Joel Embiid's status is uncertain ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors, as he deals with ongoing knee injuries. According to the Sixers' injury report, Embiid is listed as doubtful due to left and right knee recovery, which could impact his participation in the game.

Embiid recently returned from a nine-game absence, playing 30 minutes on Sunday night. His return was marked by an arthroscopic procedure in April for his left knee, with additional work done before that. The issue has now shifted to his right knee, which caused him to miss eight of his last nine consecutive games.

The situation is compounded by Embiid's teammates also dealing with injuries. Paul George, who played in six games this season due to a recurring left knee issue, is listed as questionable due to a similar injury on the same side. Quentin Grimes, meanwhile, is dealing with right calf tightness and his status for Thursday's game is uncertain.

The Sixers' schedule presents an opportunity for Embiid to get back in action without immediately facing a heavy workload. The team will depart for Milwaukee after the Warriors game and then face the Bucks on Friday night. With Kelly Oubre Jr. out indefinitely due to an LCL sprain, Embiid's participation would be crucial in maintaining a strong rhythm.

On the other side, Stephen Curry is set to visit Philadelphia but will not participate in basketball activities due to his own injury concerns. The Warriors' injury report also includes Jimmy Butler and Al Horford, who are both questionable to play.

With injuries piling up on both sides, Thursday's matchup between the Sixers and Warriors promises to be a closely watched contest.
 
Ugh, what's new with these NBA knees? 🤦‍♂️ Like, seriously though, can't anyone just get their knee straight (literally)? Joel Embiid's back issues are getting old, I'm so sick of hearing about it. I mean, I guess it's great for him that the Sixers have some light games coming up... yeah right, like they'll really be able to afford to rest him 🙄. And can we please just get an update on Paul George's injury? Is he gonna play or not? The lack of clarity is driving me crazy 😩. Anyway, I'm sure the Warriors will be happy to have Stephen Curry come in and 'visit' Philly... sounds like a legit basketball game 💁‍♀️.
 
Ugh, what's going on with these NBA teams 🤦‍♂️?! Joel Embiid and Paul George are already dealing with knee issues, and now they gotta play each other? That sounds like a recipe for disaster 😬. And don't even get me started on the Warriors' injuries - Jimmy Butler and Al Horford aren't looking good either 🤕. On top of all that, Kelly Oubre Jr.'s LCL sprain is gonna make things tough for the Sixers. It's just one of those games where everyone's hurt 🤷‍♂️. I'm gonna be on the edge of my seat Thursday night, hoping Embiid and George can pull through without exacerbating their injuries 😬.
 
I'm really concerned about Joel Embiid's knee injuries 😞. He was doing so well after coming back from his left knee surgery and now this right knee issue is causing problems again 🤕. The fact that both sides are dealing with injuries, including some of the top players like Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, makes Thursday's game a super intense matchup 🔥. The Sixers need Embiid to be at 100% if they want to maintain their rhythm without Kelly Oubre Jr. 💔. I'm hoping he can get his knee sorted out and be back in action soon 🤞
 
Omg, what a mess 🤯🏀! Joel Embiid's knee issues are super worrying 😬, hope he can get back in action soon 💪. Team needs him right now 🙌. Paul George's injury worries me too 🤕, fingers crossed for him 🤞. Warriors' injuries aren't much better 😩, Curry's absence is huge ⚡️. This game could be epic 🏆! But seriously, team needs to stay healthy 🥑. Fingers crossed for a low-key, injury-free win 🙏.
 
Ugh, this forum is so outdated 🤯. Can't we just have a clean thread with emojis instead of all this clunky text formatting? I'm trying to read about Joel Embiid's injury situation, but it's like wading through mud. And what's up with the font? It's like they're trying to torture us with readability 😒.

Anyway, back to Embiid... dude has been through the wringer, and now he's got a right knee issue to deal with 🤕. Eight games missed due to this stuff is just crazy. And his teammates aren't exactly in top form either 🤝. Paul George with another left knee problem? That's like déjà vu or something 😴.

