The circumstances surrounding Embiid's right knee remain unclear. On Nov. 11, Embiid went from available the night before a game to ruled out in the afternoon due to this issue, which had previously not been known about. For nearly three weeks, the Sixers claimed Embiid was day-to-day, but he missed eight consecutive games during that span.

The Knicks dominated the 76ers before the All-Star break with a 49-point victory, one of their biggest wins in franchise history.

The Philadelphia 76ers are in a fix as they are going to miss All-Star player Paul George for the majority of this regular season due to a 25-game ban.
