Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) participated in the morning shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Miami Heat.
Embiid remains questionable, but this is a positive sign for his availability. He returned from a lengthy absence on Tuesday and recorded 24 points (6-14 field goals, 12-12 free throws), 6 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals over 29 minutes. The 76ers may keep Embiid capped at 30 minutes on Thursday night, if he's cleared to play. Mo Bamba (illness) is also questionable for the 76ers, but he didn't participate in the morning shootaround.
numberFire's models project Embiid for 30.2 minutes and 47.0 FanDuel points on Thursday. The Heat are allowing the second-fewest FanDuel points per game to the center position this season.
