Embiid (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Knicks.
Embiid missed Tuesday's loss to the Suns -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to right ankle injury management. However, the star big man was able to shed his probable tag ahead of Thursday's win over Houston, when he dropped 32 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 46 minutes. It appears likely he will suit up Saturday, and he'll look to remain hot against New York. Over 10 January appearances, Embiid has averaged 27.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists while shooting 53.7 percent from the field in 33.7 minutes per contest.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Triple-doubles in win
Rotowire
Embiid amassed 32 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 46 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Embiid dominated his matchup with Alperen Sengun, regularly bullying him in the post and helping hold the Turkish big man to just 13 points on 5-for-14 shooting. This was the first triple-double of the season for Embiid and the ninth of his career, and it was also the most minutes that Embiid has played in a regular-season game since December of 2022. He's heating up at the right time, so as long as Embiid can stay healthy, he could be on a lot of winning fantasy teams this season.
