Joel Embiid's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The big man has been cleared to play following a two-game absence due to left knee soreness. There is no word on Embiid being limited at all during this game. That being said, fantasy managers should assume Embiid is returning to his normal role in the rotation. Paul Reed will head back to the bench, but should still have a decent role with the Sixers frontcourt being banged up.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will miss Monday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Embiid was a late scratch for Saturday's showdown against the Denver Nuggets due to soreness in his left knee and will sit out Monday's first part of Philly's back-to-back. The NBA's scoring leader (36.0 points per game) sets his sights toward returning for Tuesday's outing against the Golden State Warriors. After going off for a 30-point, 13-rebound double-double on Saturday, Paul Reed remains a streaming option for multiple fantasy categories. Reed is averaging 12.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.2 steals in 11 games without Embiid this season.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been deemed questionable for their Monday night matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. The reigning MVP wasn't even on the injury report ahead of their matchup with the Denver Nuggets but was quickly ruled out with knee soreness right before tip-off. He remains questionable since then, so fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for more updates after shootaround. If he's unable to suit up again, Paul Reed will move into the starting five again while Marcus Morris Sr. and Mo Bamba will split up the remaining minutes off of the bench.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The reigning MVP logged 31 minutes in Friday's win over the Orlando Magic, scoring 36 points and draining all 11 attempts from the charity stripe. But he's dealing with left knee soreness, so there's a good chance he won't suit up versus the nine-win Hornets. Of course, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Tobias Harris should absorb most of the scoring opportunities without Embiid in the lineup. However, Paul Reed, averaging 10.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, and 1.2 steals this season in games without Embiid, is worth streaming in deeper fantasy setups.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is not seen on the team's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. After returning to play for 31 minutes on Monday after a three-game absence due to swelling in his left knee, Embiid is ready to go for this interconference showdown against Denver. With Nikola Jokic (hip) and the rest of the Nuggets' stars all expected to be out there as well, Tuesday's marquee matchup between two championship contenders certainly carries plenty of anticipation. The 29-year-old reigning MVP is leading the NBA with 34.9 points per game and has registered a whopping 17 consecutive showings with at least 30 points, shooting 55.6% from the floor with 1.2 triples and 3.4 combined steals and blocks per game since Nov. 17. Embiid is safe to deploy in all season-long fantasy leagues.
