Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid is anticipated to make his return to the court this week, with the possibility of playing as early as Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Embiid has been sidelined since January 30 due to an injury sustained against the Golden State Warriors.

Following surgery for a torn meniscus, he was given a recovery timeline of six to eight weeks, and his comeback aligns closely with the eight-week mark.
