Joel Embiid injury update: Was knee OK after Sixers Game 7 win vs. Celtics?

Joel Embiid has overcome injuries and appendix removal that led him to play just 38 games in the regular season -- thanks to play in the NBA playoffs so far in 2026, his Philadelphia 76ers beat the Boston Celtics in seven contests.

But he took a shot to his knee late in the game on Saturday night, which left him limping down the floor and eventually hobbling off the floor as the Sixers claimed victory.

So what's the latest here? Will he be able to play against the New York Knicks on Monday?

We don't know much yet. We'll see if he or coach Nick Nurse have anything to say after the game about Embiid's knee. Stay tuned -- we'll update you here.
