Joel Embiid Resting on Monday Night
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee, injury management) won't play in Monday's game against the visiting Orlando Magic. The 31-year-old logged 20 minutes in both of the Sixers' two contests to begin the 2025 campaign. That is by design, as the team wants to take things slow in his recovery from offseason knee surgery. Of course, Embiid's reduced workload has resulted in subpar averages of 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.0 steals. Assuming he stays healthy, his statistical contributions should improve. However, until that happens, Embiid isn't the safest option in any fantasy format, although stashing him is highly recommended. Embiid will likely return to the lineup on Tuesday night versus the Washington Wizards for the second of back-to-back games for the 76ers.
