Joel Embiid

After not being listed on the initial injury report, which dropped Tuesday, Embiid popped up Wednesday morning as out due to an illness. He then posted on X saying he was going to play through the ailment, which wouldn't have been surprising after he did so Monday in Miami, posting 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes. However, Embiid has since posted on X again, saying that the organization is indeed shutting him down against Washington. Team president Daryl Morey confirmed Embiid will be out, saying the center missed the team's morning film session and will be checked out by a doctor, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Johni Broome

Broome went under the knife at the end of February to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, and the Sixers have yet to provide much of an update on a timeline for his return. He was scheduled to be re-evaluated one month from his surgery date, so more information could come to light in the coming days. For now, he can be considered doubtful for Friday's matchup against Minnesota.
