Embiid (illness) is officially listed as out on Philadelphia's injury report, but the superstar big man posted on X saying he was going to play Wednesday against the Wizards.
Embiid wasn't listed on the initial injury report, which dropped Tuesday, but he popped up Wednesday morning as out due to an illness. He played through an ailment Monday in Miami, posting 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes, so the downgrade was surprising. The 76ers have yet to officially upgrade Embiid, and fantasy managers should assume he won't play until that happens. Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com suggests that Embiid's post was a joke for April Fools' Day.
