiid posted 18 points (6-14 FG, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in only 17 minutes during Tuesday's 108-99 preseason win over the Celtics.

Embiid looked absolutely dominant on both ends of the court, finishing as the Sixers' second-best scorer while also contributing defensively despite playing around one quarter and a half. Big things are expected from Embiid this season, and the big man surely looked promising against one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.

Embiid tallied 30 points (8-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 13-18 FT), 10 rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 37 minutes during Sunday's 110-106 loss to the Celtics.

Embiid tried his very best but it wasn't enough as the 76ers were bundled out of the playoffs in straight sets. In another disappointing season for the team, changes would seem almost inevitable at this point. Embiid's talent is unquestioned; however, his durability remains a concern. Where he goes in drafts next season is simply going to come down to whether people have faith in his ability to remain healthy.

Embiid went for 30 points (7-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 14-16 FT), 13 rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block in 35 minutes during Friday's 102-94 Game 3 loss against the Celtics.

Embiid has registered double-doubles in the three games of the series so far, but at times it feels as if the star big man has been carrying Philadelphia on both ends of the court and that hasn't been enough against a red-hot Celtics squad. Embiid is averaging 30 points and 13 rebounds per game in the three games of the series, although he's shooting just 46.4 percent from the field in that stretch.

Embiid went for 34 points (11-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and a block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 128-101 Game 2 loss against the Celtics.

Embiid has notched back-to-back double-doubles in the first two games of the first-round series against the Celtics and, while his two performances have not been enough to lead Philadelphia to wins, he's certainly looking like a productive fantasy asset, especially now that he's the undisputed go-to guy on offense with Ben Simmons (kneecap) sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Embiid went for 26 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 16 rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 38 minutes during Monday's 109-101 Game 1 loss against the Celtics.

Embiid carried the Sixers on both ends of the court, but his efforts were not enough to pull the upset in the series opener against Boston. Embiid's usage rate should remain quite high ahead of Wednesday's Game 2 considering the absence of Ben Simmons (kneecap), which makes the uber-talented big man the undisputed top offensive option in the 76ers roster.

Embiid (ankle) will start at center in Friday's regular season finale against the Rockets, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

The 76ers are already locked into a playoff matchup with the Celtics, so it is a little surprising they are letting Embiid play with an ankle issue. However, like the other starters, they presumably just want him to stay in his normal routine. The most likely situation is that he will start the game but ultimately see a light workload.

Embiid (ankle) is a game-time call for Friday's contest against the Rockets, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

It wouldn't be surprising if the 76ers held out the star big man considering they're already locked into a playoff matchup against the Celtics, but Embiid will still go through pregame warmups seemingly with the intention of taking the court. If he's out, Novelle Pelle and Kyle O'Quinn should see plenty of minutes.

Embiid is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets due to left ankle soreness.

It's unclear whether Embiid will play in the 76ers' final seeding game. He injured his hand during Wednesday's game and exited, but it's his ankle that put him on the injury report for Friday. If the star big man sits, Kyle O'Quinn should see plenty of run.

Embiid had X-rays on his right hand come back negative and won't return to Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

The 26-year-old missed Tuesday's contest with an ankle injury and was hit on the hand during the first half Wednesday, so it's not much of a surprise the Sixers are remaining cautious with him already set to play limited minutes. Embiid had five points (1-4 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one steal, one block and five turnovers in 14 minutes prior to exiting. It's unclear if he'll play in Friday's final seeding game versus Houston, especially with Philadelphia already locked into the sixth seed.

Embiid (ankle) will play and start Wednesday against the Raptors, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

After suffering an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Embiid was held out of Tuesday's contest against the Suns. It will end up being just a one-game absence for the star big man, who is returning for the Sixers' second-to-last seeding game. It's not immediately clear if Embiid will be on a minutes limit, but we shouldn't be surprised if he sees a smaller workload than usual. That said, coach Brett Brown may want to try to get Embiid into a rhythm heading into the postseason given that the center will undoubtedly need to take on a bigger share of the offense with Ben Simmons (kneecap) out for the foreseeable future, likely for the entire playoffs.

The 76ers are optimistic that Embiid's ankle injury is not serious, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Philly has already ruled Embiid out of Tuesday's game against Phoenix, but Woj notes that there's considerable optimism that Embiid will be back on the court in the near future. The Sixers play two more seeding game (Wednesday and Friday) before the postseason begins next week.

Embiid (ankle) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Suns, Marc Stein of the New York Times reports.

We're still waiting on more of a definitive timetable for Embiid, who departed Sunday's game with the injury, but he won't play Tuesday as the Sixers enter the first half of a back-to-back set. Al Horford (knee) is considered questionable, so if both players are ultimately held out, Philly would be without its top two centers.

