Joel Embiid Injury: Iffy for Wednesday

Updated on January 6, 2026 at 3:41pm

Embiid (knee, ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Washington.

The 76ers are considering giving Embiid a maintenance day for left knee injury management, though the star big man is also dealing with right ankle soreness. If he needs to sit out Wednesday, Andre Drummond would make sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option while Adem Bona handles backup center duties.
