The Philadelphia 76ers need to move on from Joel Embiid, and this summer is one possible way to do it. But that would mean acquiring another expensive, injury-plagued big man, and it could cost them their first-round pick in June.

There were high expectations for the Sixers’ postseason chances in Philadelphia a week ago. They made a stunning comeback from 3-1 down to eliminate the Boston Celtics in the first round. Many analysts around the game suggested that they were the new favorites from the East to reach the NBA Finals. Then they ran into a buzz saw called the New York Knicks.

The organization has a lot of decisions to make after the 76ers’ dominance and loss to New York. Is Daryl Morey’s run as team president over? Should coach Nick Nurse be fired? Still, for whoever is running the team next month, one era that needs to end is Embiid’s time in the City of Brotherly Love.

Why the Philadelphia 76ers should trade Joel Embiid this summer

The seven-time All-Star and 2022-23 NBA MVP will go down as one of the greatest players in 76ers history. That would be one of the greatest “what if” stories in league history. Despite once being an impressive athlete for a man of his size, the 32-year-old’s body is now in disrepair. In his 10 years in the league, he has played 60 or more games only four times due to numerous injuries, mostly to his legs.

In 2025-26, the 76ers placed him in bubble wrap and allowed him to play in only 38 games this season after appearing in 19 last year. Although he can perform at an All-Star level when healthy – he has posted 26.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks this season – his body cannot be trusted at all. This was proven during these playoffs, and with $186 million left on his contract, he is a bigger problem than a benefit for the organization.

What makes it even worse is that he has become a toxic personality at a time when Tyrese Maxey should be the new face of the franchise. He once again could not accept his team’s failures against the Knicks and blamed the referees. Then the season in which he played 38 games was called a “breakthrough”. In a blue-collar city like Philadelphia, Embiid has worn out his welcome. The 76ers will have to turn the pages to progress.

Yet, because he is so composed and has shown that he will never be able to recapture his previous form – plus he is owed so much money – he is perhaps the most unattainable player in the NBA. Unless he was traded for a similar player, and a sweetener was added to the deal.

Should the 76ers try to replace Anthony Davis with Joel Embiid?

In many ways, 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis has had a similar career to Embiid. He also topped superstar projections. And while he could be a dominant force on the court like Embiid, injury problems followed him throughout his career. Besides, he still has a lot of money coming in. If Davis opts out of the final year of his contract in 2027-28, he could make up to $121 million over the next two years.

The Washington Wizards traded for him earlier this year and hope he – and Trae Young – can be part of a big resurgence next season. Still, reports have revealed that he is not thrilled about playing in DC, and may be open to another trade. But would the Wizards be willing to take Embiid back in a trade? Probably not.

However, if the 76ers were bold enough to add draft picks, they could do so. While Washington is expected to make big changes next season, they are still a rebuilding team that has the No. 1 pick in next month’s NBA Draft. What if they could also get the 22nd overall pick in one of the deepest drafts ever? Plus another first-rounder in a few years?

This would be a high cost for the 76ers. But they have the pieces to be very good again next season and they aren’t as eager to keep that pick at 22. Moving Embiid would be an addition by subtraction move. Plus, having Davis around even for one season is still a very good replacement option.

Although a trade is unlikely, if the 76ers can convince anyone to take Joel Embiid, his play and his contract, the Wizards would be the best trade partner.

Joel Embiid doesn’t want any blame for the Philadelphia 76ers’ failures in their semifinal series against the New York Knicks. And after their defeat in Game 3, they took the path of conspiracy to escape from it.

Friday was a must-win scenario for Embiid and the 76ers. They entered last night’s Game 3 up 2-0, having lost a lot of confidence after the Game 7 win over the Boston Celtics in the quarterfinals. With the return of the seven-time All-Star after missing Game 2 and some home support, Philly was in a better position to get its first W of the series.

However, after a strong first quarter and an early lead, the Knicks took control of the game in the second quarter and never relinquished it the rest of the night. While there are many who could take the blame for going 3-0, Embiid doesn’t want to take any of it.

After Game 1, he tried to put responsibility on the referees and accused the Knicks of dirty play. Unsurprisingly, he is also blaming the referees for the Game 3 failure. Yet, he has now gone beyond claiming poor performance by officials and is taking the path of conspiracy.

Joel Embiid: ‘I think it’s good when New York wins’

Embiid said when asked about officiating after Game 3, “They shot 32 free throws, we had 16. We’re not a team that shoots a lot of threes. We attack, put the ball on the floor. I don’t know.” “I think it’s good when New York wins, so we’ve got to have a mentality of not fouling. Being smart enough to not put ourselves in a position where they can take advantage of it.”

Of course, it must be the case that the league just wants the Knicks to advance and reach the NBA Finals. It can’t be that he was 3-11 in 14 minutes and .24 when he was on the floor in Game 1. Or that he missed Game 2 because of his lame body. Or that he let Tyrese Maxey take the lead in Game 3 instead of taking 17 shots and being -9 when he clearly wasn’t hot.

Making matters worse is Embiid’s avoidance of blame for the 76ers’ 3-0 series loss, becoming a viral sensation for his flop-a-thon in Game 3 on Saturday. The one-time NBA MVP is already an elite player. Taking responsibility for losses and being a leader makes him one of the least-liked stars in the NBA.

While it seems like the entire basketball world knows that Tyrese Maxey is the best player on the Philadelphia 76ers, Nick Nurse clearly doesn’t, and his decision to let his veteran lead in Game 3 vs. the New York Knicks may cost him his job next week.

On Friday night, the 76ers were in position to win. They lost 2-0 in their semifinal series against the Knicks and had to deal with an atmosphere at Xfinity Mobile Arena that seemed to have just as many, if not more, New York fans. Still, Nurse had the horses to pull out a win and escape a 3-0 hole, especially with Joel Embiid back on the field.

There’s no doubt the 76ers are in a better position with Embiid on the floor. The seven-time All-Star commands respect on both sides of the court, even in this diminished version. However, the 2025-26 season confirmed an undeniable fact: Maxi is and should always be the No. 1 option on offense. Yet somehow the Sixers head coach hasn’t gotten the memo.

