Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Joel Embiid (hip) is probable for Monday’s game against the Knicks.

Embiid showed up on Sunday’s injury report with a hip contusion, likely sustained in Game 7 of the Sixers’ victory over the Celtics. The former league MVP got a late start to the postseason due to recovery from a late-season appendicitis surgery. Embiid averaged 28.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists in four games in the first-round win over Boston. He’ll look to have similar dominance against the Knicks to begin the Eastern Conference Semifinals, should he be available to play on Monday.
Paul George

PHI Forward #8

Paul George finished Saturday’s Game 7 win over the Celtics with 13 points (5-of-10 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers.

Added to the 76ers’ injury report early Saturday afternoon due to an illness, George logged 42 minutes in Game 7. While the final stat line wasn’t elite, his two-way abilities were a factor in the Game 7 victory that should not be overlooked. Solid defensively throughout, George shot 22-of-40 from three in the series. Philadelphia will need steady production from George on both ends of the floor in their second-round series againt the Knicks, which begins on Monday.
VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77

VJ Edgecombe tallied 23 points (8-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, four assists and five three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 7 win over the Celtics.

Edgecombe gave the 76ers vital contributions on both ends of the floor to help get the team into the second round. The rookie knocked down five three-pointers on Saturday, and his third-quarter defense on Boston’s Derrick White was also critical. After scoring 19 points in the first half, White was limited to two points in the third quarter, with Edgecombe taking on that assignment. His ability on both ends of the floor will also be important in the 76ers’ second-round series against the Knicks, which opens on Monday.
Tyrese Maxey

PHI Guard #0

Tyrese Maxey recorded 30 points (11-of-18 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two three-pointers in Saturday’s Game 7 win over the Celtics.

Maxey’s third 30-point game of the series helped the 76ers become the most recent team to erase a 3-1 deficit. The 76ers’ guard had a big night offensively, shooting over 50 percent from the field and dishing out seven assists. And with Joel Embiid hobbled late, Maxey scored eight of his 30 points in the final two minutes to help get Philadelphia over the finish line. Next up for the 76ers are the Knicks, with Game 1 scheduled for Monday night in New York.
Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Joel Embiid finished Saturday’s Game 7 win over the Celtics with 34 points (12-of-26 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), 12 rebounds, six assists, one block and one three-pointer.

Embiid recorded three double-doubles in the final four games of this series, helping Philadelphia eliminate Boston from the postseason for the first time since 1982. Boston called on Jaylen Brown to defend Embiid at times, with Neemias Queta providing the help, and the former league MVP managed to put up 34 points. There was an injury scare late, as teammate Tyrese Maxey fell into Embiid’s left knee, which led to him watching the final 20 seconds from the bench. Philadelphia won’t have much time to rest, as they visit the Knicks for Game 1 of that series on Monday.
Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Joel Embiid (appendicitis) is available for Saturday’s Game 7 against the Celtics.

The 76ers will be at full strength for Saturday’s series decider, as Embiid has been upgraded from probable to available. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting center, leaving limited minutes for Andre Drummond and Adem Bona off the bench.
Paul George

PHI Forward #8

Paul George (illness) is available for Saturday’s Game 7 against the Celtics.

Added to the 76ers’ injury report early Saturday afternoon, George has been given the all-clear to play in the series decider. And with the Celtics not having Jayson Tatum (knee), this sets up to be an excellent opportunity for George and the 76ers to complete their rally from a 3-1 series deficit.
Paul George

PHI Forward #8

Paul George (illness) is probable for Saturday’s Game 7 against the Celtics.

George was added to the injury report Saturday afternoon with an illness. While it’s not a great sign that the 36-year-old small forward woke up sick on the day of Game 7, he’s still listed as probable. Still likely to play, George had 23 points in the 76ers’ win in Game 6 on Thursday.
Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Joel Embiid (appendicitis) is probable for Saturday’s Game 7 against the Celtics.

Embiid is on the 76ers’ initial injury report for Game 7, but it would be stunning if the 7-footer were not on the court Saturday night. He finished Game 6 two assists shy of a triple-double as Philadelphia extended the series. Look for Embiid to take on his usual heavy workload as the 76ers look to beat the Celtics in a playoff series for the first time since 1982.
Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Joel Embiid finished Thursday’s win over the Celtics with 19 points (6-of-18 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one three-pointer.

In his third game back on the floor, Embiid put forth another solid performance. He didn’t shoot the ball efficiently but still nearly found his way to the 20-point mark. The former league MVP made up for his inefficient scoring with good work on the glass and tremendous work as a facilitator. His balanced performance nearly led to a triple-double, which helped the Sixers force a Game 7.
