Officially questionable Embiid (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Golden State.

Impact Embiid played in only half of Wednesday's blowout win over the Bulls after experiencing mild right calf tightness and was previously expected to play Friday before being tabbed questionable. With Friday's contest the opening leg of a back-to-back set, the 76ers could opt to give Embiid the night off. However, Philadelphia is just three games back of No. 1 seed in the East and has the Warriors, Suns, Nuggets and Mavericks upcoming, so they could be incentivized to play the reigning MVP runner-up. If he misses Friday's tilt, Paul Reed would likely step into the starting lineup.

Expected to play Friday Embiid is likely to play in Friday's game against Golden State due to mild right calf tightness, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact Embiid didn't play in the second half of Wednesday's blowout of the Bulls due to the "score differential" as the 76ers led 76-48 at the break. However, the team revealed after the contest that Embiid was dealing with right calf pain. Regardless, it would be a surprise if Embiid wasn't on the hardwood for tipoff Friday.

Sitting remainder of game Embiid won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Bulls due to the "score differential," Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact Embiid exited Wednesday's game at halftime with the Sixers leading 76-48. The superstar center had tallied 12 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block in 16 minutes. Embiid should be good to go for Friday's game versus the Warriors, as the 76ers are likely just ensuring their MVP-caliber center doesn't pick up a garbage-time injury in the blowout.
