76ers' Joel Embiid: Claims questionable tag Wednesday
Embiid (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks.
Embiid has been tabbed as questionable for the last three contests, playing in the first two before sitting out Monday against the Nuggets. The MVP candidate's status should be updated come game day, with Dewayne Dedmon presumably sliding back to the bench if Embiid gets the green light. Given the tight race for the MVP award, Embiid will likely take the floor as often as possible during the stretch run.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Downgraded to out
Embiid (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Nuggets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Embiid attempted to participate in the 76ers' morning shootaround, but the team opted to shut him down as a precaution. The MVP candidates' absence will mark his first missed game since March 1, but there's been no indication that the issue will cause him to miss multiple contests. Embiid's next chance to suit up will arrive Wednesday against Dallas.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Limited during shootaround
Embiid (calf), who's officially listed as questionable for Monday's matchup in Denver, participated in parts of the 76ers' morning shootaround, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Embiid continues to battle right calf soreness but hasn't missed a game since March 1. Given Monday's matchup isn't part of a back-to-back, it'd be surprising to see the MVP candidate sidelined, but fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm Embiid's availability ahead of the 9:30 p.m. ET tip before locking in their lineups. If Embiid is downgraded to out, Paul Reed and Dewayne Dedmon would be candidates for increased roles in the frontcourt.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Questionable Monday
Embiid is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to right calf tightness.
Embiid has been on a tear recently, averaging 34.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 33.4 minutes per game over his last 13 appearances. However, he's apparently dealing with a calf issue after posting a double-double Saturday against the Suns, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Monday. If he's sidelined, Paul Reed and Dewayne Dedmon would likely see increased run in the frontcourt.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Double-doubles despite loss
Embiid racked up 28 points (8-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 loss to the Suns.
Embiid didn't have his best shooting performance Saturday, but he can still deliver excellent stat lines even if he's not playing at his best. This was Embiid's fifth double-double since the beginning of March, and he's averaging a robust stat line of 34.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.2 blocks per game during that stretch.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Listed questionable Saturday
Embiid sports a questionable designation for Saturday's game versus the Suns due to right calf tightness.
It's unclear if Embiid is truly dealing with an injury concern or if he's potentially just in line for a rest day in the second game of a back-to-back set. The Sixers should update his status prior to the 10 p.m. ET opening tipoff, with P.J. Tucker likely sliding to the five if he can't go and Jalen McDaniels (hip) potentially slotting into the starting unit if available.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Stellar performance not enough
Embiid (calf) produced 46 points (13-23 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 19-22 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 120-112 loss to the Warriors.
Embiid dominated the Warriors' frontcourt all game, but it wasn't enough, as the Warriors' three-point shooting outpaced the 76ers' offense. The MVP candidate left Philadelphia's previous contest at halftime due to a calf injury, but he showed no signs of any limitations en route to his highest-scoring outing since Jan. 28. Across 12 March appearances, Embiid is averaging 35.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.0 steals with 61/36/84 shooting splits.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Starting against Warriors
Embiid (calf) is starting against the Warriors on Friday.
Embiid was held out of the second half of Wednesday's game as a precaution, and he was trending in the right direction prior to this update by going through the morning shootaround. Look for Embiid's usage to be through the roof again with James Harden (Achilles) sitting.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Participates in shootaround
Embiid (calf) took part in shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Warriors, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Embiid is listed as questionable for Friday's game due to a calf injury that kept him out of the second half of Wednesday's win. His participation in shootaround is a good sign, but Embiid's official availability likely won't be known until closer to the 10:00 p.m. ET tipoff.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Officially questionable
Embiid (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Golden State.
Embiid played in only half of Wednesday's blowout win over the Bulls after experiencing mild right calf tightness and was previously expected to play Friday before being tabbed questionable. With Friday's contest the opening leg of a back-to-back set, the 76ers could opt to give Embiid the night off. However, Philadelphia is just three games back of No. 1 seed in the East and has the Warriors, Suns, Nuggets and Mavericks upcoming, so they could be incentivized to play the reigning MVP runner-up. If he misses Friday's tilt, Paul Reed would likely step into the starting lineup.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Should play Friday
Embiid experienced mild right calf tightness during Wednesday's 116-91 win over the Bulls but is expected to play in Friday's game against Golden State, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.
After posting 12 points (5-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block in 16 minutes in the first two quarters of Wednesday's contest, Embiid didn't play in the second half of the contest, with the 76ers' 76-48 halftime lead initially believed to be the main reason behind his absence. However, the team revealed afterward that Embiid was dealing with a legitimate health concern, albeit one that seems minor. Even so, fantasy managers will want to track Embiid's status closely leading up to Friday's 10 p.m. ET tipoff at Golden State, a game that marks the front end of a back-to-back set for the Sixers.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Sitting remainder of game
Embiid won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Bulls due to the "score differential," Austin Krell of USA Today reports.
Embiid exited Wednesday's game at halftime with the Sixers leading 76-48. The superstar center had tallied 12 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block in 16 minutes. Embiid should be good to go for Friday's game versus the Warriors, as the 76ers are likely just ensuring their MVP-caliber center doesn't pick up a garbage-time injury in the blowout.