Embiid has been diagnosed with a left ankle injury and will not return to Sunday's game against the Blazers, Marc Stein of the New York Times reports.

In oddly similar fashion to Ben Simmons' knee injury last week, it's unclear how, exactly, Embiid suffered the injury, but he departed the game in the first quarter and returned to the locker room for further evaluation. An exact diagnosis has not been released, so until the 76ers say otherwise, Embiid should be considered day-to-day. Philadelphia plays a back-to-back set Tuesday and Wednesday before finishing out its seeding-game schedule Friday against Houston.

Embiid departed Sunday night's game against the Trail Blazers with an apparent left foot injury, Marc Spears of ESPN reports.

Embiid struggled through six minutes of play before coach Brett Brown called a timeout to remove the big man from the game. Embiid initially returned to the bench, but he then headed to the locker room for further evaluation. For now, consider Embiid questionable to return.

Embiid scored 23 points (7-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-13 FT) while adding 13 rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes during Friday's win over the Magic,

Embiid was paired with Al Horford in the frontcourt and looked absolutely dominant, as he registered his third double-double in four Orlando games. The star big man is averaging 30.3 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 steals in 33.8 minutes per game across four Orlando contests.

Embiid posted 30 points (11-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 107-98 win over the Wizards.

Embiid made easy work of the Wizards' inexperienced frontline on both ends of the court. It's only the second time in Embiid's career that he's posted at least 30 points, 11 boards, three assists, three steals and two blocks. With Ben Simmons' (hamstring) status unclear for Friday's game against the Magic, Embiid could be in line for an even bigger workload.

Embiid notched 41 points (15-23 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 21 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 127-121 loss against the Pacers.

T.J. Warren grabbed most of the attention with his 53-point performance, but Embiid did what he could to keep the Sixers in the game -- he recorded his second-best scoring output of the season while also tying his season-best mark for rebounds. The big man was dealing with a calf injury prior to this game, but the fact that he logged 34 minutes should mean he is ready to handle his regular workload moving forward.

Embiid (calf) is not on the injury report for Saturday's opener against the Pacers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

As expected, Embiid will be available for the opener after working past a calf injury. After the New Year, Embiid is averaging 22.9 points on 15.4 shots, 10.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.7 minutes per game.

Embiid (calf) is expected to play in Saturday's seeding game opener against the Pacers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid missed the 76ers' final two scrimmages while dealing with right calf soreness, but the injury was ultimately minor and he'll be able to play Saturday. Look for Embiid to start alongside Ben Simmons while Al Horford comes off the bench. After the New Year, Embiid is averaging 22.9 points on 15.4 shots, 10.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.7 minutes per game.

Embiid (calf) will not scrimmage Tuesday against the Mavericks, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid missed Sunday's scrimmage as well due to the issue, and the team will continue to hold him out after he participated in a light practice Monday. It seems likely he'll be good to go for Saturday's opener against the Pacers, but until we get any concrete information, he should tentatively be considered questionable.

Embiid (calf) is scheduled to participate in a light practice Monday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

A tight right calf prevented Embiid from playing in Sunday's scrimmage with the Thunder, but the injury only looks to be a day-to-day concern for the star center at this juncture. The 76ers will wait and see how Embiid's calf responds to Monday's workout before determining whether he's fit to play in the exhibition finale Tuesday against the Mavericks. Al Horford replaced Embiid in the starting five Sunday but is expected to fill a bench role if the 76ers are at full strength when the season restarts Saturday against the Pacers.

Embiid (calf) will not play in Sunday's scrimmage against the Thunder, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

After experiencing discomfort in his right calf during Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Embiid will be forced to miss Sunday's scrimmage against the Thunder. While the injury is disheartening, the big man is only considered day to day and will be re-evaluated Monday. Embiid will still have an opportunity to participate in the 76ers' final scrimmage game on Tuesday against the Mavericks before the team plays in its first seeding game on Saturday against the Pacers.

Embiid posted 10 points (3-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes during Friday's 90-83 scrimmage win over the Grizzlies.

Embiid was only able to make one field goal inside the three-point line as he struggled against the tough frontcourt of Jonas Valanciunas and Jaren Jackson. He'll look to get back on track during the 76ers' second scrimmage Sunday against the Thunder.

Embiid delivered 30 points (9-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 124-106 win over the Pistons.

Embiid returned to the lineup after a five-game absence with a left shoulder strain and was dominant even in fairly limited minutes. He has scored 30-plus in three of his last five appearances.

