Heading into their matchup with the LA Lakers Tuesday night, one of the underlying stories was the return of JJ Redick. The former Philadelphia 76ers guard made his return to the city for the first time as a head coach.

Embiid, Guerschon Yabusele (knee) and KJ Martin (foot stress reaction) were partial participants. Yabusele missed two games after knee-to-knee contact Jan. 15 against the Knicks but has played the last three, including both halves of the Cleveland-Chicago back-to-back. He was listed as probable.

On Jan. 17, the Sixers announced that Embiid's knee had begun to swell again and they would re-evaluate him in 7-to-10 days. Monday marked the 10th day of that period and the team announced an update on the big fella as they look to begin a 6-game homestand on the right foot on Tuesday when they host the Los Angeles Lakers.

There will be no Process 2.0 here, a half-season tank to ensure Philly retains its '25 first-round pick and lives to fight another season.

Philadelphia 76ers owner Josh Harris recently addressed the team’s underwhelming performance this season and shared his thoughts on star center Joel Embiid.

According to Anthony Chiang and Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the Heat are "reluctant" to trade for All-Stars with contracts running past 2025-26, at which point Miami can clear north of $80 million in cap space as stars such as Luka Doncic and Trae Young become free agents.

Embiid, who has been out since Jan. 4 with a foot sprain and knee swelling stemming from last year's meniscus surgery, was a partial participant in Monday's practice, the team said.

Joel Embiid was a partial participant in practice for the 76ers on Monday, as a team with a rare burst of wind in its sails approaches a season-long homestand.

Joel Embiid was out for the Philadelphia 76ers' game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday with a knee injury and hit an unwanted milestone in the process.
