Embiid (knee, personal reasons) will not play Tuesday against the Hornets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Embiid isn't healthy enough to play right now, but he's also away from the team for personal reasons. His status for Wednesday against Orlando is questionable at best. With Andre Drummond (ankle) out for the next three games, players such as Guerschon Yabusele, KJ Martin and Adem Bona could see extended minutes in the frontcourt.

Joel Embiid Latest News
Will be sidelined again Tuesday
Embiid (knee, personal reasons) will not play Tuesday against the Hornets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Embiid isn't healthy enough to play right now, but he's also away from the team for personal reasons. His status for Wednesday against Orlando is questionable at best. With Andre Drummond (ankle) out for the next three games, players such as Guerschon Yabusele, KJ Martin and Adem Bona could see extended minutes in the frontcourt.
Won't play against Detroit
Embiid (knee) is out for Saturday's game versus the Pistons, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports. Embiid's absence streak will extend to four games Saturday due to left knee injury management and personal reasons. Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele should continue to receive increased roles in the star big man's absence. Embiid's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Charlotte.
Out again Wednesday
Embiid (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Rockets, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Embiid did not participate in Tuesday's practice and will miss his third game in a row Wednesday. Philadelphia's franchise center has appeared in just four games this season, and the 76ers continue to tread very carefully with his left knee. Embiid's next chance to play will be Saturday against Detroit, and in the meantime, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele will likely hold down the fort.
Will miss at least one more game
Embiid (knee) has been diagnosed with swelling in his left knee and has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Clippers while being set for an evaluation at some point next week, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports. Embiid is dealing with yet another injury, and this is not an ideal scenario for a Philadelphia team that is also without Paul George due to a knee injury. Given this latest update, the earliest Embiid will return to the court will be against the Rockets on Nov. 27, but that will depend on how he progresses with his recovery during the next few days. Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele will see more time at center while Embiid is sidelined.
Won't play Friday
Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports. Embiid is dealing with a lingering left knee injury and will not suit up two days after aggravating the injury in Wednesday's loss to Memphis. With the superstar ruled out, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele are candidates for an increased role. Embiid's next chance to feature will come Sunday versus the Clippers.
Game-time call Friday
Embiid (knee), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets, will go through warmups before a determination is made on his status, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports. Embiid is a game-time decision while navigating left knee injury management. The 76ers will take a look at the big man during warmups and likely make a decision near tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET. The superstar didn't participate in the club's morning shootaround Friday after aggravating his knee injury in Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies.
Not active for shootaround Friday
Embiid (knee), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets, was present at the 76ers' morning shootaround but did not participate, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports. Embiid not going through shootaround bodes poorly for his chances of playing Friday. The big man appeared to aggravate his knee injury in Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies, during which he posted 35 points (10-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 35 minutes. If Embiid is sidelined, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
Back on injury report
Embiid is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets due to left knee injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports. After posting 35 points (10-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies, Embiid was left off the 76ers' initial injury report for Friday's game, which was released Thursday afternoon. However, the big man was added to the report Friday morning and is now in jeopardy of missing his 11th game of the season. If he's sidelined, Andre Drummond would likely slide back into the starting lineup again, while Guerschon Yabusele could see increased usage off the bench.
Scores 35 points in loss
Embiid registered 35 points (10-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 loss to Memphis. Embiid was one of Philadelphia's few standout performers in this defeat, leading the team in scoring and rebounding despite the outcome. Embiid has been limited to just four appearances after missing the team's initial nine contests due to a knee injury and a suspension. The 76ers will monitor Embiid's fitness and rest levels throughout the season, but the big man is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Nets, particularly if Paul George (knee) is unable to feature.
