Embiid (ribs) has returned to Thursday's game against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Embiid took a shot to the ribs, which required a quick trip to the locker room, but he's since returned to the game. It appears he's fine.

Embiid went to the locker room during the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Heat due to an apparent rib injury, Dave Uram of KYW Newsradio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Embiid looked to take a knee to the ribs while attacking the basket and was in obvious pain well after the contact. He can be considered questionable to return until the team provides an update on his status.

Embiid (shin, knee) will play in Thursday's game against the Heat, per Austin Krell of OnPattison.com.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, the star big man is overcoming a probable tag with shin and knee issues Thursday. Embiid has reached peak form as of late, averaging 32.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 33.4 minutes per game in his last seven contests.

Embiid is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Heat due to right knee injury management and right shin soreness, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Embiid has been tending to knee and shin injuries, issues that caused him to miss five consecutive games before playing 26 minutes against the Pacers on Tuesday. While he's not fully recovered, the veteran center is expected to play through the injury Thursday. Embiid logged 27 points, six rebounds and five assists against Indiana.

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.

Embiid (knee/shin) won't play Saturday in New Orleans.

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.
