Out for second leg of back-to-back
Embiid won't play Wednesday against the Cavaliers due to left knee injury management, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analysis
As expected, Embiid will be held out of the second leg of a back-to-back set after he made his season debut in Tuesday's 111-99 loss to the Knicks following a six-game absence due to the left knee injury followed by a three-game suspension. President of basketball operations Daryl Morey had suggested prior to the start of the season that Embiid will play only one game of back-to-back sets for the foreseeable future. The 76ers are also holding out Paul George (knee) for rest Wednesday, so players such as Kelly Oubre, Jared McCain and Andre Drummond could dominate the usage for Philadelphia. Embiid should be back in action Friday in Orlando and will likely have his playing-time restriction loosened a bit after he logged 26 minutes Tuesday.

Looks rusty in season debut
Embiid logged 13 points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 111-99 loss to the Knicks.
Analysis
Seeing his first action of the season after overcoming a knee injury and serving a three-game suspension, Embiid was on a minutes restriction and wasn't in peak form. It's not clear how quickly the Sixers are willing to ramp things up with their franchise player, but the 30-year-old center isn't likely to be in the lineup for the second night of a back-to-back Wednesday against the Cavaliers. His next chance to increase his workload should come Friday in Orlando, as Philly begins a brief three-game southern road trip.

Operating on minutes restriction
Coach Nick Nurse said Embiid will be limited to 25-to-30 minutes during Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Analysis
Embiid will make his season debut Tuesday after missing time with a knee injury and suspension. However, the superstar big man will be eased into Philadelphia's rotation and will play less than his average of 33.6 minutes per contest from last season out the gate. Embiid will likely also sit out Wednesday's matchup with Cleveland, as it is the second night of a back-to-back.

Not listed on injury report
Embiid (knee/suspension) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis
As expected, Embiid is set to make his season debut Tuesday. He missed the start of the campaign due to a lingering knee injury and was suspended for the past three games due to a locker-room altercation with a reporter. The 2022-23 MVP will almost certainly have a strict minutes limit during his debut, but he should still be a high-usage player when on the court, especially until Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) is cleared to return.
