76ers' Joel Embiid: Re-evaluated in one week
The 76ers announced Monday that 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
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 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: Ruled out, won't return Friday
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 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: Suffers sinus fracture, timeline TBD
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 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: Heads to locker room Friday
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
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 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
Embiid (knee) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Chicago.
Embiid has played in just four of the 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. Embiid has struggled in the games he has played, averaging 19.8 points on 37.9 percent shooting, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 blocks over 31.3 minutes per contest.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Hefty restrictions if cleared
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
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 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
Embiid (knee), who has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic, was present at the 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.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Not ready to play Friday
Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic.
Embiid appears to be moving closer to a return, but he'll sit out a seventh straight contest Friday while he gets more time to recover from a left knee injury. With Adem Bona (knee) also ruled out and Andre Drummond (ankle) listed questionable, the 76ers will be thin at center if Drummond can't play. Guerschon Yabusele will presumably pick up another start Friday in place of Embiid, whose next opportunity to play will come Sunday in Chicago.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Out again Wednesday
Embiid (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Magic, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Embiid will miss his fifth game in a row Wednesday, but he seems to be getting closer to a return. He's been cleared to begin his ramp-up process on the court, but it remains to be seen if he'll be given the green light for Friday's rematch against Orlando.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Not expected to play Wednesday
Coach Nick Nurse said Tuesday that he doesn't expect Embiid (knee) to play in Wednesday's game against the Magic, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Embiid is expected to miss his fifth consecutive game due to left knee injury management. However, the superstar already missed the first game of the back-to-back set in Tuesday's NBA Cup win over the Hornets, so it's not out of the realm of possibility for Embiid to suit up for the second leg. If the big man remains sidelined alongside Andre Drummond (ankle), Guerschon Yabusele, KJ Martin and Adem Bona will likely receive upticks in playing time.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Will be sidelined again Tuesday
Embiid (knee, personal reasons) will not play Tuesday against the Hornets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Embiid isn't healthy enough to play right now, but he's also away from the team for personal reasons. His status for Wednesday against Orlando is questionable at best. With Andre Drummond (ankle) out for the next three games, players such as Guerschon Yabusele, KJ Martin and Adem Bona could see extended minutes in the frontcourt.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Won't play against Detroit
Embiid (knee) is out for Saturday's game versus the Pistons, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Embiid's absence streak will extend to four games Saturday due to left knee injury management and personal reasons. Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele should continue to receive increased roles in the star big man's absence. Embiid's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Charlotte.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Out again Wednesday
Embiid (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Rockets, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Embiid did not participate in Tuesday's practice and will miss his third game in a row Wednesday. Philadelphia's franchise center has appeared in just four games this season, and the 76ers continue to tread carefully with him while he manages a left knee injury. Embiid's next chance to play will be Saturday against Detroit, and in the meantime, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele will likely hold down the fort at center.
