76ers' Joel Embiid: Makes little impact Monday
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: Will start after all
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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Warming up Monday
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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Downgraded to doubtful
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 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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Iffy for Monday vs. Heat
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, a positive sign of his progression through that issue. If the 2023 NBA MVP is ruled out, Guerschon Yabusele and Andre Drummond are candidates for an increased role.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Scores 20 points vs. Magic
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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Should see increased minutes
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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Good to go against Orlando
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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Out for second leg of back-to-back
Embiid won't play Wednesday against the Cavaliers due to left knee injury management, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
As expected, Embiid will be held out of the second leg of a back-to-back set after he made his season debut in Tuesday's 111-99 loss to the Knicks following a six-game absence due to the left knee injury followed by a three-game suspension. President of basketball operations Daryl Morey had suggested prior to the start of the season that Embiid will play only one game of back-to-back sets for the foreseeable future. The 76ers are also holding out Paul George (knee) for rest Wednesday, so players such as Kelly Oubre, Jared McCain and Andre Drummond could dominate the usage for Philadelphia. Embiid should be back in action Friday in Orlando and will likely have his playing-time restriction loosened a bit after he logged 26 minutes Tuesday.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Looks rusty in season debut
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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Operating on minutes restriction
Coach Nick Nurse said Embiid will be limited to 25-to-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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Not listed on injury report
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 minutes 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.