Where was Tyrese Maxey Friday night?

In addition to being the fifth-highest per-game scorer in the NBA this season, Nurse had enough evidence to focus on Maxey in Game 3, especially against the Knicks. The two teams split their four games during the regular season, and Games 1 and 2 of this series were very different.

With Embiid being the focal point in the opener, he got blown out for 40 points. With Embiid sidelined and Maxey moving on, Game 2 was close the entire time, and over-utilization of its starters was likely the difference between victory and defeat on Wednesday. As good a defense as the Knicks have, Maxi gives them the same problems he does the rest of the NBA. He is a wonderful blend of lightning speed and cunning.

This is Tyrese Maxey’s team now. Still, in the most important game of the 2025-26 season, Nurse wanted his 76ers to play like they did in 2022-23.

On Friday night, the two-time All-Star led not only the 76ers, but all players with 44 in Game 3. Yet, in the most bizarre statistic of the night, he took the fourth-most shots on his team. Paul George looked like he was 36 as he led the team with 18 shots, Embiid had 17 and Kelly Oubre — who averaged just 10 a game during the season — tallied 16 on Friday. Maxi had 12 shots in Game 3.

Nick Nurse loses his 76ers job in Game 3 vs. Knicks

Furthermore, it was clear that neither George nor Embiid were on a heater at halftime, as they were both outscored by Oubre on Friday as he led the 76ers with 22 points in a 108-94 loss to the Knicks in Game 3.

It’s baffling that as soon as the Knicks took control of the game in the second quarter, Nurse did not pull his team to the bench and demand an offensive run through Maxi, their best player and scorer.

Maxi can certainly take some blame for not asserting himself and demanding the ball. But he’s still only 25, and it’s no surprise he’d take on a pair of NBA greats in a big game. This is where Nurse must show the courage and leadership to engage his veterans in this instance to do what is best for the team.

Nurse was already feeling some heat in his third season as head coach of the 76ers. However, his coaching in Game 3 proves that – barring a history-breaking comeback to win this series – he is not the guy to take this team to the next level and will be out as head coach next week.

Just hours before the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers take the field for the decisive Game 3 of their playoff series, some new updates have emerged regarding injuries to several key players.

The Sixers are in position to win on Friday night as they look to avoid falling into a 3-0 deficit against the Knicks. If they want to turn things around and try to tie the series this weekend, they’ll need to get seven-time All-Star Joel Embiid back on the court for Game 3.

The one-time NBA MVP missed Game 2 due to hip and ankle problems. According to SNY’s Ian Begley, Embiid is listed as questionable for tonight’s game which tips off at 7:00 pm ET. However, Knicks has been dealing with far more health issues in recent days.

Hart and Robinson probable for Knicks vs. 76ers Game 3

One of the biggest stories in New York is the availability of forward OG Anunoby. He limped off in the final minutes of Wednesday’s game, went to the locker room and never returned. He was diagnosed with a hamstring strain, and reports claimed the Knicks were optimistic about him playing in Games 3 or 4.

Begley reports he is still listed as questionable for tonight. This likely means he will sit out Game 3, which many expected.

Along with Embiid, skilled Knicks center Mitchell Robinson was unavailable Wednesday due to an illness. However, Begley says he is on track to return in Game 3 and is still listed as probable in the latest injury report.

During Wednesday’s game, forward Josh Hart hit his thumb on a Sixers player while going after a rebound and was in severe pain. That’s saying something for a player as tough and durable as Hart. But according to X-Account New York Basketball, a key member of the roster is listed as probable for this evening’s matchup in Philly.

The Philadelphia 76ers have already square off against the New York Knicks in the second round of the NBA playoffs. Now we’ve learned they’ll be without Joel Embiid for Game 2 on Wednesday night.

The big man will be out of tonight’s game due to soreness in his ankle and hip. He was unable to participate in the team’s morning shootaround. As Shams Charania said, Embiid was “getting treatment around the clock for his efforts to play.”

The Knicks beat Philly 137-98 in Game 1, even with Embiid in the lineup. New York limited the former league MVP to 3-of-11 shooting for 14 points and just four rebounds. He averaged 28.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists in four games against the Boston Celtics in the first round, helping the Sixers win the series in seven games.

Embiid was still recovering from an emergency appendectomy near the end of the regular season, which caused him to miss the first three games of the Boston series.

Sixers coach Nick Nurse expected to return for Game 2

Meanwhile, head coach Nick Nurse is expected to sit out Game 2 after leaving the team under tragic circumstances after Game 1. He attended the funeral of his brother Steve, who was 62. His death was unexpected.

Philadelphia 76ers great Joel Embiid isn’t getting any sympathy from New York fans and radio hosts when it comes to complaints about the New York Knicks’ physicality in their ongoing playoff series.

On Monday night, the highly anticipated semifinal series between the Knicks and Sixers began at Madison Square Garden. Both teams entered the series performing brilliantly. However, basketball fans only needed three quarters to see that New York was the real team on fire en route to a 137-98 victory.

After the game, to no one’s surprise, Philly big man Joel Embiid complained about the Knicks’ physicality. Specifically, the moment when his stomach hurt during a screen. The blow left him in pain as the area had been damaged since his appendix was removed a few weeks ago.

Embiid said, “I thought it was unnecessary, but we move on. Whatever it is, it’s playoff basketball. If that’s the reality of it, I think we have to go out and be physically active as well.”

It’s hard to know if Mikal Bridges had any malicious intent on the play. But this claim comes just days after Jaylen Brown took aim at Embiid for being a dedicated flopper in their series against the Boston Celtics. This is a few years removed from the series where the center injured Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson with a dirty move. Most people outside of Philadelphia wouldn’t feel bad for the seven-time All-Star.

You can add popular midday WFAN host and New York Giants great Tiki Barber to that group. On the Tuesday morning edition of the show he co-hosted with Evan Roberts, the one-time NFL star questioned Embiid’s toughness.

