Is Joel Embiid playing tonight? Latest injury update for Knicks at Sixers Nov 12

The New York Knicks are back in Philadelphia for the first time since the 2024 playoffs to face the Sixers. It's not your typical regular season game, as it's the team's first NBA Cup group play game.

New York dropped below .500 with a 132-121 loss to Indiana on Sunday, marking the Knicks' third loss in four games. Jalen Brunson led the team with 33 points (11-of-17) and 10 assists, and Karl-Anthony Towns poured in 30 points (11-of-19) and nine rebounds. New York shot 7-of-25 (28%) from three, while Indiana shot 21-of-46 (45.7%) from deep.

Josh Hart (43), Mikal Bridges (42), and Brunson (41) all played over 40 minutes. Towns (39) and OG Anunoby (36) were below the 40-minute mark. Tom Thibodeau has run an eight-minute rotation with the Knicks' injuries. The starters look gassed by the time the fourth quarter rolls around, and the injury report for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia isn't encouraging.

Joel Embiid (knee/suspension) isn't on the injury report.
