The Philadelphia 76ers listed Joel Embiid as questionable with right knee injury management for their game against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST. He missed the 76ers’ last six games because of the issue. His potential return could be pivotal as Philadelphia aims to get back on track after losing to the Miami Heat 127-117 on Sunday.
The 76ers need Embiid on the floor
The 76ers stayed afloat during Embiid’s absence, winning three of their last six contests. But, Philadelphia’s three losses in this stretch came at the hands of the Heat, Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors – the Eastern Conference’s top three seeds.