“If there’s going to be an injury, there’s going to be a physical injury, and someone may accidentally or otherwise attack you, then don’t play,” Barber began by saying. “Remember when I broke my hand in 2000? I had to tape up my other hand because they were literally stepping on it, not knowing my hand was broken. I didn’t complain about it. That’s part of the risk of injury. So, stop being quiet.”

It will be interesting if it is used as bulletin board material in the 76ers locker room before Wednesday’s game or if it gets some “unique” chants from Knicks fans inside MSG for Game 2.

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics 111-97 in Game 2 of their first-round series on Tuesday night. And even more surprising is the fact that they did it without Joel Embiid.

Even better news for the Sixers is that Embiid actually participated in practice on Thursday, indicating that the big man’s return could be in time to help Philly make life uncomfortable for Boston.

Head coach Nick Nurse told the media that Embiid wants to play and they definitely want him to play. But the coach did not give us any specific deadline to return.

“I think we’ll probably know a lot by the end of today as to where he’s at. … He wants to play, and we want him to play. I don’t know how close we are to that at this point, but I think there’s some progress being made.”

He said the seven-time All-Star participated in “parts” of practice Thursday, the day before Game 3.

Embiid participates in practice for the first time since emergency appendectomy

Embiid is recovering from an emergency appendectomy on April 9. This is his first return to the court with his teammates in two weeks since then.

Of course, keeping the Big Fella healthy and on the court throughout his career has always been a challenge. This season, he only managed to play 38 games in the regular season, after playing only 19 games last year and 39 games two seasons ago. But when he’s on the court, he can still dominate. This year, in those limited games, he averaged 26.9 points, although his rebounding dropped to just 7.7 per game, the lowest of his career.

The Sixers are now back in Philly and will look to hold serve at home to put the heavily favored Celtics on their heels. Having a near-healthy Embiid in the lineup (the best they can hope for), to go along with a red-hot backcourt of VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey (30 and 29 points, respectively, in Game 2), will really do wonders for the team’s chances of being a real threat to the Celtics.

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday night, with Game 4 on Sunday.

Joel Embiid has earned an unfortunate reputation throughout his career. Although he is one of the best centers of his generation, the Philadelphia 76ers star often finds himself on the sidelines. Injuries have been a sadly common theme for the star centre, as his body has suffered a number of injuries throughout his career.

The same can be said this season also. Embiid has already missed more than half the season after undergoing knee surgery earlier this season. The 76ers center played his first game since suffering an oblique strain this past Wednesday. After the win over the Chicago Bulls, Embiid talked about his injury and why his oblique injury is “harder” to recover from than a knee injury.

“My knees haven’t been a problem for a long time,” Embiid explained. “That’s a thing of the past for me. The slant was very tricky, and it’s still tricky. You can’t really do anything about it, you have to let it play out and hope it doesn’t get worse.”

Before the game against the Bulls, Embiid had missed the previous 13 games due to an oblique strain. However, before that injury, the 76ers star missed a large portion of the season after undergoing knee surgery. The surgery was performed after the 2024-25 season and was intended to alleviate the problems Embiid has suffered over the past few years.

Embiid’s return comes at the right time for the 76ers. Star point guard Tyrese Maxey is still out with a finger injury and could be out for a few more games. With Philadelphia firmly in the playoff race, the team needs every player on its roster to make one last effort.

The 76ers will get another big boost for home expansion. Paul George, who was suspended for 25 games earlier this season for violating the NBA’s drug use policy, returned against the Bulls. George finished the game with 28 points, six rebounds and four assists, while Embiid was dominant with 35 points, six rebounds, seven assists and one block.

The 76ers are in seventh place with a 40-33 record, just a half-game behind the sixth-seeded Toronto Raptors and the final guaranteed playoff spot.

The Philadelphia 76ers will take the field for a home game against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday evening. Joel Embiid is on the injury report, currently listed as questionable due to a right oblique strain. Everything we know about Embiid’s injury and his playing status on Wednesday against the Bulls.

Joel Embiid’s playing situation against the Bulls

Joel Embiid hasn’t appeared in a game for the 76ers since late February as he’s been dealing with an oblique strain, so his upgrade to questionable on the injury report before the Bulls game is certainly an encouraging sign, even if he doesn’t ultimately suit up for it.

Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. will be out for the 76ers in this one, while Paul George is back in the lineup after serving a league-mandated suspension of 25 games. Quentin Grimes is questionable due to an illness.

Meanwhile, the Bulls have listed forward Anfernee Simmons as questionable due to a left ulnar styloid fracture, while Isaac Okoro is also questionable due to right patellofemoral pain syndrome. Guershon Yabusele is questionable with a left ankle sprain.

The 76ers are currently in seventh place in the Eastern Conference due to consecutive losses to both the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic, and they are looking to bounce back after losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder at home earlier this week.

Philadelphia is a game back from the Atlanta Hawks, who occupy the coveted number six seed in the conference, which represents an opportunity to avoid the play-in round altogether.

In any case, the 76ers and Bulls are scheduled to tip off from Philadelphia on Wednesday at 7:00 PM ET.

The Philadelphia 76ers face the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night and Joel Embiid is once again at the center of the injury report. He is listed as questionable due to a right oblique strain, putting the focus on the 76ers’ franchise star as the team looks to bounce back from the loss.

The 76ers enter the matchup at 37-32. They are ranked 9th in the Eastern Conference and are trying to stabilize their position in the playoff race. Meanwhile, Sacramento falls to 18-52. The Kings are ranked 15th in the West and continue to search for answers amid a poor season. Here’s everything we know from the injury report about Joel Embiid and his playing status against the Kings.

Embiid remains the anchor of the 76ers whenever he is on the field. He averaged 26.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 33 games. He is also shooting 49.5 percent from the field and 85.8 percent from the free-throw line.

Additionally, he continues to dictate matchups in the paint. He consistently attracts defensive attention and creates space for teammates. His scoring presence sets the tone for Philadelphia’s offense. It gives the team more structure and confidence when he plays.

joel embiid injury status vs kings

The 76ers’ injury report notes Embiid’s availability as particularly important. The league has suspended Paul George, while Tyrese Maxey (finger) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) are sidelined. Johnny Broom is also out. Philadelphia’s error chances are reduced if Embiid can’t play.