Embiid (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's against the Pistons, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

The 25-year-old missed the last five games with the left shoulder sprain, but he's good to return to game action versus Detroit. Embiid figures to rejoin the starting lineup, though it's unclear if he'll face any sort of minutes restriction.

Embiid is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Embiid was available to practice, but he is yet to be completely cleared to play. Mike Scott is likely to see another start if the All-Star is not ready to return. In that case, his next chance to return would be on Saturday against the Pacers.

Embiid (shoulder) has been cleared to practice, Justin Grasso of Sports Illustrated reports.

This is certainly a step in the right direction for Embiid, but the Sixers are yet to decide if he'll be cleared to play in Wednesday's home matchup against Detroit. Either way, though, Embiid figures to be back in the lineup within the next few days after missing the previous five contests with a sprained left shoulder. After Wednesday's game, the Sixers are off until a Saturday date with the Pacers.

Embiid (shoulder) has resumed on-court basketball activities, but he won't play Saturday against the Warriors and is set to be re-evaluated Monday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid will miss his fifth straight contest Saturday as the 76ers' medical staff continues to monitor his sprained left shoulder. His next opportunity to take the court arrives Wednesday against the Pistons.

Embiid (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Kings

The team said last Thursday that Embiid would be re-evaluated in one week, so it's not overly surprising to see him sitting out in Sacramento. The 25-year-old continues to recover from the left shoulder sprain and should have his status updated within the next couple of days.

Embiid (shoulder) will be re-evaluated in one week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Embiid suffered a left shoulder strain in Wednesday's matchup with the Cavs, and while the team has since determined that the big man avoided any structural damage, he'll be forced to sit down for at least one week before getting checked out again. The All-Star center will miss two more contests before his next evaluation.

Embiid (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game against the Knicks and more evaluation on his injury is ongoing, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Embiid suffered a sprained left shoulder during Wednesday's matchup against the Cavaliers, and it isn't too much of a surprise that he's sitting out on the second half of a back-to-back set. Considering the medical staff is still doing evaluations, it's unclear when Embiid may be able to return. For the time being, he should be considered day-to-day. With both him and Ben Simmons (back) sidelined, Al Horford, Josh Richardson and Tobias Harris will be the primary offensive options. Shake Milton and Alec Burks should handle the ball plenty as well.

Embiid will undergo an MRI on his left shoulder Thursday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid was unable to return after suffering a left shoulder sprain during the first quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers, and the severity of the injury could be determined Thursday. The 25-year-old hasn't been officially ruled out, but he seems unlikely to be available for the second half of the back-to-back set versus the Knicks given the quick turnaround.

Embiid was diagnosed with a left shoulder sprain and will not return to Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid suffered the injury with a minute to go in the first quarter and immediately looked to be in pain.After shooting his free throws, the big man retreated to the locker room with a trainer, where he was ruled out following further evaluation. While the severity of the issue is not yet known, it wouldn't be surprising if Embiid was forced to at least miss the second half of Philadelphia's back-to-back set Thursday vs. the Knicks.

Embiid recorded 49 points (17-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 14-15 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across 36 minutes in Monday's 129-112 win over the Hawks.

With Ben Simmons (back) out, Embiid took over the offense and erupted in the win. The 49 points are a new career high for the center and this was his eighth double-double in his last ten games. Simmons is expected to miss an extended period of time and Embiid should garner a massive usage rate until the point guard can return. Next, he and the Sixers will face a soft Cavaliers' defense Wednesday night.

Embiid posted 17 points (5-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 119-98 loss at Milwaukee.

Embiid was Philadelphia's main offensive threat once Ben Simmons left the contest with a back injury, but he couldn't take advantage of that role and delivered a rather pedestrian line by his standards. He has back-to-back double-doubles and six in his last seven games, though. In the event Simmons is forced to miss an extended period of time, that could translate to an uptick in Embiid's numbers across the board.

Embiid exploded for 39 points (10-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 18-19 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks during Philadelphia's 112-104 win over the Nets on Thursday.

Embiid was in stride after logging nearly 30 minutes in the epic duel that was the 2020 All-Star Game. His 39 points marked a season-high. In an interesting subplot, the Sixers were booed off the court by their own fans after a 16-point second quarter. Luckily for the 76ers and fantasy owners alike, Embiid is fueled by boos (an ongoing saga) and proceeded to pour in second half points. He was excellent from the charity stripe and got a vital block on Wilson Chandler to force overtime. Any lingering hand pain is seemingly behind Embiid.

