Will Joel Embiid suit up for the Sixers on Sunday afternoon in Milwaukee?
Joel Embiid (left knee injury management) is questionable for the Sixers' road contest against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday afternoon, according to the team's initial injury report for the game released on Saturday evening.
Embiid, who has played in only 15 of the Sixers' 51 regular season games this season, returned from a month-long absence due to a foot sprain and knee swelling on Tuesday, posting a 29-point triple-double in 36 strong minutes and leading the Sixers to a victory.
Embiid sat out the team's game on the following night -- he has yet to play in both legs of a back-to-back this season -- and was back in action with no injury designation on Friday night in Detroit. He was at the center of a cataclysmic first half for the Sixers, who were outscored by 29 points by the Cade Cunningham-less Pistons prior to intermission. Embiid scored three points on 1-for-9 shooting in that first half, but scored 20 points in the third quarter, finishing the game with 23 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
Guerschon Yabusele, who missed Friday's game due to soreness in his right knee which has bothered him off and on for nearly a month, is probable to play in Milwaukee.
