The franchise big man is set to return from a five-game absence on Tuesday, as the 76ers will face the Indiana Pacers.

With right knee injury management and right shin soreness, Embiid has been marked as questionable to play ahead of their road matchup. But Philadelphia stands compelled now about the former MVP's playing condition.

As he comes back, Embiid is expected to have his minutes restricted, with Andre Drummond and Adem Bona set to help him carry the load.

Embiid appeared in 31 games thus far this season. He is averaging 26.6 points, 7.5 boards and 3.9 assists.
