Embiid (rest) is out for Saturday's exhibition against the Celtics, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Modest performance Thursday
Embiid closed with six points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 preseason loss to Brooklyn.
After sitting out the first preseason game, Embiid made his first appearance for the new-look 76ers, turning in an indifferent performance. Although he managed to chip in across the board, he struggled from the field and was careless with the ball, racking up a team-high eight turnovers. It was certainly encouraging to see him suiting up for a preseason game, indicating that he should be ready to go for opening night.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Will have maintenance plan
Embiid's workload will continue to be closely managed during the 2026-27 season, head coach Nick Nurse said Tuesday, according to Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com.
Nurse said Philadelphia is already working through plans for Embiid and LeBron James on back-to-backs while mapping out their workloads for the next month. Embiid entered training camp without restrictions and was a full participant in Tuesday's opening practice, but the 76ers' early planning indicates they'll remain cautious with the veteran center despite his encouraging health entering the season.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Looking good ahead of camp
LeBron James said Monday that Embiid put significant work into his body, game and mental preparation during the offseason, Kyle Neubeck of PHLY Sports reports.
Embiid enters training camp following an encouraging offseason after appearing in just 38 regular-season games in 2025-26. The 32-year-old center has dealt with persistent durability concerns in recent years, but Philadelphia has consistently expressed optimism about his health this summer, and James' comments provide another positive indication regarding Embiid's preparation for the upcoming campaign.
