Posts monster double-double Embiid notched 41 points (15-23 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 21 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 127-121 loss against the Pacers.
Impact T.J. Warren grabbed most of the attention with his 53-point performance, but Embiid did what he could to keep the Sixers in the game -- he recorded his second-best scoring output of the season while also tying his season-best mark for rebounds. The big man was dealing with a calf injury prior to this game, but the fact that he logged 34 minutes should mean he is ready to handle his regular workload moving forward.

Expected to play in opener Embiid (calf) is expected to play in Saturday's seeding game opener against the Pacers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Embiid missed the 76ers' final two scrimmages while dealing with right calf soreness, but the injury was ultimately minor and he'll be able to play Saturday. Look for Embiid to start alongside Ben Simmons while Al Horford comes off the bench. After the New Year, Embiid is averaging 22.9 points on 15.4 shots, 10.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.7 minutes per game.

Won't scrimmage Tuesday Embiid (calf) will not scrimmage Tuesday against the Mavericks, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Impact Embiid missed Sunday's scrimmage as well due to the issue, and the team will continue to hold him out after he participated in a light practice Monday. It seems likely he'll be good to go for Saturday's opener against the Pacers, but until we get any concrete information, he should tentatively be considered questionable.

Slated to practice Embiid (calf) is scheduled to participate in a light practice Monday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact A tight right calf prevented Embiid from playing in Sunday's scrimmage with the Thunder, but the injury only looks to be a day-to-day concern for the star center at this juncture. The 76ers will wait and see how Embiid's calf responds to Monday's workout before determining whether he's fit to play in the exhibition finale Tuesday against the Mavericks. Al Horford replaced Embiid in the starting five Sunday but is expected to fill a bench role if the 76ers are at full strength when the season restarts Saturday against the Pacers.

Four rejections in 15 minutes Pelle collected six points (3-8 FG), six rebounds and four blocks in 15 minutes during Sunday's 102-97 scrimmage loss to the Thunder.
Impact Pelle stepped up with Joel Embiid (calf) sidelined and turned in a solid showing in limited action. When Embiid is healthy, there are barely enough minutes to go around at center now that Al Horford is coming off the bench, but on nights when either of the aforementioned big men sit out, Pelle becomes a decent option for daily leagues.

Nears triple-double in 26 minutes Simmons supplied 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 102-97 scrimmage loss to the Thunder.
Impact Simmons finished just one dime shy of a triple-double and paced the team in scoring, as he became the top offensive option with Joel Embiid (calf) sitting this one out. Nevertheless, Simmons is clearly capable of producing at this level even when the team is at full strength, and he remains of the most versatile contributors in the league.
