Drops 40 points in loss Embiid chipped in 40 points (15-28 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Monday's 108-104 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Embiid was considered questionable to play for Monday's game due to some tightness in his left hamstring, so it's pretty remarkable how well he did. There are not many players as hot as Embiid is in December. Through his last seven games, he's averaging 40.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.0 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.3 three-pointers. He's been the best player in nine-category formats during that span.

Will play Embiid (hamstring) is available and will start Monday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Embiid's left hamstring was tight following the team's morning shootaround, so he was downgraded to questionable. However, it appears the issue isn't significant enough to keep him out of a juicy matchup against the Bulls. The reigning MVP has averaged 40.0 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals in 32.3 minutes over his last six appearances.

Questionable for Monday Embiid is questionable for Monday's game against Chicago due to left hamstring tightness.

Impact Embiid wasn't on the 76ers' initial injury report, but his status is now up in the air ahead of Monday's matchup. If he's sidelined against the Bulls, Paul Reed, Mo Bamba and Robert Covington would be candidates to see increased run.

Embiid leads Philadelphia against Chicago after 42-point game

Philadelphia hosts the Chicago Bulls after Joel Embiid scored 42 points in the Philadelphia 76ers' 135-82 win over the Charlotte Hornets

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Makes short work of Hornets Embiid produced 42 points (18-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 135-82 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Embbid dominated from the opening tip, taking full advantage of an opposition who simply had no one to throw at him. Currently the number two ranked player in nine-category leagues, Embbid is putting together another MVP-caliber season. As long as he can remain relatively healthy, managers have nothing to worry about in terms of Embiid returning or exceeding value moving forward.

Joel Embiid scores 42 points as 76ers hand Hornets worst loss in franchise history, 135-82

Joel Embiid had 42 points and 15 rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers handed the injury-depleted Charlotte Hornets their worst loss in franchise history, 135-82 on Saturday night

Leads way in rout of Pistons Embiid ended Friday's 124-92 win over the Pistons with 35 points (9-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 15-16 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals across 29 minutes.

Impact Embiid logged under 30 minutes for just the second time this season, getting more than his usual amount of rest due to the lopsided nature of the score. He didn't need a full allotment of playing time to continue his dominance, though, as he led the 76ers in scoring and notched his ninth straight double-double. All of those double-doubles have included at least 30 points and 10 boards, and per the Associated Press, Embiid broke Wilt Chamberlain's franchise record for consecutive contests reaching those marks. Embiid's numbers have been even better this year than last, so it's no surprise that he's in the running for a second straight NBA MVP award.

Pours in 41 in Wednesday's win Embiid closed Wednesday's 129-111 win over the Pistons with 41 points (14-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 12-12 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 31 minutes.

Impact The All-Star center piled up 30 of those points in the first half, as the Sixers grabbed an early lead they wouldn't relinquish. Embiid has reeled off eight straight games with at least a double-double, tossing one triple-double into the mix as well, and over that stretch he's averaging a dominant 36.5 points, 12.0 boards, 6.9 assists, 2.1 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.1 threes while shooting 54.9 percent from the floor. The departure of James Harden has allowed Embiid to take on more of a distribution role in the Philly offense, and his 6.4 assists a night on the season are more than two dimes better than his previous career high.

Dominant in win Embiid notched 34 points (14-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 146-101 win over the Wizards.

Impact There are not many players as hot as Embiid these days. He's scored at least 30 points in his last eight appearances, and the 76ers are 6-2 in those games. During that span, Embiid has been the second best player in nine-category leagues behind only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with averages of 35.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.3 steals, 2.1 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers.

Good to go Embiid (knee) will start Monday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Embiid was trending in the right direction despite being listed as questionable. The reigning MVP has scored at least 30 points in seven straight appearances, averaging 35.6 points, 11.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.1 steals during that stretch.

Participates in shootaround Embiid (knee), who is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards, participated in Philadelphia's morning shootaround, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Embiid tweaked his knee during Friday's win over Atlanta, and his status for Monday's game is up in the air. However, his participation in shootaround is encouraging, especially after he was a full participant in Sunday's practice session. The 29-year-old will presumably be monitored in the hours leading up to tipoff, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.
