Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid Out for Tuesday's Game Against Celtics Due to Right Knee Soreness
Joel Embiid will miss the game against the Boston Celtics due to right knee soreness and is under medical evaluation, with the 76ers holding a 6-4 record, officials said.
- On Nov 11, 2025, the Philadelphia 76ers ruled center Joel Embiid out of Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics with right knee soreness, saying team doctors are evaluating him.
- The right-knee problem is notable because right knee soreness is a new issue distinct from Joel Embiid's prior left knee surgery and minutes restriction this season.
- Before sitting out, Joel Embiid had six appearances this year, averaging 19.7 points and 5.5 rebounds in 23.3 minutes per game and scored a season-high 29 points vs. Toronto Raptors.
- The immediate schedule — Friday in Detroit then Monday at home — means the Philadelphia 76ers rely on Tyrese Maxey and rookie V.J. Edgecombe after Embiid's absence.
- Given past left-knee surgeries, Joel Embiid's uncertain return timetable remains as his status beyond Tuesday is undetermined and the team manages back-to-back game minutes cautiously.
