The Philadelphia 76ers' injury report for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors has raised some concerns about Joel Embiid's availability. The Sixers' star center is listed as questionable due to left knee injury management, leaving his participation in the matchup uncertain.
Despite making significant strides in terms of production and playing time in recent weeks, it's still unlikely that Embiid will be able to play both legs of a back-to-back schedule anytime soon. With the team facing another game on Monday night against the Raptors, suiting up for both games seems improbable.
Kelly Oubre Jr. and Paul George are also expected to miss one leg of the back-to-back series due to their own injury concerns. While neither player has been listed as injured in Sunday's report, it's likely they'll need to play a game on either side of the back-to-back before being able to participate in both legs.
The team's decision to not include any other players with an injury designation suggests that Embiid is the primary concern, and his availability will be closely watched by the 76ers' management. With Embiid's knee still under maintenance, it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to play on Sunday against the Raptors.

I'm really gonna miss seeing Joel Embiid dominate in a back-to-back game. The 76ers need him at his best if they wanna take down those Raptors 
. Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. not being 100% doesn't help tho... it's like, can't we just get one player healthy already? 
Hopefully Embiid can give it a shot on Sunday, fingers crossed for the team! 
. Injuries are always a risk when playing two games in like 2 days, and it's just gonna be a sloppy show if Embiid can't even make it through one of them 
. Maybe the team is thinking they can get some wins out of this without Embiid and then he comes back and saves their season 
? Yeah right 
...
! It's like trying to put together a puzzle with missing pieces 
. I think the team should consider starting the series on Monday, that way they can rest some players and make sure everyone is healthy for the playoffs 
. Meanwhile, Kelly Oubre Jr and Paul George are also dealing with injuries, so this whole situation is just looking like a disaster waiting to happen 
. If he can't play both games in the back-to-back series, it might be a big blow for the 76ers 
️. They've been having a great run lately and I think they need him to stay healthy. On the other hand, if Kelly Oubre Jr. and Paul George are not fully ready yet, maybe their injuries will actually help the team in the long run

are making me wanna cry tears of NBA tears... 
at least they're trying to get Kelly Oubre Jr. and Paul George back in the mix soon though... can't have our star players sitting on the bench when we need them most 
... I mean, I get it, injuries happen and all that but can't they just switch one of the games or something? It's already stressful enough with Embiid's knee issues 
. Not sure how Oubre Jr and George will handle it too, those guys need their rest 
. Hope the 76ers can make some adjustments without Embiid, 'cause this team needs him right now 
️!
. If he doesn't make it, it could be tough for them. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Paul George are also key players, they need to get their health back ASAP 
This is like, worst timing ever
