With a high-stakes clash against the current No. 1 seed Detroit Pistons (7-2) on Sunday, the 76ers have announced on the NBA's official injury report that Embiid will miss the game due to injury management on his left knee.

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid had an epic assist to Justin Edwards in the third quarter of the team's win vs the Raptors.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Trendon Watford recorded the first triple-double of his NBA career in a 130-120 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night. The former Mountain Brook High School standout had 20 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists in his first start of the 2025-26 season.

After the Raptors, the 76ers play again on Sunday against the Detroit Pistons and on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. As McCain works his way back into game shape, the 76ers are likely to continue managing his minutes and workload, avoiding back-to-backs.

Joel Embiid's recent injury is concerning and could significantly impact the Philadelphia 76ers performance this season.

The 76ers’ collapse vs. the Bulls was literally unprecedented in NBA history. Philadelphia blew a 24-point lead to fall 113-111.
