Joel Embiid Remains Questionable After Shootaround
5 months agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) did some light shooting following Monday morning's shootaround and is officially listed as questionable on the team's injury report against the Washington Wizards due to knee soreness. Embiid twisted his knee in the fourth quarter of Friday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks, closing with 38 points, 14 rebounds, and four blocks in 36 minutes. Embiid was a full participant in Sunday's practice, however, putting him on track to suit up on Monday. The 29-year-old perennial All-Star would be an appetizing DFS option in a soft matchup on Monday's 13-game slate, but it's always possible that the Sixers opt for some load management against the 3-18 Wizards. Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris would be tasked with the bulk of the playmaking responsibilities if Embiid ends up sitting out, but a primary beneficiary of Embiid's prior absences has not stood out in any of his three missed games so far this year.
