A week ago, Joel Embiid joined the exclusive 70-point club. We've seen him just once since.
After scoring 70 points in a win over the Spurs, Embiid appeared to tweak his knee in a loss to the Pacers. He was expected to suit up in his only trip of the regular season to Denver to face Nikola Jokic over the weekend, but he was a late scratch. He then missed Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Embiid's next opportunity to play comes Tuesday as the 76ers look to snap a three-game losing streak against Stephen Curry's Warriors. Will the one-time MVP be in uniform?
Here's the latest on Embiid's status against Golden State.

Is Joel Embiid playing tonight?
Embiid will return against the 76ers on Wednesday, per TNT Sports' Chris Haynes. Embiid has been cleared after going through his pregame warmup.
Embiid missed two straight games with left knee soreness. He was a late addition to the injury report for Saturday's loss to the Nuggets and was initially listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers before being ruled out.
Embiid has appeared in 33 of Philadelphia's first 45 games this season. He can miss just five more games if he wants to remain eligible for this season's MVP award.
In 34.2 minutes per game, Embiid is averaging 36.0 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.8 blocks.
