Joel Embiid previously played and averaged 27.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in the last three games. Despite being listed as questionable for tonight's game, indications lean towards him playing, having had two complete days to rest.
They will have another two-day break before facing the Magic on Friday. Currently, they enjoy a five-game winning streak and stand only one game behind the Pacers, thus avoiding the play-in tournament is plausible.
With the season nearing its end, the 76ers are currently ranked 14th in offensive rating, a number Embiid's return is likely to boost before the start of the postseason. They boast of being second in both turnover percentage and free throw percentages, demonstrating ball security and stationing fourth in attempts per competition.
Despite a severe double-digit deficit towards the end of the first half of their previous match against the San Antonio Spurs, they managed to secure victory with a score of 133-126. Tyrese Maxey delivered an exceptional performance, scoring 52 points, along with seven assists and five rebounds.
In the previous match, while Joel Embiid rested during the second back-to-back night after being sidelined for over two months due to a knee injury, Maxey stepped up and led Philadelphia to victory.