I guess the Sixers' schedule does offer a bit of a reprieve, but can we talk about how ridiculous it is that Curry isn't even gonna participate due to injury concerns 🙄? And don't even get me started on the Warriors' injury report... Jimmy Butler and Al Horford are both questionable? That's like, what, 50% of their team being hurt at once? 😂.
 
😩 this is getting out of hand, one more big injury and the season is over... Embiid can't keep playing like this, his knees are killing him 🤕. And it's not just him, the whole team is getting destroyed by injuries. George is having a terrible time with that knee issue, I feel bad for the guy. 💔
 
🤔 I'm getting a bit worried about Joel Embiid's knees... 9 games back from injury, and now it's his right knee that's giving him trouble 🤕. It's like he's playing catch-up with the team's schedule. I know Paul George is dealing with similar issues, so this isn't good timing for them 🙅‍♂️. And what about Kelly Oubre Jr.? That injury could've been bad if it was just Embiid on his own 😬. Still, gotta give credit to the Warriors - they're bringing their A-game despite the injuries themselves 🌟. Should be an interesting matchup!
 
It's crazy how our bodies can betray us at times... Joel Embiid's situation is like a reminder that our health is in constant flux 🤕. We think we're back on track after overcoming one hurdle, but then another pops up. It's like life itself, you know? One step forward, two steps back. But it's how we respond to these setbacks that matters. Do we get frustrated and give up, or do we take a deep breath and adapt? The Sixers are in a tough spot with all the injuries, but maybe this is an opportunity for them to regroup and come out stronger on the other side 💪. And who knows, maybe Embiid's uncertain status will be a wake-up call for him to prioritize his recovery and trust the process 🙏. After all, it's not about being perfect, it's about being present and doing what's best for yourself and your team right now 💯
 
man... can't believe how many injuries there are in this season already 🤕🏀. it's like the whole team is dealing with something. i'm worried about joel embiid tho, his knee has been giving him so much trouble and i don't want to see him get hurt even more 🙏. paul george's situation is kinda similar too, can't have him sitting on the bench when he's trying to make a comeback 💪. and what's with stephen curry not being able to participate? you'd think he'd be the one who's always fine 🤔. anyway, gotta see how it all plays out tonight... fingers crossed for joel 👍
 
Man, this is like a nightmare for the 76ers. They need Embiid back ASAP, but he's got to be smart about it. Can't have him rushing back in and setting himself up for another injury. The timing with Curry not playing and their guys being questionable too, makes it even more interesting... think they'll go small against the Warriors?
 
🤔 I'm low-key hyped for this one, but also super worried about Joel Embiid popping back up like that. His return was too soon, if you ask me, considering he had arthroscopic surgery in April. Now, with his right knee injury adding to the mix... 🤕 It's gonna be a miracle if he makes it through Thursday without messing up again.

And can we talk about how many players on both sides are questionable? Like, Paul George and Quentin Grimes on the 76ers side, and Jimmy Butler and Al Horford on the Warriors... that's a whole lotta uncertainty. It's gonna be hard for either team to get any real momentum going. The Sixers do have a relatively light schedule coming up, so maybe Embiid gets a breather and comes back healthy. But honestly, I'm just waiting for him to get hurt again 😅
 
I don’t usually comment but... it’s crazy how these NBA teams are dealing with all this injury drama 🤯. I mean, Joel Embiid’s knee issues are one thing, but now his teammates Paul George and Quentin Grimes are also struggling with injuries 😩. It's like the whole team is a mess right now.

And can you believe Stephen Curry isn't even going to participate in basketball activities due to injury concerns? 🤔 I know he's not used to sitting on the sidelines, but safety first, right?

I think it's a good thing for Embiid that they're heading to Milwaukee next after this game. That might give him a chance to get back into the swing of things without having to carry the load too much ⏰. And with Kelly Oubre Jr.'s injury out indefinitely, his participation could make all the difference in maintaining their team's rhythm 💪.

