76ers' Joel Embiid: Practices Monday
Embiid (knee) practiced Monday, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
Early Sunday, coach Nick Nurse said Embiid was expected to play in the regular-season finale against the Nets, barring a setback, and then the reigning MVP was ruled out after going through pre-game warmups, sparking pessimistic speculation. However, Nurse clarified before the matinee tipoff that Embiid's absence was considered a precautionary measure, and the big man's return to practice Monday confirms that notion. Embiid will likely still appear on Philadelphia's injury report for Wednesday's Play-In matchup against the Heat, but he's trending in the right direction. The 76ers have won eight straight games, including five consecutive with Embiid in the lineup.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Expected to play Sunday
Coach Nick Nurse said Embiid (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Nets, barring a setback, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Embiid continues to ramp up following a lengthy surgery-related absence and will likely suit up for the sixth time over Philadelphia's last seven contests. Over his past two appearances, the reigning MVP has compiled 69 points, 24 rebounds, 15 assists, three steals and three blocks while playing 34.0 minutes per game.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Another double-double Friday
Embiid closed with 32 points (10-23 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 32 minutes during Friday's 125-113 win over the Magic.
Embiid recorded his 30th double-double of the season Friday, and he reached that mark for the third straight game. There was a scare in the second quarter when Embiid went to the locker room after awkwardly landing on his recently repaired left knee, but he was able to return for the second half. The 76ers have now won seven straight games, and a win in the regular-season finale Sunday against the Nets could catapult Philadelphia into the top six in the Eastern Conference, which would allow them to avoid the NBA Play-In Tournament.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Fills stat sheet vs. Detroit
Embiid notched 37 points (12-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and three steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 120-102 win over the Pistons.
Embiid returned from a one-game absence in style, and the reigning MVP was two assists shy from registering his third triple-double of the season Tuesday. The 76ers were without Tyrese Maxey (hip) but the team didn't miss a beat on offense with Embiid controlling the flow of the game. Philadelphia is one game back of Indiana for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, and the coaching staff will have to balance a desire to avoid the NBA Play-In Tournament with Embiid's health heading into the postseason. In the four games since his return, Embiid is averaging 30.0 points on 51.4 percent shooting, 8.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.8 steals over 30.1 minutes per game.
