Embiid has missed the last 11 games as he continues to battle with knee issues and is ruled out for the upcoming home games against the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings.

On Jan. 17, the Sixers announced that Embiid's knee had begun to swell again and they would re-evaluate him in 7-to-10 days. Monday marked the 10th day of that period and the team announced an update on the big fella as they look to begin a 6-game homestand on the right foot on Tuesday when they host the Los Angeles Lakers.

Joel Embiid was a partial participant in practice for the 76ers on Monday, as a team with a rare burst of wind in its sails approaches a season-long homestand.

The Sixers announced on Jan. 17 that Embiid, who had missed the prior six games with a left foot sprain, was now experiencing swelling in his left knee and would be re-evaluated in approximately 7-10 days.

Philadelphia 76ers owner Josh Harris recently addressed the team’s underwhelming performance this season and shared his thoughts on star center Joel Embiid.

Embiid was sidelined due to a foot sprain that he was initially able to play through and sustained left knee swelling during his recovery which has delayed his return. According to Ky Carlin of Sixers Wire, Embiid was a partial participant in the team's practice on Monday and his knee has responded well to treatment.

It hasn't been the best year for Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid. He has only played 13 games thus far, and even when he's on the floor, the superstar big man isn't near the MVP-level he was playing at in 2023.

Embiid, who has been out since Jan. 4 with a foot sprain and knee swelling stemming from last year's meniscus surgery, was a partial participant in Monday's practice, the team said.
