Despite battling a sinus fracture and a left foot sprain, Joel Embiid will start for the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Philadelphia 76ers were facing the possibility of missing several players due to a lengthy injury report. Joel Embiid was listed as questionable for the Sixers, as he's battling both a sinus fracture and a left foot sprain, according to the official NBA injury report. Despite these setbacks, Embiid will be in the starting lineup for the Sixers on Saturday. Embiid has had a challenging season, dealing with multiple injuries.
He missed time after surgery last season and returned for only four games before a seven-game absence due to knee issues. He again made a brief return before suffering a sinus fracture after being hit in the face during a game. While initially ruled out for a week, he returned after one game. Embiid's minutes have been increasing, playing 14 minutes against the San Antonio Spurs and 30 minutes against the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day, scoring 27 points and nine rebounds in the win