Embiid will no longer wear a splint on his left hand during games, opting for tape instead, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Since coming back from a torn ligament in his left hand Jan. 28, Embiid has sported a splint for some extra support. He's apparently feeling some improvements, so he'll go with a lighter option. Since his return, he's averaging 21.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 blocks.

Embiid totaled 22 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Sunday's 157-155 loss to Team LeBron.

Embiid was one of four players on the Team Giannis squad to record a double-double. There were plenty of rebounds to go around in what was a highly offensive-minded game. The new format was certainly a winner as both teams pushed hard for the victory, rejuvenating what has been trending in the wrong direction over the past few seasons. Embiid has been somewhat underwhelming this season, from both a productivity and a durability standpoint. The fact he played 29 minutes Sunday would indicate he is healthy and those with shares in Embiid will be hoping he can play in the majority of games moving forward.

Embiid scored 26 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-13 FT) while adding nine rebound, two assists and a block in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 110-103 win over the Clippers.

While his double-double streak ended at four games, Embiid still had a productive evening, tying Ben Simmons for the team lead in scoring. Over eight games since returning from a finger injury, the 25-year-old center is averaging 21.0 points, 10.4 boards, 2.9 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.4 blocks.

Embiid was no longer sporting a brace on his left hand in Monday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Since returning from an extended absence due to a finger injury on Jan. 28, Embiid had played with a brace on his left hand. While it didn't appear to hinder his on-court abilities, losing the brace could be a sign that Embiid's hand is back to full strength. If that's the case, there's a good chance that the star center's efficiency could tick up over the coming weeks.

Embiid ended up with 28 points (8-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and three steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 win over the Bulls.

Embiid was cleared to play after having been listed as questionable earlier in the day due to neck tightness. Embiid contributed across every category and put together one of his more well-rounded stat lines of the season. He'll look to build on this effort heading into Tuesday's tilt against the Clippers.

Embiid (neck) will be available for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Derek Bodner of The Athletic reports.

The star center played only 16 minutes in Friday's 119-107 win over the Grizzlies before exiting with tightness, though he still managed to record a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds) to go with three assists, two steals and one block. After appearing as questionable on the 76ers' injury report Saturday, Embiid apparently erased any concern about his health after the 76ers' medical staff evaluated him early Sunday. Expect him to start and take on a normal minutes load versus Chicago.

Embiid is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls due to a stiff neck, Marc Narducci of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid didn't play in the second half of Friday's game against the Grizzlies due to the issue. With Al Horford (Achilles) also questionable, the Sixers may be forced to turn to Kyle O'Quinn, who's played a total of 26 minutes since the calendar flipped to 2020.

Embiid will not return to Friday's game against the Grizzlies due to neck stiffness, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid did not come out to start the second half of the contest and now we know why. The team could just be exercising caution here, but the situation will need to be monitored going froward. Rookie Matisse Thybulle replaced him in the lineup to begin the second half. The 76ers next play the Grizzlies on Sunday.

Embiid amassed 19 points (6-26 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block in 33 minutes during Thursday's 112-101 loss to the Bucks.

Embiid fumbled his way to another double-double Thursday, struggling from both the field and the charity stripe. Over the past two weeks, Embiid has failed to put up top-200 numbers. Over that time he is shooting just 42 percent from the floor and 69 percent from the line. This is obviously a prime buy-low opportunity for those interested in acquiring his services and he will undoubtedly look to bounce back against the Grizzlies on Friday.

Embiid racked up 29 points (9-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 137-106 loss to the Heat.

Embiid turned in an impressive stat line, albeit in a blowout defeat. Having lost three straight by double digits, Embiid and company will look to get back on track during the final tilt of this current four-game road trip in Thursday's matchup versus the Bucks.

Embiid posted 11 points (1-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, two blocked shots and an assist across 23 minutes in Saturday's 116-95 loss to the Celtics.

Embid's nine free throws represented the bulk of Embiid's scoring total, as he connected on just one basket in 11 attempts. His five rebounds represented his worst rebounding total since late November and exited the game after only 23 minutes on the court. It's rare for Embiid to struggle like this, so fantasy owners shouldn't be too concerned about Saturday's stat line.

Embiid notched 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-7 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes during Thursday's 127-117 loss at Atlanta.

Embiid hasn't skipped a beat since missing nine straight games earlier this month, and he has returned to action with back-to-back double-doubles. He has only played four times during January, however, so right now the most important thing for the Cameroonian big man is to get out there and play regularly with no setbacks. If that's the case, then he should remain one of the most productive, versatile big man in the league moving forward.

Embiid delivered 24 points (9-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 115-104 win over the Warriors.