The Kings, on the other hand, have a lengthy injury report. Domantas Sabonis (knee), Zach LaVine (finger), and De’Andre Hunter (eye) are out. Keegan Murray (ankle) and Devin Carter (calf) also will miss the game, while Malik Monk (ankle) and Nick Clifford (hamstring) are questionable.

Embiid’s situation also tells a bigger story. He hasn’t been on the questionable list in quite some time, which is a sign of progress. Although he is unlikely to play, the update suggests that he will return soon.

So when it comes to whether Joel Embiid is playing tonight vs. the Kings, the answer leans towards ‘no’. His condition remains questionable, but signs point towards a return sooner rather than later.

On Tuesday evening, the Philadelphia 76ers returned to the loss column with a blowout road loss at the hands of the Denver Nuggets. The 76ers were playing without several key players, including big man Joel Embiid, who remained out of the lineup due to injury.

However, Embiid was present on the sidelines at Ball Arena, and after the game, he shared a good moment With fellow Nuggets MVP big man Nikola Jokic.

Embiid and Jokic have long been viewed as the two best centers on the NBA landscape, and fans have been frustrated by the lack of a head-to-head matchup between the two former MVPs. In fact, Embiid hasn’t played a game in Denver since the 2019-20 season, having been injured at that time of year every season since then.

Meanwhile, the 76ers recently slipped to ninth place in the Eastern Conference amid the Atlanta Hawks’ 10-game winning streak, and it’s unclear when Embiid will be ready to return to the court. The 76ers are still dealing with the absence of Paul George due to league suspension, as well as Tyrese Maxey, who is out with a finger injury.

At this point, it’s highly unlikely that the 76ers could realistically fall further than tenth place in the Eastern Conference, meaning they would be at worst heading into the play-in tournament. However, in a season that started with so much promise, it is certainly disappointing for Philadelphia fans to see things fall apart due to injuries once again.

The 76ers will next take the court on Thursday evening as they look to get back into the win column against the Sacramento Kings.

The Philadelphia 76ers face Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night, and Joel Embiid is once again at the center of the injury report. The 76ers have listed Embiid as out with a right oblique strain, making Philadelphia the franchise star the focus of attention as the team looks to extend a two-game winning streak.

The 76ers enter the matchup at 37-31, No. 9 in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are 41-27, in 5th place in the Western Conference and looking to bounce back from a recent loss against the Los Angeles Lakers. With both teams pushing for momentum, Embiid’s absence looms large.

Embiid remains the 76ers’ anchor when available. In 33 games, he is averaging 26.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists, while shooting 49.5 percent from the field, 31.8 percent from three and 85.8 percent from the line. He also adds 1.1 blocks and 0.6 steals per game.

When Embiid plays, the 76ers operate with far more structure and interior dominance. His ability to command double teams and control the paint shapes Philadelphia’s entire offensive system.

joel embiid injury status vs nuggets

The 76ers’ injury report includes several additional names. Jonny Broom is out as his right knee recovers from surgery. Paul George is out due to league suspension. Tyrese Maxey is out with a strained right tendon, while Kelly Oubre Jr. is out with a left elbow sprain. Dellen Terry is listed as questionable due to a left shoulder problem.

As for Denver, the Nuggets have several players listed out on the injury report. Those names include Jabari Walker, Darron Holmes II, Curtis Jones and KJ Simpson on G League assignment. Peyton Watson is also out with a right hamstring strain.

Still, Embiid’s absence remains the biggest story in this matchup. The 76ers will try to maintain their momentum even without their star. The Nuggets, meanwhile, aim to respond after the loss.

So when it comes to the question of whether Joel Embiid is playing tonight against the Nuggets, the answer is no. Their rightward bias will keep them on the sidelines. As a result, Philadelphia will need to adjust in an important inter-conference matchup.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has missed his team’s last eight games with a right oblique strain. With the 76ers battling for a playoff position, head coach Nick Nurse said the star big man participated in individual on-court workouts on Friday. He said Embiid could return during Philadelphia’s three-game road trip next week.

“He came out yesterday. Obviously not with the team, but he came out for an individual workout. He’s feeling a little better,” Nurse said Saturday before Philadelphia’s 104-97 win over the Brooklyn Nets. “I don’t want to anticipate anything, but I think there’s a possibility [him returning on our upcoming road trip]. Hopefully, he can.”

The 76ers are struggling to avoid the Eastern Conference play-in tournament amid injuries to Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre and suspensions for Paul George.

Joel Embiid nears return from long absence for playoff hopeful 76ers

Philadelphia is 3-5 during Embiid’s latest absence. Meanwhile, Maxi is expected to be out for at least three weeks with a tendon injury in his right pinky. Oubre will be out for at least two weeks with a left elbow sprain, while George is eligible to return from his suspension on March 25.

The 76ers’ recent cold snap has dropped them to eighth place in the Eastern Conference. They are two games behind the sixth-place Miami Heat, 1.5 games behind the seventh-place Toronto Raptors and half a game behind the ninth-place Atlanta Hawks.

Embiid has appeared in only 33 games this season while battling knee, ankle, calf and oblique injuries. The former MVP is averaging 26.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists on .495/.318/.858 shooting splits.

Philadelphia is 21-12 in games Embiid has played and 15-19 in games he has missed.

