Overview
- Philadelphia’s initial Monday injury report lists Embiid as probable with right knee injury management and a recent illness after he missed the last two games.
- Head coach Nick Nurse said Embiid practiced, looked better, and reported feeling good, with observers noting he wore a grey jersey typically used by the second unit.
- Dominick Barlow and Quentin Grimes are questionable due to illnesses, while Kelly Oubre Jr. (left LCL sprain) and Trendon Watford (left adductor strain) remain out.
- Nurse said Oubre completed his most rigorous individual workout since his Nov. 14 knee injury, though no return timeline was provided.
- The report did not include Paul George; Tuesday marks the Sixers’ final home game of 2025 before a five-game trip that opens Friday in Chicago.
