The Philadelphia 76ers’ initial injury report for their Monday night game once again includes veteran All-Star center Joel Embiid.

Except this time, Embiid’s status isn’t due to knee injury management. Now he is questionable due to an illness.

On Tuesday evening, Embiid made his season debut against the New York Knicks. In 26 minutes of action, Embiid shot just 2-11 from the field and scored 13 points. Since the Sixers had a game the next night, it was already unclear whether he would continue to play or not.

Sure enough, Embiid got the second night of the back-to-back departures. Against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Sixers fell short in Embiid’s absence. It was Embiid’s tenth absence of the season.

The Sixers started a three-game road trip on Friday night. Embiid was cleared for action against the Orlando Magic for NBA Cup action.

The Sixers center looked good in the first half, producing 16 points in 16 minutes of action. He was efficient from the field, knocking down five of his eight shots.

However, Embiid looked rusty in the second half. Over his next 16 minutes of action, Embiid missed all seven shots from the floor and scored just four points. All of his production in the second half came from the free throw line.

Embiid finished with 20 points and eight rebounds in 32 minutes of action against Orlando. After the game, the big man told reporters he was feeling good as he worked his way back into the lineup. However, it appears he is in danger of missing another match on Monday due to illness.

The Sixers will play the Miami Heat on the road. They are currently in the middle of a three-game losing streak. So far, they have come up short in both games with Embiid. Overall, the team is 2-10 this year.

The Sixers and Heat will kick off Monday at 7:30 PM ET.
