Joel Embiid News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Another double-double Friday Embiid closed with 32 points (10-23 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 32 minutes during Friday's 125-113 win over the Magic.

Impact Embiid recorded his 30th double-double of the season Friday, and he reached that mark for the third straight game. There was a scare in the second quarter when Embiid went to the locker room after awkwardly landing on his recently repaired left knee, but he was able to return for the second half. The 76ers have now won seven straight games, and a win in the regular-season finale Sunday against the Nets could catapult Philadelphia into the top six in the Eastern Conference, avoiding the NBA Play-In Tournament.

Fills stat sheet vs. Detroit Embiid notched 37 points (12-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and three steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 120-102 win over the Pistons.

Impact Embiid returned from a one-game absence in style, and the reigning MVP was two assists shy of registering his third triple-double of the season Tuesday. The 76ers were without Tyrese Maxey (hip) but the team didn't miss a beat on offense with Embiid controlling the flow of the game. Philadelphia is one game back of Indiana for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, and the coaching staff will have to balance a desire to avoid the NBA Play-In Tournament with Embiid's health heading into the postseason. In the four games since his return, Embiid is averaging 30.0 points on 51.4 percent shooting, 8.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.8 steals over 30.1 minutes per game.

Unavailable Sunday Embiid will not play in Sunday's game versus the Spurs due to injury management of his left knee, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact With Sunday representing the second half of a back-to-back for Philadelphia, Embiid sitting is not overly surprising. The reigning MVP dropped 30 points and 12 rebounds in Saturday's victory over Memphis, signaling that he is plenty capable of booming production moving forward, even if he isn't thunderously attacking the basket to his prior extent. Philadelphia is one game behind Indiana for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, with Embiid's next opportunity to take the court coming Tuesday versus Detroit.
