76ers' Joel Embiid: Re-evaluated in one week
The Philadelphia 76ers announced Monday that Joel 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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Officially out Monday
Joel 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 Philadelphia 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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Suffers sinus fracture, timeline TBD
Joel Embiid suffered a sinus fracture during Friday's 121-107 loss to the Pacers and is scheduled to be further evaluated over the weekend, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.Embiid sustained the injury late in the first half, when he was battling for a rebound and inadvertently struck in the face by the Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin. The star center was ruled out for the second half of the contest, finishing the night with 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five assists and four rebounds across 17 minutes in what was just his sixth game of the season. The Philadelphia 76ers are off until Monday against the Hornets and should have a better idea on Embiid's status for that contest upon evaluating him further. Even if Embiid isn't forced to miss any time due to the injury, he could have to play with a protective mask until the fracture fully heals.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Ruled out, won't return Friday
Joel Embiid (face) won't return to Friday's game against the Pacers and will undergo further testing, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports. He finished the game with 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3.4 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 17 minutes before exiting the contest.Embiid was hit in the face in the closing moments of the second quarter and went straight to the locker room, and now he's been confirmed as out for the rest of the contest. This is a huge blow not only for the Philadelphia 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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Heads to locker room Friday
Joel 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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Tallies big double-double in return
Joel Embiid (knee) 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.Making his return from a seven-game absence due to left knee injury management, Embiid surprisingly wasn't operating under any restrictions. Though he came up empty from downtown, he led the Philadelphia 76ers in usage by a wide margin (46.9 percent to Tyrese Maxey's 25.6 percent) and feasted on a vulnerable Chicago frontcourt. Though more absences are likely in Embiid's future while he contends with the knee issue, fantasy managers should feel comfortable inserting him back in lineups now that he's back in action.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Cleared to play Sunday vs. Bulls
Joel Embiid (knee) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Chicago.Embiid has played in just four of the Philadelphia 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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Hefty restrictions if cleared
Joel 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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Questionable to play Sunday
Joel 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 Philadelphia 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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Out Friday, misses shootaround
Joel Embiid (knee), who has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic, was present at the Philadelphia 76ers' morning 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 chances of returning to action for 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 thin in the frontcourt with Embiid 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 as their starting center. Pete Nance would likely serve as Yabusele's backup if Drummond isn't available.
