Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (calf) has been cleared to play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks.

Tue Mar 28 202323:24Joel Embiid On The Injury Report For Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Dallas. The big man missed Monday's meeting with Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets because of calf tightness, an issue he's been dealing with lately. Considering Philadelphia is looking toward a deep playoff run, Embiid may get another night off. If that's the case, Dewayne Dedmon may draw another start. However, he only played 10 minutes versus the Nuggets. Instead, Paul Reed, who had 16 points, nine boards, two steals, and one block in 17 minutes, should remain on the fantasy radar.

Mon Mar 27 202315:02Joel Embiid Won't Suit Up Versus Nuggets
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The big man was questionable heading into this game, but has been officially ruled out after workouts on Monday morning. The Sixers will likely use a committee approach to try and fill the void. That means, P.J. Tucker, Dewayne Dedmon, and Paul Reed will likely all see increased roles. None of them are strong streaming options, but Tucker might be the best option out of the bunch.

Sun Mar 26 202318:43Joel Embiid Questionable Versus Nuggets
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (calf) is listed as questionable versus the Denver Nuggets on Monday. Embiid has been playing through some calf tightness, but has not missed a game due to the injury just yet. This is a huge match up with MVP implications against Nikola Jokic, but it remains to be seen if the Sixers decide to give their big man some rest. If Embiid is unable to play, P.J. Tucker, Dewayne Dedmon and Paul Reed should see increased minutes.

Sat Mar 25 202316:04Joel Embiid Uncertain To Play Versus Phoenix
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (calf) is questionable for Saturday's meeting in Phoenix. The MVP candidate carried the same injury designation before Friday's loss to Golden State, although he was declared available late in the evening. However, considering the team has championship aspirations, keeping him healthy is the top priority. With James Harden (Achilles) questionable as well, Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris, and De'Anthony Melton may be the primary scoring options for Philly on Saturday night. Yet, their stock will drop if either Harden or Embiid is in the lineup.

Sat Mar 25 202310:16Joel Embiid Almost Has A 50-Point Triple-Double Friday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid did MVP things in Friday's matchup against Golden State, going for 46 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block. He shot 13-for-23 from the field and 19-for-22 at the foul line, but despite Embiid's monster effort, the Sixers ended up dropping the game 120-112. Embiid had exited the previous game with a calf problem, so there was obviously uncertainty surrounding his health, but the big man proved that he is perfectly fine. Philadelphia has another game scheduled for Saturday against Phoenix, and Embiid should crush it again if he doesn't get rested.

Tue Mar 21 202309:13Joel Embiid Posts A Big Double-Double Against Chicago
Philadelphia 76ers power forward Joel Embiid strengthened his MVP case with a 37-point, 16-rebound double-double in Monday's 109-105 double-overtime loss to Chicago. This was a very low-scoring contest for a game that needed two overtimes to decide the winner, but Embiid still crushed it and racked up the stats. He added an assist, a steal and three blocks to his tally, shooting 11-for-22 from the field and 15-for-17 at the foul line. The Process has now gone for at least 30 points in 10 straight games. He will look to eat against the Bulls again on Wednesday.

Sat Mar 18 202309:48Joel Embiid Crushes The Hornets
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid posted a game-high 38 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and four blocks against Charlotte on Friday despite playing only three quarters. The game turned into a blowout quickly and Embiid ended up logging just 29 minutes. However, it was more than enough to produce another spectacular fantasy line. It's Embiid's eighth consecutive 30-point outing and it came with superb 16-for-21 shooting. He's starting to become the favorite for the MVP award and the chance to win it should be a great motivator for Embiid for the final few weeks of the season.

Thu Mar 16 202310:23Joel Embiid Bolsters His MVP Case Against Cavaliers
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid became the betting favorite for MVP overnight after leading the team to a quality win that gave them a firm grip on the third seed in the East. The 29-year-old from Cameroon dropped 36 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, and four blocks while shooting 12-for-19 from the floor, 2-for-5 from deep, and 10-for-10 from the free throw line. The big man has been on an absolute tear over the last few weeks and he's scored less than 20 points only three times this season. In the last seven games, he's averaging 36.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.1 blocks per game.

Mon Mar 13 202309:33Joel Embiid Needs Only Three Quarters To Extend 30-Point Streak
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid played only three quarters in Sunday's blowout win over Washington, but it was more than enough for him to record his sixth consecutive 30-point game. He put up a game-high 34 points in 31 minutes, shooting 12-for-21 from the field and 10-for-12 at the free-throw line. Embiid has been shy in the double-double column lately and only picked up eight rebounds Sunday, but he made a big contribution on the defensive end with four blocks and a steal, and also tallied four assists. The next matchup against Cleveland looks a rough one on paper for Embiid, but he should then enjoy two massive performances against Charlotte and Indiana, two teams that have been awful defensively against centers all season.

