Joel Embiid injury status against Blazers

With Joel Embiid being questionable on the injury report, it’s hard to say whether or not he’ll suit up. Embiid was always on the injury report these days, which could evolve into him playing against the Blazers. Considering his questionable status for Monday’s game, Embiid could prove to be a game-time decision.

Ahead of the final two games before the All-Star break, the 76ers could choose to trade him for Monday’s game. The 76ers will host the Knicks on Wednesday, which will be their last game before the break. If Embiid doesn’t face the Blazers, Wednesday’s matchup will be his next chance to compete for Philly.

The 76ers have won six of their last seven games, including wins against the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers during their four-game road trip. At the same time, the Blazers hope to extend their winning streak to three with a pair of wins against the Grizzlies without All-Star Danny Awdia.

Avdia is on the verge of missing his fifth straight game for the Blazers. However, he could return for Monday’s game against the 76ers. Whether Danny Avdia plays tonight against the 76ers has a 50/50 answer as to his chances of returning from his back injury.
