Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) will return to the starting five for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The superstar center has missed each of the last four games due to a left foot sprain. The return of Embiid will mean less playing time for Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed. They were getting increased value without Embiid, but won't offer much upside with the big man healthy. Fantasy managers should expect Embiid to have a full workload, so get him back in your lineups.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The superstar center has missed each of the last four games due to a left foot sprain. Although, it appears he has a chance of returning for this game. There is no word on whether or not Embiid would be limited during his first game back. Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell would lose most of their streaming appeal if Embiid does suit up for this game.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) will miss at least the next two contests. The superstar big man has been diagnosed with a left mid-foot sprain, which means he'll sit out Tuesday and Friday night. This is awful for the Sixers with multiple starters already on the sideline. The combination of Shake Milton, Montrezl Harrell, Georges Niang and Paul Reed will attempt to fill the void. Milton being the best streaming option out of the bunch. Also, De'Anthony Melton is someone who is worth looking at as well, assuming he's still available in fantasy formats.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid posted an absurd career-high game as he led the team to a 105-98 win over the Utah Jazz. The perennial MVP candidate put up 59 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, seven blocks, and one steal as he shot 19-for-28 overall and 20-for-24 from the free-throw line. Embiid absolutely dominated both sides of the ball and he now has the fifth-most points in a single game in franchise history. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief as he's starting to look like the league-leading scorer he was last season.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored with ease against the Hawks on Saturday, putting up a season-high 42 points in a 121-109 win. He nailed one of his six three-point attempts but shot a solid 14-for-25 overall from the field and had a good 13-for-16 record at the line. Embiid also posted his third consecutive double-double with 10 rebounds and tallied six assists with two steals, two blocks and four turnovers in 40 minutes. This was a monster effort, and it's made even more impressive by the fact that Embiid tweaked his left ankle in the game. The injury puts his status for Sunday's meeting with Utah in doubt. If he is able to play, Embiid will find himself in a matchup against a team that has given up a league-high 19.5 rebounds per 48 minutes to centers this season.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was basically the only reliable option for this offense on Thursday. The big man notched 26 points on 9-of-18 shooting with 13 rebounds and two assists in the loss. The 28-year-old also had seven turnovers, which hurt, but the performances of Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris didn't help. Despite the turnovers, Embiid posted a solid game and helped keep his team in the game. The Sixers are still without James Harden (foot), which means Embiid will continue being the main factor for this offense going forward.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid ended a three-game absence on Monday and crushed the Suns with a game-high 33 points and 10 rebounds in a 100-88 win. He also had five assists with one block and three turnovers in 37 minutes. Shooting-wise, the comeback could have gone much better, but Embiid has been very efficient this season, so we can forgive him for Monday's 8-for-21 effort from the field. He eventually got over 30 points thanks to a perfect 16-for-16 record at the line. Embiid, who spent time on the sidelines with an illness, is set for a dominant stretch, with James Harden (foot) having been ruled out for a month last week. He will be battling the Hawks in the next couple of games in a favorable matchup against a team that gives up the 11th-most points to centers this season.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) has been upgraded to questionable for the team's game against the New York Knicks. He's been suffering from a non-COVID illness that has kept him out of the last two games. After the news about James Harden (foot) missing a month of action, Embiid's health becomes that much more important. If he still can't give it a go, a combination of Montrezl Harrell, Paul Reed, and Georges Niang should receive more opportunities. The inconsistency of their playing time makes them not-so-great options as streamers.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) won't play on Wednesday versus Washington. The 28-year-old will now miss his second straight game while hampered by a non-COVID-related illness. De'Anthony Melton is also out, so head coach Doc Rivers will likely continue to run his starting unit into the ground. As a result, Tyrese Maxey and James Harden are expected to lead the way offensively once again. Guys like Georges Niang, Danuel House Jr., and Montrezl Harrell could also get some action. However, all three are risky fantasy options.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. Embiid has already missed one game with the non-COVID illness, but may have a chance to suit up in their rematch against the Wizards. While Embiid sat, the Sixers have gone small with P.J. Tucker as small-ball center and De'Anthony Melton starting. If Embiid is out again, this trend would likely continue with James Harden and Tyrese Maxey having huge usage rates yet again.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He missed shootaround and clearly he isn't feeling well enough to suit up for this game. Last time Embiid missed a game De'Anthony Melton got the spot start. Although, Tyrese Maxey went off for 44 points during that game. It's uncertain if Melton will start or if the Sixers will go big with Montrezl Harrell. Fantasy managers will have to check back and see who head coach Doc Rivers decides to start.