The 76ers are desperately trying to avoid the injury bug ahead of what they hope will be a deep playoff run.
James Harden missed Wednesday's win over the Bulls because of left Achilles tendon soreness. Joel Embiid played in 16 minutes of that contest, but he sat out the second half after experiencing tightness in his right calf.
Philadelphia has three more games left on its current road trip as the team attempts to secure a top seed in the Eastern Conference standings, starting with a matchup against Golden State on Friday night. Will Embiid be available to play?

Is Joel Embiid playing vs. Warriors tonight?
Embiid was upgraded from questionable to available on the 76ers' official injury report before Friday's game. Harden was ruled out, but Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers told reporters that he believes Harden could return on Saturday or Monday.
Doc Rivers says there’s a chance James Harden plays tomorrow in Phoenix and a “bigger chance” he plays Monday in Denver.
