Embiid was again putting up MVP-caliber — and historic — numbers before his meniscus injury, averaging a career-high 35.3 points per game to go along with 11.3 rebounds, and a career-best 5.7 assists.
The reigning NBA Most Valuable Player has been officially upgraded to questionable to play Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, another positive step in his long-anticipated return after a two-month absence following knee surgery.
That status update also occurred just before Nick Nurse’s pregame news conference, when he said he expected Embiid would have a minutes restriction if he did play Tuesday.
