Joel Embiid News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Questionable for Friday Joel Embiid is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls due to right knee injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Embiid is coming off a strong performance against the Nets on Dec. 23 but may sit out to give his knee a rest. If he's sidelined, more minutes would be in store for Andre Drummond and Adem Bona.

76ers realize critical truth about themselves in frustrating loss to Nets The 76ers' 114-106 loss to the Nets on Tuesday proved that Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Paul George still need time to develop chemistry.

Team-high 27 points in return Embiid chipped in 27 points (8-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 loss to the Nets.

Impact Embiid was cleared to return Tuesday from a two-game absence while working through an illness and knee injury. He came out firing with 19 points in the first half, and while he briefly left for the locker room after appearing to aggravate a knee injury in the third quarter, he was cleared to return in the same frame. Embiid has played in five of the 76ers' nine games since Dec. 2, and over that span he has averaged 23.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 blocks over 29.6 minutes per game. The 76ers' next game takes place Friday against the Bulls, which gives Embiid more time to rest and recover ahead of that contest.

Impact Embiid sustained an apparent right knee injury earlier in the quarter and briefly exited to the locker room. However, he returned to the bench shortly thereafter with wrapping on both knees, and it's a positive sign he was able to check back in after a short stint on the sidelines. He appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest.