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) did not attend shootaround on Monday. That being said, the superstar big man should be considered questionable for Monday's contest against the Washington Wizards. It sounds like Embiid is dealing with an illness, so the team is likely going to wait until closer to game time before making a final decision. Tyrese Maxey went off for 44 points last time Embiid sat out a contest. P.J Tucker is expected to have an increased role if Embiid is unable to play. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to game time.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid finished with 12 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 18 minutes during the preseason win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Embiid went 6-for-13 from the field, although he couldn't sink either of his two attempts from downtown. The big man averaged a career-high 30.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 4.2 assists last season while adding 1.5 blocks and 1.1 steals. He was also arguably the league's MVP. However, fantasy managers enjoyed getting 68 games out of him, his most since being drafted in 2014. With that said, Embiid could easily finish as the most productive fantasy option and will likely be taken within the first few picks during drafts heading into the season.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was nearly named the league's MVP in 2021-22. However, he narrowly fell short, with Nikola Jokic claiming the award for the second consecutive time. With the Sixers falling short during the playoffs, Embiid has already begun preparing for the new season by putting in work on the perimeter and improving his finishing touch at the basket. The 28-year-old, who recently underwent surgery to repair a torn thumb ligament, played a career-high 68 games throughout the regular season. He also averaged 30.6 points, 11.7 boards, 1.5 blocks, and 1.1 steals while shooting 37.1% from deep. Nevertheless, while the veteran is already dominant, fantasy managers will certainly benefit if he can sweeten his shot even more and stay on the floor.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (face, thumb) managed to suit up for the playoff matchup against the Heat on Thursday and finished with 20 points, 12 rebounds, and a block. However, it wasn't enough, as Miami would win to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. The 28-year-old, who missed the first two games of the series due to an orbital fracture and concussion, undoubtedly wasn't at his best because of the injuries, so he should receive a free pass. Nonetheless, Embiid was one of the most impactful fantasy options throughout the regular season, and surprisingly, he stayed relatively healthy. He should be 100% come training camp, or at least close to it, so he'll remain a top pick for managers in all formats heading into the 2022-23 campaign.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (face, thumb) is questionable ahead of the pivotal postseason matchup against Miami on Thursday night. The big man took a beating during Game 5. However, he still led the team in scoring by finishing with 17 points. Nonetheless, considering the Sixers are one game away from elimination, it's unrealistic to believe Embiid won't be out there. Yet, considering his injuries, he may continue to struggle to produce his usual DFS numbers.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid finished with 17 points during the postseason meeting against Miami. Embiid led the team in scoring despite being bothered by the orbital fracture that kept him out the first two games of the series. At one point, he took a nasty shot from Dewayne Dedmon and hit the floor in obvious pain. However, the 28-year-old would return, although his effort on the offensive end wasn't enough to keep the Heat from securing the win. Nonetheless, it's safe to say many DFS managers were disappointed with Embiid's performance, especially considering his hefty rostering cost. As a result, he'll likely see a drop in popularity ahead of Game 6 on Thursday. Yet, he has an excellent chance of hitting value (and beyond) on his home turf.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (face, thumb) has once again been listed as questionable to play in Tuesday's contest vs. Miami. Despite the designation, there is virtually no chance that Embiid misses Game 5 after logging 38 minutes in Sunday's win. Even with double-doubles under his belt in his last two appearances, Embiid remains far from 100 percent, having combined for just 25 field-goal attempts in that span while donning a mask to protect a fractured orbital bone. Still boasting a significant DFS price tag alongside facing a stout Heat defense, Embiid's injury concerns factor heavily into the abbreviated DFS market Tuesday.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (face, thumb) has been listed as questionable to play in Sunday's game vs. Miami due to his facial fracture and sprained right thumb. Embiid returned to action for Game 3 and recorded 18 points and 11 rebounds across 36 minutes, making it highly unlikely that he would subsequently miss Game 4. While the MVP candidate was held to just 12 shot attempts, he had an enormous presence defensively. After DeAndre Jordan started both Games 1 and 2, the veteran did not appear off the bench in Game 3, likely indicating that as long as Embiid is cleared, he will hold no fantasy appeal.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (thumb, face, concussion) was cleared to suit up for the postseason matchup versus Miami on Friday. The big man hasn't played during this series after sustaining an orbital fracture and concussion during the first round. However, Embiid seemingly didn't miss a beat, accumulating a double-double via 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Sixers to a much-needed win. The protective face covering didn't appear to impact his vision much either, as he went 5-for-12 from the field and 8-for-10 from the charity stripe. Nonetheless, the 28-year-old is still dealing with a torn thumb ligament on his shooting hand. However, Embiid should remain a must-start DFS option for the remainder of the postseason.
