76ers' Joel Embiid: Will play Tuesday

Embiid (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

As expected, Embiid will shake off his probable tag due to an illness and return from a two-game absence. The star big man has appeared in four games in December, during which he has averaged 22.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks over 29.3 minutes per contest. He has shot just 37.7 percent from the field during that span.
