Joel Embiid Returns to Lineup, Listed Probable for Game 5

Joel Embiid has returned to the 76ers for their playoff series against Boston following an emergency appendectomy. Initially mistaking symptoms for a stomach bug during a road trip, Embiid is now officially listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 5. Analysts expect him to play a significant role in the matchup, though the 76ers face a difficult challenge as Boston has adjusted their strategy to account for his presence.
