Joel Embiid: Breaking News

Probable for Game 2

Embiid (ankle) is probable for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks on Wednesday, per Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com. Embiid is dealing with a right ankle sprain, though the issue isn't expected to be severe enough to stop him from playing Wednesday. Over five appearances during the 2026 postseason to this point, the star big man has averaged 25.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.8 assists in 34.2 minutes per game.

Shooting woes in Game 1 defeat

Embiid finished Monday's 137-98 loss to New York in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 14 points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes. Embiid had a productive night at the charity stripe but struggled mightily from the field. After posting back-to-back double-doubles to close out the first round against Boston, the star big man couldn't carry that momentum into this one. While he still finished as Philadelphia's second-leading scorer, his struggles from beyond the arc continued -- he is shooting just 13.6 percent from deep in five postseason games. Embiid and the Sixers will look to steal a game at Madison Square Garden in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Cleared for Game 1

Embiid (abdomen) is available and starting Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks on Monday. Embiid was tagged as probable leading up to Game 1, and he's since been given the green light to take the court. He didn't appear to be on any type of minutes restriction in the first round against Boston, as he averaged 28.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists across 36.5 minutes per game in four appearances.