NBA 世界仍在关注迈阿密热火队的大个子巴姆·阿德巴约在球队战胜华盛顿奇才队的比赛中砍下历史性的 83 分，但并不是每个人都喜欢他。据《费城之声》的亚当·阿伦森报道，费城 76 人队后卫小凯利·乌布雷对巴姆·阿德巴约的壮举并没有留下深刻的印象，他认为他的费城队友乔尔·恩比德在他拿下 70 分时表现得更好。

“我只想说，乔尔做得更有效率，他在四分之三内就做到了，”乌布雷说。

乌布雷为队友挺身而出并没有什么问题，但值得指出的是，正如阿伦森指出的那样，乔尔·恩比德实际上​​是在第四节打出了70分的表现。

2024 年 1 月 22 日，恩比德在对阵圣安东尼奥马刺队的比赛中拿下 70 分。他全场41投24中（58.5%），三分线2投1中（50%），罚球线23投21中（91.3%），拿下70分。他打了37分钟。

相比之下，阿德巴约43投20中（46.5%），三分线22投7中（31.8%），罚球线43投36中（83.7%）。他打了42分钟。

乌布雷说恩比德的比赛比巴姆·阿德巴约更有效率，这是有道理的。但归根结底，83分就是83分。阿德巴约现在是NBA历史上第三位可以说单场得分超过80分的球员。

作为三届全明星球员，阿德巴约已成为热火队的基石之一。在拿下 83 分的大师级比赛后，他本赛季的场均得分从十几岁上升到了 20.0 分。

The Philadelphia 76ers is the biggest fantasy game of the 2025-26 NBA season. Many fans believe this team has a legitimate chance to make the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in a quarter century, but that can only happen if Joel Embiid is healthy and playing at an impressive level. The former MVP-winning center has missed half the campaign and is currently dealing with an oblique strain. According to PhillyVoice’s Adam Aaronson, he’s still at least a week away from returning to the court.

Embiid has begun individual strength and conditioning work, but it remains to be seen when he will participate in practice. The Sixers will reevaluate their injury-plagued big man and hope for some good news.

Additionally, standout rookie VJ Edgecombe did not practice due to a back injury suffered Tuesday. His status for Saturday’s road matchup vs. the Atlanta Hawks is uncertain. Fortunately, veteran forward Kelly Oubre Jr. was back in action after missing the last two contests due to illness. He is expected to take the field at State Farm Arena.

Philadelphia (34-28) has endured ups and downs all season, but this is not the ideal time to endure abundant adversity. Nick Nurse’s team remains in sixth place in the East, trying hard to overcome the Orlando Magic, Miami Heat and scorching Charlotte Hornets.

With Paul George serving a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy, the 76ers need a healthy No. 21 even more.

76ers’ Joel Embiid can still dominate opponents

Despite his obvious physical limitations, Embiid is still an offensive powerhouse on the floor. He is scoring 26.6 points per game while shooting 49.5 percent from the field this season.

Before suffering his latest setback, the two-time scoring champion was beginning to find his rhythm from 3-point range. He missed 42.9 percent of his attempts from distance in five February games. If Joel Embiid is shooting from all spots on the hardwood, this group can compete with anyone in the conference. Defenses will be pushed to their limits trying to stop five-time All-NBA selection Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe and Paul George.

But how many more “ifs” can fans endure? He has experienced firsthand the heartache that can come from setting high expectations. Regardless of how Embiid progresses through his recovery, the Sixers are having an entertaining campaign that should leave the city feeling optimistic about the long-term future of the franchise.

Nobody wants to admit it, but at this point, everything else will be a bonus. This is just the reality of the situation.

波士顿凯尔特人队正准备周日晚上迎战他们的宿敌费城 76 人队，虽然费城大个子乔尔·恩比德不会出现在阵容中，但这对主队来说不太可能是一个轻松的夜晚。 76人队已经取得三连胜，并试图从东部第六名的位置上攀升。他们落后第五名多伦多猛龙队1.5个胜场，落后第四名克利夫兰骑士队3个胜场。

76人队不会让恩比德出现在阵容中，因为他在周四晚上战胜迈阿密热火队的比赛中受到斜伤。恩比德因伤将缺席至少三场比赛。 76人队的大个子在他的职业生涯中一直受到多次伤病的困扰。错过对阵凯尔特人队的关键比赛以及球队接下来对阵圣安东尼奥马刺队和犹他爵士队的两场比赛对费城来说是一个重大问题。

队友安德烈·德拉蒙德对恩比德充满同情，他希望这位大个子能够找到避免受伤并保持健康的方法。据吉娜·米泽尔 (Gina Mizell) 报道，德拉蒙德 (Drummond) 表示：“我想用泡沫布把他包裹起来，给他一个拥抱。” 费城问询报。 “我只是觉得他无法休息。”

恩比德在他的职业生涯中一直存在健康问题。这种斜伤看似相对较小，但每年这个时候至少要缺席三场比赛，对于他和他的队友来说都是一个巨大的打击。

Recently, the Philadelphia 76ers received some tough news when it was announced that big man Joel Embiid would be sidelined due to an oblique strain. The injury occurred during a recent home win over the Miami Heat, and came as Embiid was recently returning from a calf injury that kept him from playing time since the All-Star break.

Now, In Street Clothes’ Jeff Stotts has shed more light on what the timetable for Embiid’s recovery might look like.

“New Joel Embiid Injury Update: Oblique strains are far more common in sports like baseball, but do occur in the NBA. NBA players to suffer the injury include Desmond Benn and Dame Lillard. In the NBA, the average time lost for oblique strains in a season is 4.2 games (~11.6 days),” Stotts on X, formerly Twitter, reported.

Injuries have been a major part of Embiid’s career, derailing both his 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons following his MVP campaign in 2022-23. He has been in and out of the lineup all year for the 76ers this season as he tries to manage his chronic knee issues.

Meanwhile, the 76ers are still awaiting the return of Paul George, who is currently serving a suspension for violating the league’s banned substance policy.

The 76ers have done a solid job of holding down the fort in the absence of their two stars, with Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe forming one of the most explosive backcourts in the NBA. The 76ers are currently 33-26 on the season, and are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, 1.5 games behind the Toronto Raptors. If the postseason began today, Philadelphia would face the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs in a rematch of their 2024 matchup.

In any case, the 76ers will next take the field against the Boston Celtics on Sunday evening.

After some dynamic performances following the All-Star break, Joel Embiid is expected to miss several games due to a right oblique strain.

Taking to social media to highlight Embiid’s latest injury in a stop-and-start season, The Athletic’s Tony Jones revealed that “The Process” will miss the next three games due to a right oblique strain he suffered in the team’s Thursday night win over the Miami Heat.

“Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid has been diagnosed with a right oblique strain and will miss the next three games.”,” Jones wrote on social media.

Initially starting the season on the shelf as he recovered from offseason surgery, and moving forward, when Embiid actually took the court for the 76ers, he largely recaptured his MVP form. “The Process” is averaging 26.6 points in just 31.2 minutes of action per game, recording 3.9 assists to go with 7.5 rebounds each night, and allowing Tyrese Maxey to take over the offense at times, clearing the floor as a 31.8 percent 3-point shooter while power forwards like Dominic Barlow and Jabari Walker do the dirty work in the painted zone.

Can the 76ers keep things on hold against the Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz until Embiid potentially returns on March 7 against the Atlanta Hawks? Considering that the team has a 12-14 record with Embiid off the court, that may be tough, but considering that this injury occurred during a game rather than being his knee or any other lower-body malfunction, it’s safe to assume that “The Process” won’t need too much of a ramp-up to return to his old form over the next month.

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Miami Heat 124-117 on Thursday night. In the win, Maxey led all Sixers players with 28 points, although was a poor 9 of 25 from the floor. Nevertheless, the 76ers guard made history by surpassing Allen Iverson for most triples made in franchise history.

Entering the game, he had made 882 triples in his career, three less than Iverson. He knocked down five of them in the win, making 5 of 12 from deep, including four in the first quarter.

After the win, Maxey shared his thoughts on surpassing Iverson.

“Honestly, it’s just a blessing. I’m so happy, man. I’m blessed,” Maxi said humbly.

“I thank God. I thank the 76ers organization for preparing me, trusting me and believing in me… I’m grateful to my coaches, Doc [Rivers], [Nick] Nurse, she gave me a lot of confidence.

“Last but not least are my teammates, man. Everyone… I yelled to Tobias. [Harris] First. My freshman year, he told me I was a great shooter, even though I wasn’t shooting as well as I wanted to. Finally, Joel [Embiid]. He had been thinking about me shooting 10 threes a game since my sophomore or sophomore year. I appreciate.”

After a few relatively steady years in Philadelphia, Maxey has taken off like a rocket this season. He is averaging better than 29 points per game, which is good enough for fourth in the NBA. But he has become more than just a lethal scorer.

The 76ers guard averages nearly seven assists, four rebounds and, perhaps most impressively, two steals per game.

The Philadelphia 76ers (32-26) host the Miami Heat (31-28) on Thursday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena. They come into this game coming off wins against the Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers, and will look to build on their recent momentum.

According to the official injury report, Joel Embiid, who starred in the game against Indiana, is listed as probable as he manages the recovery of his right knee and right calf soreness. The Sixers will already be without Paul George due to the league suspension, making Embiid’s presence vital despite the Miami Heat themselves dealing with a tall bill of injuries.

The Heat lost against the Milwaukee Bucks in their latest encounter but have managed three wins in their last four games.

Embiid can be expected to suit up for an important game for Philadelphia. Embiid recently returned to the floor after missing five consecutive games, posting 27 points, six rebounds and five assists on 11-17 shooting.

The Sixers currently hold the No. 6 seed in the East (the last guaranteed playoff spot), just 1.5 games ahead of the No. 8 seed Heat. Miami won the first meeting in November, meaning a Heat win tonight would clinch the crucial head-to-head tiebreaker for the season series.

In addition to Paul George, who is suspended, the 76ers are confirmed to miss Johnny Brown and Kelly Oubre Jr. for this game, while Marjan Beauchamp is listed as questionable. In comparison, the Heat’s concerns are bigger.

After missing much of February due to a calf injury and knee management, Joel Embiid returned after the All-Star break for the Philadelphia 76ers against the Indiana Pacers, where he scored 27 points in 26 minutes in a 21-point win over the Indiana Pacers.

Does Embiid look 100 percent back to his MVP form? No, he looked like someone who hadn’t played a basketball game since February 7th, but even though it took him a step or two longer to get up and down the court, he still gave Jay Huff and company fits on both ends of the court.

One fan who was particularly impressed by Embiid’s return? Former Villanova Wildcats basketball head coach Jay Wright, who took to social media to celebrate “The Process” for his efficiency and intensity on the court.

“To be out for so long and come back with efficiency and intensity is incredible talent!!” Wright wrote. “Joel Embiid, a unique talent, Sixers.”

To be out for so long and come back with efficiency and intensity is incredible talent!! a unique talent @JoelEmbiid @sixers. https://t.co/rLfnPiLWRK

– Jay Wright (@CoachJayWright) 25 February 2026

The most successful basketball coach in the Greater Philadelphia area this century, Wright has been the apple of 76ers fans’ eyes since his first national championship win on the main line, with his 2022 retirement leading many to believe he will make the jump to the pro level for the first time in his career. While so far, that leap hasn’t been made, the fact that Wright remains a 76ers fan has fans in the comments section urging him to return to the bench in place of Nick Nurse, where he can unlock Embiid’s “efficiency and intensity.”

Will this happen? Only time will tell, but if Embiid continues to play like his efforts against the Pacers, the 76ers could get their own banner before “The Process” joins Wright in retirement.

The Philadelphia 76ers will visit the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night. Joel Embiid is listed as questionable on the NBA’s official injury report. Embiid is dealing with right knee injury management and right calf soreness after missing the team’s last five games.

Of course, injuries have been rampant in the NBA and while the 76ers have had to deal with several big absences, including Paul George’s suspension, the Pacers have had availability issues. Tyrese Haliburton’s absence is further complicated by Pascal Siakam potentially missing the game due to a left wrist injury, according to the official injury report, with several players confirmed to be out for last year’s finalists.

joel embiid injury status vs pacers

Joel Embiid’s status will likely be a game-time decision. Currently sitting at 31-26, the Sixers are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

They recently snapped a four-game skid with a dominant 135-108 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, fueled by Tyrese Maxey’s 39 points and a season-best 56.8% shooting performance from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, the Pacers (15-43) are trying to snap a three-game home losing streak after a tough 134-130 loss to Dallas, despite Pascal Siakam’s 30 points.

