Joel Embiid (right knee injury management) is questionable for the Sixers' road contest against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night, according to the team's initial injury report for the game unveiled on Wednesday night:
The Sixers have an injury report for tomorrow’s game @ LAL:
Joel Embiid — right knee injury management — QUESTIONABLE
Jared McCain — not with team — OUT— Adam Aaronson (@SixersAdam) February 5, 2026
Embiid, who sat during the Sixers' road win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday in the second leg of a back-to-back, has enjoyed his healthiest and best stretch of basketball in two years over the last month and change. Since the start of January, his few absences have been on back-to-backs and his minutes and production have improved significantly.
