Added to injury report Embiid is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic due to left knee injury management, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Impact Embiid has looked like his old self over his club's last five games, but he finds himself on the injury report yet again leading up to Friday's clash, likely as a precaution. The team will presumably monitor the big man closely during shootaround and pregame warmups before determining his availability in Orlando.

Impact Embiid's 25 minutes played were tied for his fewest since returning from a nine-game absence Nov. 30. Still, he had another highly productive offensive game. He knocked down 71.4 percent of his field goal attempts and scored at least 25 points for the sixth time in seven games. During that seven-game stretch., Embiid is averaging 28.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks across 33.7 minutes.

Impact Embiid will suit up for his fifth consecutive game Wednesday evening, and he'll look to build off the 32-point, 10-rebound double-double he had his last time out. Embiid has logged 35-plus minutes in three of his past four outings and he's scored north of 30 points in two of those contests.

Iffy for Wednesday Embiid (knee, ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Washington.

Impact The 76ers are considering giving Embiid a maintenance day for left knee injury management, though the star big man is also dealing with right ankle soreness. If he needs to sit out Wednesday, Andre Drummond would make sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option while Adem Bona handles backup center duties.

Double-doubles in loss Embiid accumulated 32 points (13-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block in 40 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Embiid continues to look more fluid on the court and his workloads are trending up. As long as his knees keep responding well, he could be in line for a strong second half of the regular season. Over his last four games, he's averaging 28.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.0 blocks.

Double-double in win Embiid closed with 26 points (9-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 130-119 win over the Knicks.

Impact Embiid notched his third double-double of the season with an efficient showing from the field while repeatedly getting to the free-throw line. The 76ers have carefully managed the oft-injured center, and while he's been productive when available, his 6.8 rebounds per game through 16 appearances sits well below his career norm and would be the lowest mark of his career, with his previous low being 7.8 boards in 31 contests as a rookie in 2016-17. Embiid has appeared in all three games over the past five days, so it remains to be seen whether Philadelphia opts to rest him in Monday's matchup against Denver.
