Initially, it was unclear whether Embiid would get the green light to play before the regular season wraps up., it seems like he'll have the opportunity to dust off and prep before the intense competition for the Larry O'Brien trophy kicks off.
Although the 76ers have marked Embiid out for the game on Tuesday, it's believed that his comeback is just around the corner.
Media reports on Monday hinted at the possibility of Embiid making his much-awaited return against the Thunder. However, he was officially ruled off a few hours later.
