Joel Embiid<\/a> is listed as probable for Game 1 of the Philadelphia 76ers’ second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks<\/a> on Monday night at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

Embiid, who underwent an appendectomy about a month ago<\/a>, is listed on the injury report with a right hip contusion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Embiid led the Sixers to the franchise’s biggest playoff series win since 2001 in Saturday night’s Game 7 victory over the Boston Celtics<\/a> at TD Garden. It marked the first time Philadelphia had beaten Boston in a playoff series in 44 years, as the team erased a 3-1 series deficit for the first time in franchise history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Embiid, who took a shot to his knee late in the fourth quarter, had 34 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and a massive block on Celtics forward Jaylen Brown in the Game 7 win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Embiid returned from emergency appendicitis surgery in Game 4 against the Celtics and completely changed the series. He averaged 28 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists in four games, where the Sixers went 3-1, including two wins on the road at TD Garden.<\/p>\n

Forward Jeremy Sochan is the only Knicks player listed on the injury report with left hamstring tightness.<\/p>\n

The Sixers and Knicks split the regular season series 2-2 with the away team winning every game. The two teams last met in the postseason in 2024, where the Knicks won the first round series in six games.<\/p>\n