Embiid returned to the lineup following a nine-game absence due to a torn ligament in his left hand which required surgery. Despite logging a fairly modest minute total, Embiid was absolutely dominant as a scorer and rebounder, though he did amass five turnovers. Assuming he suits up for Thursday's matchup versus the Hawks, Embiid can probably be expected to put together another solid line considering the weak defensive opponent.

Embiid (finger) will be available to play Tuesday against Golden State, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid was previously deemed questionable, but after being re-evaluated by the hand surgeon at the arena, he's been cleared to return. The big man hasn't taken the court since Jan. 6 due to a torn ligament which was later repaired by minor surgery, so it remains to be seen if he'll be on any kind of minutes restriction.

Embiid (finger) will be listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt with Golden State, Tom Moore of Bucks County Courier Times reports.

Embiid was able to participate in a full practice Monday and appears to be on the verge of a return. He'll meet with a hand surgeon prior to the game in order to get a final appraisal of the state of his injured finger. Look for the team to provide word on Embiid's official availability following the meeting tomorrow.

Embiid (finger) went through a full practice with contact Friday and is expected to be reevaluated Monday, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

The 25-year-old will unsurprising miss Saturday's game against the Lakers, but the fact he went through contact drills in practice is a good sign for his recovery from surgery on his left finger/hand. If all goes well Embiid could conceivably return to the court for Tuesday's matchup with Golden State.

Embiid (finger) has been cleared for non-contact conditioning drills and will be re-evaluated in another week, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

This is a good sign for Embiid, who has been sidelined since Jan. 9. A firm timetable for his return hasn't been established, but it's possible he plays again before the end of the month.

Embiid (finger) will undergo surgery Friday and is expected to be evaluated again in two weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

While this development knocks Embiid out for at least the next eight games, it sounds as though he'll have a decent chance to be back in the mix before the end of the month, if all goes well. The Sixers will roll with Al Horford at center in Embiid's absence, and they'll start Mike Scott at power forward Thursday versus Boston. Embiid originally sustained the injury during Monday's 120-113 win over the Thunder.

Embiid (finger) has been diagnosed with a torn radial collateral ligament in his left hand, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Embiid was already ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Boston, but this latest news could mean he'll be set for an extended absence. The Sixers are said to be "evaluating their options" as to how to move forward, but given the severity of the injury, Embiid could be slated for surgery that would presumably sideline him for an extended period of time.

Embiid (finger) will not play Thursday against Boston, Kyle Neubeck of Philly Voice reports.

Embiid suffered a rather grotesque dislocated finger earlier in the week, and he'll miss at least one game as he deals with pain and swelling. The hope is that the big man will be cleared to return for Saturday's game against Dallas.

Embiid (knee) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Embiid, who missed Tuesday's game against the Pacers due to knee soreness, has been cleared to rejoin the starting five Friday in Houston after getting through Thursday's practice with no issues. Over his past 10 games, the big man is averaging 27.0 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 blocks in 32.0 minutes per tilt.

Embiid (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Embiid missed Tuesday's game against the Pacers due to left knee soreness, though he's trending in the right direction ahead of Friday's game against the Rockets after returning to practice Thursday. He'll likely be a game-time decision Friday, with the 76ers waiting to see how he feels during warmups before confirming his status.

Embiid (ankle) will play Monday night against the Hawks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid went through pregame warmups and his ankle evidently responded well. He'll start Monday's game at his usual center spot, while Al Horford moves back down to power forward.

Embiid (ankle) will be a true game-time decision for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Embiid appears to be trending in the right direction after going through Monday morning's shootaround, but the Sixers will wait until closer to tipoff to reveal the star's status. He was unable to play Saturday due to a sprained ankle.

Embiid (ankle) participated in shootaround ahead of Monday's game against the Hawks, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid continues to be questionable for Monday's tilt with Atlanta, though he's clearly trending in the right direction. Look for an official update on his status to come ahead of tipoff to clarify his availability. In the event he's held out, look for Al Horford to get a second-straight start at center.

Embiid (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Embiid, who sprained his ankle in Wednesday's win over the Celtics, will be held out Saturday. There's a good chance that coach Brett Brown may opt for a smaller lineup with Al Horford starting at center, though Jonah Bolden and Kyle O'Quinn can both expect to see a minor uptick in minutes regardless of what Brown chooses. The severity of Embiid's injury is unclear and he can be considered day-to-day until more is known.

Embiid did not practice Friday due to a right ankle sprain and is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

It's unclear exactly when Embiid suffered the sprained ankle, especially considering he sat out the final stretch of Wednesday's season opener due to foul trouble. In any event, the 76ers should provide some clarity on Embiid's health based on his participation in shootaround Saturday morning.
