The Philadelphia 76ers, who are 7th in the Eastern Conference, will play the 9th in the Western Conference Memphis Grizzlies, next. The 76ers are coming off a 104-129 loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder to go 16-14. The team played without star Joel Embiid, and curiosity around his availability against the Grizzlies has risen.
Is Joel Embiid playing against Grizzlies? Latest on 76ers star
Joel Embiid is listed as questionable for the Philadelphia 76ers’ match against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, December 29, 2025. The 31-year-old is recovering from a right ankle sprain and right knee injury.
The 76ers’ center played only 32 minutes against the Chicago Bulls last Friday and scored 31 points on 10-for-19 field goal shooting. The franchise lost that game as well with a score of 102-109.
Embiid is dealing with a right ankle sprain while also managing soreness in his right knee. Following his knee issue, the player has been ruled out for multiple games this season. On the other hand, the Grizzlies will also be entering the match without their 100% fit squad.
Brandon Clarke and Ty Jerome are out on Tuesday due to calf injuries, while Jock Landale is questionable due to the same issue. Additionally, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be out due to a hamstring injury, Zach Edey due to an ankle injury, John Konchar because of a thumb injury, Scotty Pippen Jr for a toe injury, and Vince Williams Jr. for a knee injury.
