Answering another batch of reader-submitted Sixers questions, from Joel Embiid to the team's group of two-way players.

Joel Embiid’s health is the single biggest factor in determining how far the Philadelphia 76ers can go in the 2025–26 season. His availability will define the year after injuries derailed the past two campaigns, limiting him to just 58 total games due to a torn meniscus and multiple knee surgeries.

The meatpacking giant is set to close a plant in Lexington, Nebraska, with about 3,200 employees. The company also said it will scale back its operations at a beef plant in Amarillo, Texas, moving to a single, full-capacity shift in a move that will affect about 1,700 workers.

Joel Embiid's lingering knee concerns will keep him off the court for the Philadelphia 76ers' Sunday game versus the Miami Heat.

Embiid is currently listed as questionable to face the Magic on Tuesday. He has missed the past seven games for the 76ers, but he's trending towards a return. If he does get the green light to play against the Magic, he's likely to have strict restrictions.

The 76ers gained strong momentum ahead of their upcoming game against the Heat, but the rotation will again miss Joel Embiid for the night.

In Thursday’s victory over the Bucks, Tyrese Maxey led the way for the 76ers as he recorded 54 points, five rebounds and nine assists while Paul George added 21 points, five rebounds and three assists of his own. Now Philadelphia will try to grab their 10th victory of the season at home on Sunday in a tough matchup against the Heat.

After slightly upgrading Joel Embiid on the injury report, the 76ers have made their final call on the big man's status.

Embiid's status for Sunday afternoon’s home game against the Miami Heat will be more formalized on the NBA’s mandatory injury report released Saturday evening.
