Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers)
November 2025
Embiid was ruled out against Boston with right knee soreness and is undergoing evaluation. The former MVP has a history of knee issues, including last season’s arthroscopy that curtailed his campaign after 19 games. Philadelphia will lean on Tyrese Maxey’s usage and frontcourt committee minutes, keeping Embiid day-to-day pending imaging and response. Load management guardrails remain central to preserving his availability later in the season.
