Making return Friday Embiid (orbital) will return during Friday's Game 3 against the Heat, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact After initially being listed as out, Embiid has worked himself to available. He cleared concussion protocols and was fitted for a mask to protect his orbital fracture, not to mention the torn thumb ligament he's dealing with. Coach Doc Rivers said the star center could be on limited minutes, but "could be" implies Embiid may end up playing as much as needed given that the 76ers have their backs against the wall down 2-0 in the series.

Warming up with intention to play Embiid (orbital) is warming up with the intention of playing in Friday's Game 3 against the Heat, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
Impact Embiid's return is gaining real momentum. It seems likely at this point that his status is a true game-time decision despite the center being officially listed as doubtful. In a different situation, Embiid could be on a minutes limit, but with the 76ers down 2-0, he may play every minute needed from him.

Impact Embiid has been fitted for a mask and needs to feel comfortable before ultimately being cleared to play. He was initially listed as out, but there always seemed to be the possibility he could return for Game 3 despite the designation -- something we saw happen with Devin Booker in the Suns' Round 1 series. At this point, it seems the center is more questionable, and things are certainly trending in the right direction. Philadelphia's back is against the wall down 2-0, so it's potentially now or never for Embiid.

Clears concussion protocols Embiid (orbital) has cleared concussion protocols and participated in the team's morning shootaround ahead of Friday's Game 3 against the Hawks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The MVP candidate continues to be listed as out for Game 3, but it sounds like he may try to play through the orbital fracture by wearing a mask similar to the one he garnered after colliding with former teammate Markelle Fultz in 2018, per Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.com. Shelburne went on to add that Embiid, however, would likely not have to wear goggles during a potential return, as he did in 2018. Regardless, this is an encouraging turn for the 76ers, who face an 0-2 deficit in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Out for Game 3 Embiid (orbital) is out for Friday's Game 3 against the Heat, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact There was cautious optimism that Embiid may have been able to return as soon as Game 3, but that ultimately won't be the case. Game 4 is on Sunday, though if the 76ers go down 3-0, it remains to be seen if it would be considered an unnecessary risk to bring the center back.
