Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Fantasy Impact

It should come as no surprise that Embiid won't play both games in the back-to-back. Guerschon Yabusele will likely slide back into the starting lineup in his absence.

Joel Embiid was one of the few bright spots for the 76ers in Tuesday’s loss to Toronto, finishing with 27 points (10-of-18 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and one three-pointer in 38 minutes. While Philadelphia’s other starters combined for just 40 points, Embiid carried the offense once again, continuing his dominant stretch since returning to the lineup.

Fantasy Impact

Embiid remains a fantasy powerhouse, delivering another strong all-around performance despite Philadelphia’s struggles. His ability to consistently produce elite scoring and rebounding numbers, along with defensive contributions, makes him an automatic start in all formats. With the Sixers on a back-to-back, he’s unlikely to play Wednesday, but fantasy managers will be hoping he stays healthy coming out of the All-Star break.

Fantasy Impact

Embiid has been upgraded to active on Tuesday night. The team was initially considering letting him sit out as part of the injury maintenance for his knee, but they have ultimately opted to let him play. He should be an elite fantasy option against the Raptors, even if he's not quite at 100% health.

Fantasy Impact

The 76ers may let Embiid sit out on Tuesday night as part of the injury management for his knee. He is officially questionable to play right now, and the team will make a decision about his availability closer to game time. Andre Drummond will see more work if the star center is sidelined.

Joel Embiid flirted with a triple-double for the 76ers Sunday, grabbing 12 rebounds, dishing out six assists, and scoring 27 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3PT, 9-10 FT) while also recording one steal and blocking one shot in a 135-127 loss to the Bucks.

Fantasy Impact

Embiid continues a dynamic stretch on both ends of the floor, grabbing seven or more rebounds and scoring 23 or more points in each of his last five games, dishing out six or more assists in four of those contests. The center continues to offer elite-level production when healthy enough to suit up for an underperforming Philadelphia starting five, averaging 24.8 points, 4.5 assists, and 8.3 rebounds per game while posting a usage rate of 35.8% so far this season.
