Questionable Monday Embiid is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to right calf tightness.

Impact Embiid has been on a tear recently, averaging 34.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 33.4 minutes per game over his last 13 appearances. However, he's apparently dealing with a calf issue after posting a double-double Saturday against the Suns, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Monday. If he's sidelined, Paul Reed and Dewayne Dedmon would likely see increased run in the frontcourt.

Double-doubles despite loss Embiid racked up 28 points (8-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 loss to the Suns.

Impact Embiid didn't have his best shooting performance Saturday, but he can still deliver excellent stat lines even if he's not playing at his best. This was Embiid's fifth double-double since the beginning of March, and he's averaging a robust stat line of 34.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.2 blocks per game during that stretch.

Available to play Saturday Embiid (calf) is available and will start Saturday against the Suns.

Impact Embiid's presence represents a huge boost for the 76ers, as the star big man is their leader on both ends of the court. Embiid has been dominant in recent weeks and is averaging 35.0 points with 9.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.2 blocks per game across 12 March outings.

Listed questionable Saturday Embiid sports a questionable designation for Saturday's game versus the Suns due to right calf tightness.

Impact It's unclear if Embiid is truly dealing with an injury concern or if he's potentially just in line for a rest day in the second game of a back-to-back set. The Sixers should update his status prior to the 10 p.m. ET opening tipoff, with P.J. Tucker likely sliding to the five if he can't go and Jalen McDaniels (hip) potentially slotting into the starting unit if available.

Stellar performance not enough Embiid (calf) produced 46 points (13-23 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 19-22 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 120-112 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Embiid dominated the Warriors' frontcourt all game, but it wasn't enough, as the Warriors' three-point shooting outpaced the 76ers' offense. The MVP candidate left Philadelphia's previous contest at halftime due to a calf injury, but he showed no signs of any limitations en route to his highest-scoring outing since Jan. 28. Across 12 March appearances, Embiid is averaging 35.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.0 steals with 61/36/84 shooting splits.
