Joel Embiid Health, Injury Updates & History

Embiid will miss Friday's matchup against the Kings, making it a third straight game he is out to due swelling in his left knee. Embiid has only played about half of the games over the last few weeks with a right ankle injury and now a left knee so we expect the team to be cautious when he does return.

Joel Embiid has been removed from the 76ers injury report and will play on Jan 2 against the Bulls after missing four games with an ankle sprain.

Embiid has missed four games with a right ankle sprain during a road trip for the 76ers. He is likely to return in the first week of the New Year when the 76ers are at home until 6 Jan.

Ruled out for Christmas game against the Heat with a right ankle sprain - by video, did not appear serious and likely a load management issue - history of previous ankle sprains means not much new damage done - could return as soon as Wednesday

Playing better as series progresses - scored 33 points and had 7 rebounds in Game 5 - received PRP injection final week of April but PRP needs at least 2 weeks to be effective - suffered original injury on April 20 in Game 3 against the Nets
