Embiid closed with 35 points (13-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal across 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-115 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old center led the Sixers in scoring as he delivered 30-plus points for the seventh time in his last nine appearances. Embiid is still being held out for one end of Philly's back-to-backs, but he's been dominant when he's been on the court. Over that nine-game stretch, which stretches back to Jan. 16, he's averaging 33.1 points, 8.6 boards, 5.4 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.6 combined blocks and steals while shooting 53.4 percent from the floor and an impressive 51.9 percent (14-for-27) from long distance.

Embiid (ankle) will play Thursday against the Lakers, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Embiid was considered a true game-time call leading up to tipoff, and the team has since given him the green light to run the floor in LA. The big man will aim to continue his recent success, as he's averaging 32.9 points over his last eight games.

Embiid (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Embiid missed Tuesday's win over the Warriors, with that game coming as the second in a back-to-back set, and now he's being listed as questionable for Thursday's game. We'll have a better idea on Embiid's status following shootaround, but if he is able to return, Andre Drummond would head back to the bench.

Embiid is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to right ankle and knee injury management.

EDGE Analysis

This was a likely decision by the 76ers, considering Tuesday is the second half of a back-to-back set. The expectation is that Embiid will return to the lineup for Thursday's showdown against the Lakers. With the superstar big man sitting out against Golden State, Andre Drummond makes sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option as the likely starter at center.

Embiid recorded 24 points (8-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 128-113 win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Although Embiid didn't come close to matching his 40-point tour de force against the Pelicans, he displayed defensive mettle and kept Ivica Zubac in check. When healthy, Embiid has been a scoring behemoth in recent weeks, registering 30-plus points in six of his last 10 games.

Embiid (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old has been operating at an elite level of late, averaging 30.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists while shooting 51.8 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from three over his past 10 appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Embiid is listed on the injury report due to right ankle injury management but carries a probable tag, signaling optimism he'll suit up Monday. The big man has been on a tear lately, averaging 30.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists while shooting 51.8 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from beyond the arc over his past 10 appearances.

Embiid logged 40 points (13-27 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks in 39 minutes of Saturday's 124-114 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Embiid put up a season-high 40 points as he continues to light up the NBA. During the month of January, Embiid has averaged 29.7 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists across 14 appearances, with the 76ers winning 10 of those games -- in the three games without Embiid, the 76ers went 0-3.

Embiid finished Thursday's 113-111 win over the Kings with 37 points (13-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-13 FT), eight assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal over 36 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Embiid scored 10 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter to help the 76ers crawl back from an 11-point deficit, and he was credited with the assist on Tyrese Maxey's game-winning layup. Embiid continues to manage a lingering knee injury that will likely keep him off the floor for one game of back-to-back sets, but the 2023-24 MVP has been phenomenal when he does play, especially since the new year. He has scored at least 29 points in six consecutive games, and over that span he has averaged 33.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.5 threes over 35.6 minutes per game while connecting on 54.0 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Embiid (knee) will play Thursday against Sacramento, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
