According to the team, the Philadelphia 76ers have ruled Joel Embiid out for the remainder of the preseason to continue to follow his left knee management process.

Embiid is “progressing well and will continue to take part in an individual treatment plan designed to best support his health and wellness for the 2024-25 season.”

This is the official statement released by the organization, as they have three more games to play until the regular season. From now until October 18th, that’ll be their preseason. Then Philly will have a five-day rest before their season opener.

The Milwaukee Bucks travel to the Wells Fargo Center to take on Embiid’s team on October 23rd.

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid have agreed to a massive three-year extension.

This extension is set at $193 million and will be added when Embiid declines his upcoming player option for the 2026-27 season.

The 30-year-old will be tied to Philly for the next five years, during which time he’ll be making a little under $300 million. To be precise, roughly $299.5 million.

Embiid will have a player option worth $69.1 million in 2028-29.

Joel Embiid: ‘We Are The Better Team’

Despite the 76ers being down 0-2 to the Knicks, Joel Embiid thinks they still have a chance to win this series. That is completely possible when seeing in their environment for the next two games.

“We’re good,” Embiid said. “We’re going to win this series.

“We are going to win this. We know what we got to fix. We did a better job today, so we are going to fix it.

“We are the better team. We are going to keep fighting.”

He and Tyrese Maxey have been showing how great this team was and can be, which is why both games have been nail-biters. Many reasons can explain why New York is better than Philadelphia right now; however, Nick Nurse is looking for his team to win Game 3 on Thursday.
