Cleared to face Toronto
Embiid (knee/adductor) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
Embiid missed the front end of this back-to-back set against Toronto and was previously listed as questionable for Monday's matchup due to left knee injury management and adductor soreness. However, the star big man will shed that tag and suit up Monday. Over five appearances so far this month, Embiid has averaged 26.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 blocks in 32.8 minutes per contest.

Iffy for Monday
Embiid (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
After getting the night off for maintenance Sunday against the Raptors, Embiid remains day-to-day with some left knee soreness. The 76ers tend to be cautious with Embiid, and they may see how he responds to warmups before a decision is made.

Out Sunday
Embiid (knee/groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
Embiid will be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set due to left knee injury management and left groin sorenesss. His next opportunity to play will come in Monday's rematch against Toronto. With the star big man unavailable, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona are candidates for increased playing time.

Questionable to play Sunday
Embiid is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors due to left knee injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Analysis
The 76ers and Raptors play in back-to-back games in Toronto on Sunday and Monday. Embiid will likely sit out of one of those games while managing a left knee injury, in which case Andre Drummond would be the top candidate to enter the 76ers' starting five. Embiid has played in each of the 76ers' last six games, and over that span he has averaged 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.2 blocks over 33.7 minutes per game.

Just misses double-double Friday
Embiid chipped in 22 points (7-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 103-91 victory over the Magic.
Analysis
The oft-injured center came up just short of his fifth double-double in 18 games this season. Embiid has suited up for six straight contests -- his longest stretch of uninterrupted play so far in 2025-26 -- and scored at least 22 points in each, averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 boards, 4.3 assists and 1.2 blocks over 33.7 minutes while shooting 51.8 percent from the floor.

Available to play
Embiid (knee) is available for Friday's game in Orlando.
Analysis
Embiid is good to go for his sixth consecutive game, and he'll look to build off Wednesday's 28-point performance in a blowout win over Washington. Make sure Embiid is active.
January 9, 2026
Upgraded to probable
Embiid (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against Orlando.
Analysis
Embiid was initially labeled as questionable. He's been in really good form lately, posting averages of 28.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over his last three games. Although he's expected to play Friday, it's worth noting the 76ers have a back-to-back set coming up Sunday and Monday.

Added to injury report
Embiid is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic due to left knee injury management, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.
Analysis
Embiid has looked like his old self over his club's last five games, but he finds himself on the injury report yet again leading up to Friday's clash, likely as a precaution. The team will presumably monitor the big man closely during shootaround and pregame warmups before determining his availability in Orlando.

Another stellar game
Embiid generated 28 points (10-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 25 minutes of Wednesday's 131-110 win over the Wizards.
Analysis
Embiid's 25 minutes played were tied for his fewest since returning from a nine-game absence Nov. 30. Still, he had another highly productive offensive game. He knocked down 71.4 percent of his field-goal attempts and scored at least 25 points for the sixth time in seven games. During that seven-game stretch, Embiid is averaging 28.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks across 33.7 minutes.
January 7, 2026
Will play Wednesday
Embiid (knee) will play Wednesday versus the Wizards.
Analysis
Embiid will suit up for his fifth consecutive game Wednesday evening, and he'll look to build off the 32-point, 10-rebound double-double he had his last time out. Embiid has logged 35-plus minutes in three of his past four outings, and he's scored north of 30 points in two of those contests.
