Joel Embiid will miss his 10th consecutive game when the Philadelphia 76ers lock horns against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. The one-time league MVP is listed as out on the injury report with a right knee injury, which the Sixers have deemed day-to-day for 18 days.
The mystery surrounding Embiid's fitness has only intensified panic among Philadelphia supporters. Despite being day-to-day for more than half a month, there remains no clarity on when Embiid will suit up for the Sixers again.
Meanwhile, rookie V.J. Edgecombe could make his comeback after missing three consecutive games. The No. 3 pick out of Baylor is listed as questionable with a left calf injury.

However, an MRI confirmed that the Sixers' big man suffered no structural damage to his knee and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game.
Paul George isn't on the injury report and is cleared to play against the Hawks. Meanwhile, Trendon Watford (left adductor) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (left knee) will remain sidelined. The Sixers are currently sitting in eighth place in the East and clinging to a play-in spot with a 10-8 record.
