Joel Embiid Injury Report: Will the 76ers star center play tonight against New York Knicks?

The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the New York Knicks tonight at the Wells Fargo Center. Both teams collided a day ago at the same venue, where the Knicks came out on top with a scoreline of 125-119. While Paul George and Tyrese Maxey stood out for the 76ers, the absence of Joel Embiid eventually proved to be too costly for the home side. So, will the 76ers yet again have to compete without the reigning MVP or is the star Center ready for the challenge against the Knicks?

Joel Embiid Injury Report

According to the injury report released by the Philadelphia 76ers ahead of the match against the New York Knicks, Joel Embiid may potentially miss out again as he is listed as "questionable" in the report due to a foot injury. Embiid hasn't featured in the last six matches of the 76ers, and the impact of his absence is visible as Philadelphia has only won once in the last six games. The team desperately needs the Cameroonian to come out of the injury and deliver. However, he is not likely to return soon.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Joel Embiid has suffered yet another injury setback and will receive treatment to address swelling in his left knee. He will undergo reevaluation in the next 7-10 days.

Aside from Embiid's status, the Injury Report carries the update of 7 other players. Besides Joel Embiid, Jared McCain and Kenyon Martin Jr. will also miss out on the game against the Knicks.
