Embiid (knee) is listed as available for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.
Embiid was initially listed as doubtful for Thursday's game but was bumped to questionable after going through shootaround, and now, he has been cleared to play. This is the first half of a back-to-back set, and given Embiid's history with his knees, fantasy managers can expect him to sit out Friday's matchup in Milwaukee. In his only appearance since Nov. 8, Embiid posted 18 points (6-14 FG), four rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes during a 142-134 loss to Atlanta.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Upgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Embiid (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Embiid was previously listed as doubtful, but the big man may attempt to give it a go. Paul George (knee) has been ruled out, so that may have factored into the decision. Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so Embiid playing in one of these games would be the best-case scenario for his fantasy managers with his restrictions.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Doubtful for Thursday
Rotowire
Embiid (knee) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Philadelphia gave Embiid the night off for right knee injury management Tuesday against the Wizards, and he'll likely sit for a second straight time Thursday. It's possible the 76ers are preparing for him to play in the second leg of this back-to-back set Friday against the Bucks, but nothing is set in stone given his troublesome injury history. Andre Drummond is likely going to be relied upon heavily Thursday.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Season-high 30 minutes in return
Rotowire
Embiid (knee) registered 18 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 30 minutes in Sunday's 142-134 double-overtime loss to the Hawks.
Making just his seventh appearance of the season after missing the 76ers' prior nine games due to right knee injury management, Embiid surprisingly ended up seeing his most minutes of the campaign. The 76ers may have planned to keep Embiid closer to his season-long average of 23.3 minutes per game heading into Sunday, but the two extra periods likely contributed to him seeing some extra run. The 76ers did still elect to hold Embiid out for the entire second overtime period, and the veteran center remains likely to have his minutes monitored carefully moving forward, even though he's ostensibly healthy again. Embiid is also a good bet to continue sitting out one half of back-to-back sets, with the 76ers' next one coming Thursday (versus Warriors) and Friday (at Bucks).

76ers' Joel Embiid: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Embiid (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