Sat Mar 11 202307:01Joel Embiid Caps Off Another Big Night With Late Game-Winner
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had another outstanding game Friday against Portland and finished it off by making the game-winning shot in the dying seconds.

Embiid had a game-high 39 points on 13-for-20 shooting from the field, adding seven rebounds and four assists to his tally with two steals and three blocks. The league's leading scorer has now hit at least 30 points in five consecutive games and also has three blocks in back-to-back outings. Embiid is a beast all over the court, and Washington will be his next victim on Sunday.

Wed Mar 8 202309:59Joel Embiid Takes Down T-Wolves With 39 Points
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid turned in another big performance on Tuesday night as his co-star, James Harden (foot), rested on the sidelines. The 28-year-old finished with 39 points, seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, and three blocks while shooting 13-for-22 from the floor and 4-for-4 from beyond the arc. He didn't need as many trips to the line as he did the first time against Minnesota when he had 20 free throw attempts. He hit all nine of his attempts on Tuesday though.

Thu Mar 2 202315:11Joel Embiid Listed As Probable Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) looks set to return to the court Thursday against Dallas, with the team listing him as probable for the contest. The Sixers started a back-to-back set Wednesday versus Miami and Embiid sat out the contest with left foot soreness. Paul Reed had a good game in Embiid's absence, notching a nice double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds, but he will be limited only to a small role again. Tyrese Maxey took Embiid's spot in the starting unit against the Heat and will likely head back to the bench Thursday, although he will continue to play an important role for the team.

Wed Mar 1 202314:07Joel Embiid Downgraded To Questionable
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami. He's a late addition to the injury report and could now miss his first game since Jan. 21. Embiid is in the midst of a dominant season and being without him after taking back-to-back losses is far from an ideal situation for Philadelphia. Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell will be expected to fill in for him if Embiid indeed can't play, and James Harden and Tyrese Maxey are set to carry the offense.

Sun Feb 26 202307:45Joel Embiid Bags 41 Points, 12 Rebounds Against Boston
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid dominated with 41 points against the Boston Celtics in Saturday's marquee matchup, adding 12 rebounds with five assists and three blocks. Embiid shot 12-for-21 from the field and was extremely busy at the foul line with a 17-for-18 effort. This was a fantastic performance from Embiid, but he likely would've traded it for a win, especially after his Hail Mary heave from 70 feet that would've sent the game to overtime was ruled out. The Process will be involved in a fascinating battle with Miami's Bam Adebayo in the next couple of games. It's a tough matchup on paper, but Embiid makes things look easy on most nights and could be very fired up after Saturday's events.

Fri Feb 24 202310:13Joel Embiid Posts Huge Stat Line In Win Over Memphis
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid did not have a great shooting night by any means, but he was able to still impact the game in so many ways. The superstar big man finished the game with 27 points, 19 rebounds, six assists, one steal, and six blocks while shooting a poor 7-for-25 from the floor. Despite the bad shooting, Embiid's crazy numbers in all of the traditional stats surely helped plenty of fantasy managers get ahead in their leagues after last night. The Sixers are going to need more of that to secure a top seed heading into the playoffs as they battle the Celtics and Bucks for the top three seeds.

Sun Feb 19 202323:29Joel Embiid Posts Efficient 32 Points In All-Star Game
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid originally wasn't sure if he was even going to be healthy enough to play the All-Star game this year and went on to share the second-highest point total on Team LeBron. The superstar big man ended the game with 32 points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block while shooting 14-for-19 from the floor and 4-for-8 from beyond the arc. Embiid saw a lot of easy buckets as most that saw the court resorted to hanging out on the perimeter and jacking threes. Embiid was only the second player to represent the 76ers at All-Star weekend this year after Mac McClung stole the show during the dunk contest.

Tue Feb 14 202318:30Joel Embiid Listed As Questionable Ahead Of Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. There is nothing new here as Embiid has been listed as questionable for the past month and will likely play. However, with the All-Star break right around the corner, the Sixers could use this opportunity to rest their star. If Embiid is surprisingly unable to go, Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed should see boosts in playing time. Newly acquired Dewayne Dedmon may also get some extra minutes if active.

Mon Feb 13 202318:57Joel Embiid Cleared For Monday's Contest
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. The big man was listed as questionable earlier in the day due to a left foot issue. It appears the superstar big man is fine, so he should serve his normal role in the starting five on Monday. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure Embiid is in there before tip off.

Sun Feb 12 202322:59Joel Embiid Picks Up Another Questionable Status On Monday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) continues to deal with left foot soreness which has been the cause of the questionable tag over the last few games. The good news for fantasy managers is that he's played through each one of the questionable tags so far. The bad news is that the team could decide to lean on the side of caution since they're facing the lowly Houston Rockets. If that is the case, look for Montrezl Harrell and Jalen McDaniels to see some more minutes. McDaniels would probably be the better streaming option in that case.