When healthy, Embiid is as effective as ever. The former MVP is averaging 26.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, while shooting 49.4% from the field.

He has also performed historically well against Indiana, averaging 31 points and 11 assists in 22 career games against them, his highest scoring average against any Eastern Conference opponent. Joel Embiid played in the Sixers’ last meeting against the Pacers this season on January 19 in Philadelphia and scored a game-high 30 points.

费城 76 人队的乔尔·恩比德多个赛季一直在与膝盖伤势作斗争，自上赛季开始以来总共只打了 50 场比赛。在 2024 年 1 月接受左小月板手术后，这位 2023 年 MVP 克服了一些困难，包括 2024 年奥运会，期间他在美国队中发挥了关键作用，带着金牌回归。

德鲁·汉伦（Drew Hanlen）被广泛认为是 NBA 最好的技能训练师，他最近透露了恩比德在不断因伤缺席的情况下所表现出的坚定决心的细节。

“人们没有意识到，所以奥运会发生了。显然，人们知道他在奥运会上拖着自己的脚步，但这对他来说是一个真正获胜的机会。你知道，他赢得了一枚金牌。当然，他们是一支充满活力的球队，但他们不会赢得那枚金牌，在与塞尔维亚的比赛中没有他，你知道吗？”汉伦在 ClutchPoints 的 X 上发表的一篇文章中提到了奥运会半决赛，美国队以 95-91 获胜。

“我们回到实验室。他说，‘我又找回了自己的感觉。’”下一场比赛他得到了 39 分，从那以后他的场均得分接近 30 分。这就是他的表现。”

— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) 2026 年 2 月 18 日

汉伦透露，恩比德只是决定回归后不进行技能训练，而是优先考虑自己的健康。

“在那之后，一直到这个赛季，赛季中期，我想就像是12月10日，我们一次都没有训练过。这个人，我比其他人训练的次数都多，因为他痴迷于篮球，但是他，他无法训练，因为他就像：“你知道吗？我必须保持健康，”汉伦说。

恩比德仍然受到上场时间的限制，在被迫照顾膝盖后，由于缺乏篮球训练，他的表现实际上很挣扎。汉伦将这项幕后工作视为他在当前竞选第一阶段陷入困境的原因之一。

德鲁·汉伦声称恩比德“感觉又找回了自己”。

汉伦接着声称恩比德被迫利用 NBA 比赛作为恢复体形的手段，最终决定像“老派乔尔”一样坚持下去。

“我记得有一次他说：‘嘿，我知道我不应该这么做，’但是，他说：‘上来，我们得弄清楚我的跳投。我的中频关闭了，但从来没有关闭过。我的三分球已经断了，但从来没有断过。”所以我们做了一次锻炼，一次锻炼，我们，就像，磨练，就像，老派乔尔，就像，一个半小时，可能不应该这样做，但就像我们回到实验室一样，他就像，“我又感觉像我自己了。”他说。

这让他回到了以前的水平，这显然也让汉伦深信不疑。

“下一场比赛，他得到了三十九分，从那以后，他的场均得分大约是三十分。这就是他的表现，”他透露道。

随着76人队也经历了保罗·乔治的25场禁赛，恩比德变得更加重要，因为他们试图延续目前的30胜24负的战绩。本赛季还远未结束，尽管恩比德最近缺席，但汉伦的说法无疑给了球迷足够的乐观理由。

Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers has battled knee injuries for several seasons, playing just 50 games overall since the start of last campaign. After undergoing left meniscus surgery in January 2024, the 2023 MVP has navigated some tough times, including the 2024 Olympics, during which he played a key role for Team USA and returned with a gold medal.

And well, Drew Hanlen, widely considered the best skills coach in the NBA, recently detailed the determination shown by Embiid despite his recent absences due to injury.

“People don’t realize, that’s why the Olympics happen. Obviously, people know he was, you know, dragging himself through the Olympics, but this was his chance to actually win. You know, he won a gold medal. Of course, they were a loaded team, but they couldn’t have won the gold medal without him in the Serbia game, you know?” Hanlen said, referencing the Olympic semifinals, which Team USA won 95-91, according to a post on X by ClutchPoints.

“We came back to the lab. And she said, ‘I feel like me again.’ And in the next game his score was 39, and since then he has averaged 30. That’s so good.”

– ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) 18 February 2026

Hanlen revealed that Embiid decided not to do skill workouts after returning, instead prioritizing his health.

“After that, until this season, mid-season, I think it was like December 10th, we didn’t work out once. This is a guy I’ve worked out with more times than anyone else because he’s obsessed with basketball, but he couldn’t work out because he was like: “You know what? I have to get my health back,” Hanlen said.

Embiid, who is still on a minutes restriction, is effectively struggling due to the lack of basketball workouts after being forced to take care of his knee. Hanlen cited this behind-the-scenes work as one of the reasons he struggled in the first half of the current campaign.

Drew Hanlen claims Embiid “feels like himself again.”

Hanlen claimed Embiid was forced to use NBA games as a means of getting back into shape, ultimately deciding to grind it out like “old school Joel”.

“And I remember at one point he was like: “Hey, I know I really shouldn’t do this,” but, like, he was like: “Come on, we’ve got to figure out my jump shot. My mid-range is closed, which never closes. Mine is three closed, which never closes. And so we did a workout, a workout, and we did, like old school Joel, for an hour and a half, probably shouldn’t have done it, but it was like we were back in the lab, and he’s like, “I feel like me again.” He said.

This returned him to his previous level, which apparently convinced Hanlein as well.

“And the next game, he had forty-nine, and since then, his average is, like, thirty. That’s how good he is,” he revealed.

With the 76ers returning following Paul George’s 25-game suspension, Embiid becomes even more important as they attempt to build on their current 30-24 record. The season isn’t over yet, and despite Embiid’s latest absence, Hanlen’s claims certainly give fans plenty of reason for optimism.

