• 76ers' Joel Embiid: Dip in usage possible

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Embiid no longer projects to carry the same offensive burden after Philadelphia added LeBron James and Jaylen Brown while also bringing in Anfernee Simons, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and rookie Labaron Philon, according to Paul Hudrick of Liberty Ballers. Although his scoring volume could dip slightly, the additional star power should allow Embiid to conserve energy and focus more on efficiency and defense, helping preserve his elite fantasy value when healthy. As always, Embiid's availability will be the biggest question mark given his lengthy injury history.

• 76ers' Joel Embiid: Valiant effort in defeat

  05/10/2026 • By RotoWire

  Embiid logged 24 points (8-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 144-114 loss to New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Embiid was a bright spot for the 76ers in Sunday's season-ending defeat, as he shot a perfect 8-for-8 from the floor. Embiid was clearly laboring throughout the second-round series, missing Game 2 and failing to produce at the level he did in the opening round against Boston. The star big man averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 blocks across 29.0 minutes per contest in three Eastern Conference Semifinals appearances.

  Embiid (hip) is available for Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks. Embiid will shake off his probable tag due to right hip soreness and suit up in Sunday's do-or-die matchup. The star big man has struggled through two appearances in the series, during which he has averaged 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 blocks while shooting 35.7 percent from the field in 30.0 minutes per contest.

• 76ers' Joel Embiid: Likely to play in Game 4

  05/09/2026 • By RotoWire

  Embiid (hip) is listed as probable for Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks. Embiid was unable to play in Game 2 due to an ankle injury. He returned for Game 3 on Friday and played 35 minutes in a 108-94 loss, and while he's now dealing with a hip issue, the injury doesn't appear to be severe enough for him to miss Sunday's do-or-die contest. Embiid has averaged 24.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.0 blocks over 34.3 minutes per game across six postseason contests.

• 76ers' Joel Embiid: Logs 34 minutes in return

  Embiid accumulated 18 points (7-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 35 minutes during Friday's 108-94 loss to New York in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. After missing Game 2 due to injury, Embiid returned to action Friday. While his numbers have been fine since returning in Game 4 against the Celtics, it is clear that Embiid is functioning at well below 100 percent. In six postseason appearances, he has recorded just six blocks while grabbing double-digit boards on only three occasions. Philadelphia now trails 3-0, with Game 4 scheduled for Sunday.
