Joel Embiid (protocols) expected back for 76ers Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (health protocols) is probable to play Friday against the Washington Wizards.

What It Means:

Embiid cleared quarantine and is ready to make his second-half debut after missing Thursday's contest. Tony Bradley filled in admirably with the starters while Dwight Howard scored a season-high 18 points off the bench. They will return to reduced roles Friday but Embiid should see an uptick in usage with Ben Simmons (protocols) still unavailable. He will be fresh for a matchup with a Wizards team that he's averaging 33.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 blocks, and 2.0 triples against this season.

Embiid is the top projected scorer on numberFire’s projections for Friday's seven-game slate. Our models expect him to score 54.8 FanDuel points and he has a salary of $10,700. Embiid is registering a 41.6 percent usage rate and producing 1.9 FanDuel points per minute with Simmons off the court this season.
