76ers' Joel Embiid: Will miss at least one more game
Joel 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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Makes little impact Monday
Joel 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 preferred starting lineup intact for the first time this season.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Warming up Monday
Joel 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.
