The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the Washington Wizards at home on Monday for the second time in a week, and they will have a full squad available.
After being initially listed as questionable to play against the Wizards due to left knee soreness, Joel Embiid has gone through warmups and will take the court. The big fella initially suffered the issue in Friday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks when he planted awkwardly on a drive to the basket.
Embiid scored 50 points in Philadelphia’s Dec. 6 win over Washington and with Daniel Gafford out for the Wizards, one should assume that the reigning league MVP will play in this contest.
Joel Embiid will play tonight. Regular starting lineup. #Sixers

Embiid and the Sixers look to build on their two-game winning streak. They are also hoping to take advantage of the soft part of their schedule. They are in a stretch of opponents with sub-.500 records.
