Sixers center Joel Embiid is questionable for Monday night's game against the Phoenix Suns as he continues to deal with a left foot sprain, according to the team's initial injury report released on Sunday afternoon.
Embiid appeared to suffer the injury during the team's Christmas Day victory over the Boston Celtics, but it has yet to cost him any time. Embiid has only missed one game since it occurred, the front of a back-to-back in which his designation was merely "rest."
Joining Embiid as questionable on the injury report are Kelly Oubre Jr. (left hand sprain) and Kyle Lowry (right hip soreness).
Oubre has missed three straight games with the injury after appearing in each of the first 30 games of the season, but before the Sixers' win over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, head coach Nick Nurse expressed optimism that Oubre — listed as doubtful and later ruled out for that contest — could very well be back against Phoenix.
Lowry missed the team's final five games in November due to a strain in his right hip, and since his return he has popped up on a few injury reports with soreness. Lowry started in the backcourt in consecutive games as Oubre's replacement, but was moved to the bench against the Nets, with Guerschon Yabusele — the lone Sixer to appear in every game so far — sliding into Nurse's starting five.
