Joel Embiid Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) will return to action on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. He has received the green light to return from a 13-game absence. The 76ers will also have Paul George back in the lineup, and the two should do plenty of damage against a weak defense. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond must settle for lesser roles with Embiid back in the mix.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Chicago after missing nearly a month while recovering from a core injury. He has resumed on-court work and appears close to returning, though his availability remains uncertain. If Embiid plays, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona would likely lose most of their short-term streaming appeal. Bona finished with three points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and two blocks in 26 minutes in his last start, while Drummond had six points, four rebounds, and two assists in 19 minutes. Embiid remains a must-start if active.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) will not play Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder as he continues to recover from a right oblique strain. His absence keeps Adem Bona in the starting lineup after the second-year center produced 16 points, five rebounds, one steal, and two blocks in 27 minutes in his last outing. Andre Drummond should also continue seeing steady backup minutes after posting eight rebounds and four blocks in 21 minutes. Both bigs are worth considering as short-term streamers, while Quentin Grimes and VJ Edgecombe may have to carry more of the offense.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz and remains without a clear return timeline, putting his fantasy availability in question during the playoffs. Adem Bona should continue starting after posting eight points, 10 rebounds, and two steals in 20 minutes last game, while Andre Drummond added 13 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks in 24 minutes off the bench. Both are worth a look as streaming options for rebounds and defensive stats. Quentin Grimes and VJ Edgecombe should continue handling larger offensive roles with Embiid sidelined.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) has been downgraded to unavailable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Embiid was previously listed as doubtful and will now miss his 11th consecutive contest due to a right oblique strain. His next opportunity to return will be Saturday against the Utah Jazz. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond should continue to see increased frontcourt minutes in his absence. Drummond has been the more reliable fantasy option of late, even in a reserve role.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) has picked up a doubtful tag on the injury report ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Sacramento Kings. While the former MVP is expected to miss an 11th straight contest, this is a positive development. Previously, the team would immediately rule Embiid out on its injury report. The veteran star is working his way back from a right oblique strain. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will continue to see extra playing time until Embiid is ready to return. Drummond has been the better fantasy option lately, despite coming off the bench.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. He will miss a 10th consecutive game due to a right oblique strain. According to 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, Embiid has resumed basketball activities. This suggests that the former MVP shouldn't be too far from returning. However, he still needs a bit more time to recover, giving Andre Drummond and Adem Bona a chance to impress against Nikola Jokic. Drummond had a big 17-rebound performance on Sunday against Portland when he returned from a three-game absence. The veteran outperformed Bona and may have earned himself a starting spot for Tuesday.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) isn't quite ready to return yet. According to Noah Levick, Embiid will be shut down and re-evaluated in one week. The Sixers were hopeful that Embiid could potentially return on Saturday, but that won't be the case. He has missed three straight games and eight of the last 10 games. During that span, the Sixers have only won two games, so they desperately need their superstar center back on the court. In the meantime, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona should continue to split up the playing time at center. Between the two big men, Bona has been the more consistent fantasy option while Embiid has been out.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) will sit out the next three games after imaging confirmed a strain. The former MVP experienced right-side discomfort following Thursday's win and is targeting a potential return on March 7. With Embiid sidelined, Andre Drummond is expected to step into the starting role. In his last start on Feb. 22, Drummond logged 22 minutes and produced six points, nine rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Second-year big man Adem Bona added eight points and five rebounds in 20 minutes that night. Drummond profiles as a short-term rebounding streamer, while Tyrese Maxey should shoulder even heavier offensive usage.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee, shin) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. As expected, Embiid is ready to go after being listed as probable on the injury report. Before Tuesday's contest, Embiid missed five straight games due to knee and shin issues. On Tuesday, Embiid finished with 27 points, five assists, and six rebounds in 26 minutes of action. The expectation is that Embiid will have a similar workload until he's fully healthy again. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can feel safe getting Embiid into their lineups on Thursday.
