This is the fifth consecutive game Embiid has missed for Philadelphia. He is thriving in recent months, but has not appeared since prior to the All-Star break. The seven-time All-Star is averaging 29.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.5 assists on 53.5% shooting in 17 games played in 2026.
The absence of starting center Gobert is a major plus for the 76ers, as he is the Timberwolves' defensive anchor. He is suspended for committing his seventh flagrant foul of the season. The four-time Defensive Player of the Year is averaging 11.2 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks on 70.6% shooting in 55 appearances.
The following was released by NBA Communications regarding Gobert's suspension:
"Gobert, who entered Friday's game with six Flagrant Foul points, received a Flagrant Foul 1 with :29.8 remaining in the second quarter of the Timberwolves' 122-111 victory over the Dallas Mavericks at Target Center. Gobert will serve his suspension tomorrow when the Timberwolves host the Philadelphia 76ers at Target Center."
With Gobert out, the 76ers have a shot at picking up an upset victory on the road.