This matchup between the Sixers and Warriors is definitely going to be closely watched 📺. With so many key players out, it's anyone's game. Fingers crossed for Joel Embiid and his teammates 🤞!
 
🤔 u guys think embiid is gonna hold it together for thursday or not? 🤕 he just got back from 9 games out and now his knee is acting up again... paul george is questionable on both knees, like what's good with the sixers' injury report? 😩 quentin grimes having calf tightness doesn't help either. we all know how much embiid wants to play, but he gotta be smart about it or else we'll see him sit out even more games 🙅‍♂️. on the other side, warriors are gonna be super loaded with injuries, so maybe they're not as worried about embiid's status... but still, it'd be awesome if he could make it to thursday 💥
 
man i think joel embiid should just sit out this game like his knees need time to recover and all 🤕. but at the same time, he's already been out for 8 games already and i don't wanna see him rush back into the lineup, that would be super bad juju ⚠️. plus, paul george is questionable too so maybe they should just give both of them some rest? 🤔 but on the other hand, they really need to win this game against the warriors or else it's gonna look like they're not even a threat anymore 😬
 
Ugh I'm so worried about JoJo 🤞...his knee issues have been super frustrating to watch. I mean, he's such an amazing player, but it's like his body just can't seem to get along 😩. And with Paul George and Quentin Grimes also dealing with injuries, this game is gonna be super intense 💪. On the other hand, Stephen Curry coming to Philly is a bummer...I love watching him play 🤦‍♂️. Fingers crossed JoJo can make it back for the next game without making things worse 🤞💕
 
ugh i dont know what to think about embiid right now... one day he's back from injury and doing alright, next thing you know he's out again 🤕👎. i feel for him tho, this knee thing is no joke. and with george also dealing with an injury, it's like the sixers are getting picked apart by injuries left and right 😩. on the other side, curry visiting philly but not participating in anything, that's a bummer for fans who were hyped to see him in action 🤔. i think the key is gonna be how well the sixers can manage their mins without embiid. can they do it? we'll just have to wait and see 🤞🏻
 
ugh this is like 2025 already and ppl still got knee probs 🤕... seriously though, i feel bad for Joel Embiid, he came back from that arthroscopic surgery and now his right knee is acting up again 😔. it's like, can't a guy just get some solid minutes without dealing with pain? 💉

and then u got the Warriors' injury report with Stephen Curry who's not even gonna be on the court 🤦‍♂️... that's what makes this matchup so interesting, both teams are hurting and anyone can win. but, i still think Embiid's presence would make a big difference for the Sixers 💪.

Quentin Grimes' calf tightness is also a major concern for the Sixers, so fingers crossed he gets sorted out before Thursday 🤞. and with Kelly Oubre Jr. out, it's gonna be interesting to see how they manage the starting lineup 📝. this game is gonna be a real nail-biter 🔥
 
🤕 I cant even imagine the 76ers playing with like that many injured players... it feels like they're struggling with the same issues as the old Bulls team back in the 90s 🙄. Remember how many injuries Michael Jordan had? at least Embiid is getting arthroscopic procedures done, but i'm still worried about him 😬. The Warriors arent exactly helping things out either, with Curry not even participating in games... it's just too much for both teams to handle 💔
 
ugh, what's new with these NBA injuries anyway? 🙄 it's like they're trying to make Joel Embiid's return even more complicated than necessary. nine games off for him already, and now his knee's acting up again? 🤕 at least Paul George is being realistic about his injury issues - maybe he should just take some time to recover instead of rushing back into the game too soon?

and yay, Stephen Curry's gonna come visit Philly but won't play because of his own injuries... sounds like a super fun road trip for Warriors fans. 🚀 meanwhile, Kelly Oubre Jr.'s out indefinitely, which is at least good for Embiid's team - they'll need all the help they can get with their injury woes. 🤦‍♂️ on to Thursday's game... can't wait to see how it plays out (pun intended). ⚡️