New Orleans Pelicans rookie Derrick Queen has been one of the pleasant surprises this season with his impressive all-around play. After a slow start, he has learned to adjust and has become a consistent performer for the Pelicans.

Queen was named as one of the participants in the Rising Stars at All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles. This is a major accomplishment for the 21-year-old center, as the NBA has acknowledged his hard work and talent.

While Queen has certainly held his own against the giants, he admitted that his welcome moments in the NBA were against two established big men.

“I got cooked twice. By Embiid and by AD (Anthony Davis),” Queens said in a video posted by Yahoo. game.

Queen didn’t point to a game where he was embarrassed by Embiid, but it was certainly fresh in his mind, as the Pelicans and 76ers had just faced each other on Feb. 1.

Queen had nine points on 3-of-8 shooting, six rebounds and two assists. Embiid, on the other hand, had a game-high 40 points on 13-of-27 shooting, 11 points, four assists and two blocks.

The Pelicans and Mavericks have met three times this season, with Davis scoring only once and scoring a game-high 35 points on 16 of 28 shooting. He also grabbed 17 rebounds and two assists. Queen was not too weak with 19 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals.

The Atlanta Hawks selected Queen, who starred for Maryland, with the 13th overall pick. He was traded to the Pelicans on draft day in exchange for Asa Newell and a first-round pick.

費城 76 人隊週六在 Xfinity Mobile Arena 球場以 124-114 擊敗新奧爾良鵜鶘隊，在明星中鋒喬爾·恩比德 (Joel Embiid) 的出色表現下，度過了一個充滿挑戰的夜晚。這是76人隊第一場沒有前鋒保羅·喬治的比賽，他在開賽前幾小時因違反NBA禁毒政策而被停賽25場。喬治的停賽讓球場上出現了空檔，但恩比德在 2000-01 賽季費城傳奇人物阿倫·​​艾弗森和球隊著名的東部聯盟冠軍球隊面前上場，帶著權威站了出來。

恩比德在76人隊的第12個NBA賽季和第10個賽季，在39分鐘內得到40分、11個籃板、4次助攻、2次蓋帽和1次搶斷。他全場27投13中，其中三分球5投3中，罰球14投11中。這是他本賽季第一次在比賽中拿下40分。

當晚對恩比德來說是一個溫馨的時刻。當他的父親在獲勝後接受采訪時，他五歲的兒子阿瑟和父親一起出現在球場上，天真地問道：

“你得到了多少錢？”

恩比德臉上洋溢著燦爛的笑容，自豪地回應道：

“我有40個！”

喬爾·恩比德的兒子阿瑟：“你得到了多少錢？”

喬爾·恩比德對兒子說：“我得到了 40 分！”

76人隊得到了他們的支持者的大力支持。小凱利·烏布雷拿下19分、10個籃板和4次助攻的兩雙數據。泰瑞斯·馬克西貢獻 18 分、8 次助攻和 5 個籃板，而 VJ Edgecombe 貢獻 15 分和 5 次助攻。二年級後衛賈里德·麥凱恩也得到12分，其中4個三分球並提供1次助攻。多米尼克·巴洛和特倫登·沃特福德提供了次要得分和防守支持。費城隊三分球36投17中，籃板球以52-46擊敗新奧爾良隊。

鵜鶘隊本賽季戰績為13勝38負，在西部排名第14位，在薩迪克·貝的帶領下，他拿下34分和6個籃板。 76人隊的防守目光限制了錫安·威廉姆森，他六次投籃得到11分和5個籃板。特雷·墨菲三世 (Trey Murphy III) 拿下 19 分和 9 個籃板，替補出場的耶利米·菲爾斯 (Jeremiah Fears) 拿下 12 分。

與此同時，費城隊本賽季戰績提升至27勝21負，排名東部第六。 76人隊已經取得三連勝，並希望在周一客場對陣洛杉磯快船隊的比賽中延續他們的連勝紀錄。

週六晚上，費城 76 人隊對陣新奧爾良鵜鶘隊的比賽中，喬爾·恩比德在阿倫·艾弗森面前展現了統治力。

恩比德在 76 人隊的職業生涯已進入第 12 個賽季，這也是他作為現役球員的第 10 個年頭。繼 2000 年代初期的艾弗森時代之後，他幫助球隊度過了現代最好的時光。

說到艾弗森，這位球隊傳奇人物以及令人難忘的 2000-01 賽季陣容都到場了。費城專門舉辦了一場活動來慶祝艾弗森和當年的球隊，他們進入了 2001 年 NBA 總決賽，並在第一場比賽中取得了標誌性的勝利，擊敗了洛杉磯湖人隊。艾弗森還在那個賽季獲得了 MVP 獎，進一步增強了他在社區中的傳奇地位的吸引力。

恩比德確保他的表現能讓艾弗森和他的團隊自豪地見證。在上場39分鐘的時間裡，他得到40分、11個籃板、4次助攻、2次蓋帽和1次搶斷。他全場27投13中，其中三分線外5投3中，罰球線14投11中。這是他本賽季第一場拿下40分的比賽。

76人隊喬爾·恩比德如何對陣鵜鶘隊

喬爾·恩比德為阿倫·艾弗森和球隊帶來了2001年特別的夜晚，帶領76人隊以124-114戰勝鵜鶘隊，這是一場精彩的表演。

兩隊在比賽的大部分時間裡都表現得很有競爭力，整個晚上都在交換三分球。儘管如此，費城隊在第二節仍表現出色，以 36-21 擊敗新奧爾良隊。事實證明，這就是差異，主隊取得了勝利。

費城隊有五名球員在這場胜利中得分上雙，其中包括恩比德。小凱利·烏布雷 (Kelly Oubre Jr.) 也拿下 19 分、10 個籃板和 4 次助攻。他總共13投7中，其中在市中心7投3中，在慈善地帶4投2中。泰瑞斯·馬克西（Tyrese Maxey）拿下18分和8次助攻，VJ埃奇科姆（VJ Edgecombe）貢獻15分和5次助攻，賈里德·麥凱恩（Jared McCain）貢獻12分和2個籃板。
