Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The former MVP has been sidelined for the last seven games due to a left knee injury, but there's a possibility he will return for Sunday's contest. If Embiid is unable to go, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele are expected to continue taking on expanded roles. Embiid has struggled to find a rhythm this season, and fantasy managers are hoping he can return to full health soon to help get the 76ers' season back on track.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) won't play in Friday's matchup versus the Orlando Magic. Head coach Nick Nurse indicated Embiid will be ready to return once he's healthy enough. However, that won't be on Friday night, which isn't surprising to most. With Andre Drummond (ankle) questionable and Adem Bona (knee) out, Guerschon Yabusele, who is coming off a 15-point, seven-rebound effort on Wednesday, is worth being included in any fantasy lineup. However, Yabusele's outlook will change if Drummond can get on the floor.
Sixers Not Considering Extended Absence For Joel Embiid
According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, the team isn't planning on keeping center Joel Embiid (knee) out beyond what is necessary. The 30-year-old has appeared in only four games this season. However, there hasn't been much update regarding his health, so fantasy managers remain in the dark regarding when they can expect to see him back on the court. With Andre Drummond (ankle) sidelined, Philadelphia will likely continue to rely on Guerschon Yabusele, who has averaged 10.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in six starts during the 2024-25 campaign. Adem Bona should also continue to see more minutes.
According to Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, center Joel Embiid (knee, personal) is not expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. At this point, fantasy managers are left scratching their heads regarding his availability. For now, it appears the 30-year-old is in line to miss his 14th game of the 2024-25 campaign. With uncertainty surrounding the health of Andre Drummond (ankle), Guerschon Yabusele, who had nine points with 12 boards, one steal, and one block in Tuesday's NBA Cup win over the Hornets, could remain in the starting lineup.

Andre Drummond (ankle) may start again if the ankle sprain he suffered isn't too severe, otherwise Adem Bona could play the backup role.

He's still undergoing injury management for his knee but the team added "personal reasons" to his injury report this time around.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will be out until at least next week. After playing in three consecutive games, Embiid was removed from the lineup on Friday against Brooklyn, and according to ESPN's Shams Charania, the former MVP will continue to sit on Sunday when Philadelphia faces the Clippers.

Embiid was a game-time decision coming into this one as he planned to test out his knee pre-game. It doesn't sound like it went well for Embiid as he'll take a seat on Friday. His absence should result in Andre Drummond moving into the starting five. Drummond has been a solid streaming option whenever Embiid is absent. Guerschon Yabusele could all see an increased role after scoring 17 points in his last game.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is currently being considered a game-time decision ahead of Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Embiid is currently dealing with a knee injury and is going to test it out pre-game before making a final decision. He didn't participate in shootaround on Friday after re-aggravating his knee during Wednesday's game. The absence of Embiid would mean more playing time for Andre Drummond. The veteran center has been a viable fantasy option whenever Embiid is sidelined. He'll be worth a look if Embiid is unable to play.
