Joel Embiid - Likely to play Game 4 Embiid (hip) is listed as probable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks.

Impact Embiid was unable to play in Game 2 due to an ankle injury. He returned for Game 3 on Friday and played 35 minutes in a 108-94 loss, and while he's now dealing with a hip issue, the injury doesn't appear to be severe enough for him to miss Sunday's do-or-die contest. Embiid has averaged 24.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.0 blocks over 34.3 minutes per game across six postseason contests.

Impact Citron was exceptional before and after halftime, with 19 of her team-high 26 points being tallied between the second and third quarters of Friday's regular-season opener. She also contributed defensively with four combined blocks and steals, a mark that she reached three times last year.

Impact Austin scored 10 of her 18 points in the first half and finished as the Mystics' second-leading scorer behind Sonia Citron (26 points). Austin also finished with the second-most rebounds on the team behind Kiki Iriafen (16), and for the former, it was her sixth double-double since the start of the 2025 regular season.

Tyrese Maxey - Passive performance Friday Maxey provided 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 44 minutes during Friday's 108-94 loss to the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference S...

Impact Maxey attempted just 12 shots, finishing with 17 points. Although his numbers were fine, it does feel as though Maxey is beginning to show signs of fatigue after carrying the offense for much of the playoffs. In three games against the Knicks, he has averaged 18.6 points, 5.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 three-pointers. Now trailing 3-0, Philadelphia is going to need a lot more from Maxey, should it hope to extend the series to a fifth game.

Impact After missing Game 2 due to injury, Embiid returned to action Friday. While his numbers have been fine since returning in Game 4 against the Celtics, it is clear that Embiid is functioning at well below 100 percent. In six postseason appearances, he has recorded just six blocks, while grabbing double-digit boards on three separate occasions only. Philadelphia now trails 3-0, with Game 4 scheduled for Sunday.

Impact Oubre had 19 points in Game 2. However, the 30-year-old played even better in Game 3, scoring a team-high 22 points, his highest of the postseason so far. With the 76ers one loss away from elimination, it's unknown if head coach Nick Nurse will make adjustments heading into Game 4 on Sunday. If not, Oubre should continue to log heavy minutes, keeping him relevant for fantasy managers.
