Joel Embiid will be reevaluated in seven to 10 days as he receives treatment to address swelling in his left knee. Embiid participated in a workout on Thursday after missing the previous six games due to a left foot sprain. The sprain has healed, but the knee swelled up following Embiid’s workout.
Embiid has played in only 13 games this season and is averring 24.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 29.4 minutes.
In September, the Sixers and Embiid agreed to a three-year, $193 million extension, which was the maximum he could sign for. Embiid entered the 24-25 season with just under $300 million in guaranteed money over five seasons through 2029.
