Joel Embiid

Joel Emiid could sign an extension worth $193.5 million on a three-year deal with the 76ers.

Fantasy Impact

Embiid is currently signed with the 76ers through the 2024-2025 season with a player option for the 2025-2026 season. Locking Embiid in for another two years would be vital for the Sixers in the pursuit of their first championship in over 40 years.

Joel Embiid is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

Embiid is no longer on the injury report due to migraines as he was ahead of Game 5. He should be good to go as the 76ers look to once again avoid elimination.

Joel Embiid (migraine) was not present at Philadelphia's shootaround on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Embiid is listed as questionable to play on Tuesday because of a knee injury and a migraine. He missed the team's shootaround on Tuesday morning, which is a less than ideal sign for his availability. The team will need him to be available if they want any chance of making a comeback from down 3-1 in their series against the Knicks.

Joel Embiid has been listed as questionable for Game 5 versus the Knicks due to left knee injury recovery.

Fantasy Impact

Embiid was also listed as questionable for the previous four matchups in this series, but has yet to miss a game. Since this is an elimination game, it would be a surprise if he did not attempt to play. If he is unable to suit up, Paul Reed and Nicolas Batum would likely see increased minutes.

Joel Embiid has been dealing with a mild case of Bell's Palsey for the past week. He began experiencing symptoms against the play-in against Miami, but kept the condition under wraps until Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact

This announcement came after the Sixers' Game 3 victory against the Knicks. Embiid has reportedly been receiving treatment for the condition for the past week, and has not missed any time due to the condition so far. While it is not expected for him to miss any time moving forward, it is a situation worth monitoring.
