Embiid's availability has long been an issue for the franchise, though there's hope he could return as soon as Wednesday.

The Philadelphia 76ers have yet to see superstar big man Joel Embiid on the floor to begin the 2024-25 season. The big fella has been working his way back from a knee issue that has bothered him and sidelined him for two months in the 2023-24 season.

Joel Embiid is set to miss his fourth straight game to start the regular season. The Sixers say there isn’t a new injury or any setback. So, what the hell is going on?

Joel Embiid and Paul George will each miss a fifth straight game with knee injuries when the Sixers host Memphis on Saturday.

Here is the full injury report for Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers as they take on the Los Angeles Clippers on the road.

“Joel Embiid consistently points to the birth of his son, Arthur, as the major inflection point in his career,” Hayes wrote. “He often says that he wants to be great to leave a legacy for the boy named after his little brother. … In order to be great at your job, you first have to show up for work. Embiid has been great at just the opposite.”

The Philadelphia 76ers are off to a tough start in the 2024-25 season as they sit at 1-5 following a loss to the Phoenix Suns on Monday. They have lost three in a row and are looking to get on track amid a slew of injuries and an off-the-court drama issue involving Joel Embiid.
