  9H ago • By RotoWire

  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 his 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.

  10H ago • By RotoWire

  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.

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  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 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.
