Embiid (shin/knee) scored 27 points (11-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block across 26 minutes Tuesday in the 76ers' 135-114 win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Embiid filled out the stat sheet nicely while taking the court for the first time since Feb. 7, after he had missed the 76ers' previous five contests due to right shin soreness and right knee injury management. Though Embiid had played 30-plus minutes in each of his prior five appearances, the 76ers were able to ease him back into the fold with a lighter workload while they cruised to an easy win. Assuming he came out of Tuesday's contest no worse for the wear, Embiid should get back over the 30-minute mark in the 76ers' next game Thursday versus the Heat.

Embiid (knee/shin) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
After five straight games on the shelf, Embiid will shed his questionable tag for this contest. However, it's possible he has some restrictions in his first game back. With the star big man back in the mix, Andre Drummond is expected to shift to the second unit.

Embiid (knee/shin) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Indiana.
EDGE Analysis
Embiid has missed five straight games while handling right knee injury management and right shin soreness, so a questionable tag represents a positive step compared to being immediately ruled out for a sixth consecutive contest. If he's unable to suit up Tuesday, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona would be in line to handle the bulk of the minutes at center for Philadelphia.

Embiid (knee/shin) will remain on the inactive list for Sunday's game in Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Embiid's fifth consecutive game on the sidelines, and given there haven't been any reports of the big man practicing, he should be considered highly questionable for Tuesday's game in Indiana. Adem Bona, Andre Drummond and Dominick Barlow will help pick up the slack with Embiid unavailable.

EDGE Analysis
Embiid is set to miss his fourth consecutive game, and for now, he should be considered highly questionable for Sunday's game in Minnesota. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will continue to split the five-man minutes in Embiid's absence.

Embiid has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to right knee and shin injuries, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Embiid was held out of the 76ers' final two games before the All-Star break due to right knee injury management. However, a shin issue cropped up during his rehab, so Embiid will be held out of Thursday's contest with the hopes that he'll be available to return against the Pelicans on Saturday. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will continue to operate in elevated roles in Embiid's absence.

EDGE Analysis
Embiid will miss a second straight game heading into the All-Star break due to right knee injury management. In his stead, look for Andre Drummond and Adem Bona to handle most of the center minutes. Embiid's next chance to play will come Feb. 19 against Atlanta.

Embiid (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against New York.
EDGE Analysis
Embiid was shut down Monday due to right knee injury management, so it appears the Sixers are simply trying to ensure he makes it to the All-Star break healthy. Philly should have another update to share on the big man's availability for the final game before the break closer to Wednesday's tipoff.

Embiid (knee) won't play Monday against the Trail Blazers, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Embiid will be held out due to right knee injury management, likely in an effort to ensure he goes into the All-Star break healthy with only one additional game remaining. Dominick Barlow (illness) is also out, opening up minutes for Trendon Watford, Adem Bona and Andre Drummond in the frontcourt.

Embiid is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right knee injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Embiid has been a mainstay on the 76ers' injury report this season, and there's a chance he is sidelined for Monday's road tilt while managing a right knee injury. His absence would likely result in Andre Drummond entering the Sixers' starting five.
