Sixers Injury Update: Embiid's Foot, Barlow's Back Woes

As the Philadelphia 76ers navigate the 2026-27 season, they are contending with several player injuries. Joel Embiid is currently managing a right foot plantar fascia issue. This condition, described as painful and intermittent, requires careful management by the team's coaching staff. Despite this, Embiid is slated to participate in the upcoming game against the Chicago Bulls.

Adding to the team's injury concerns, Dominick Barlow has been sidelined for the entire season due to a persistent back injury. While he has shown some ability to move on the court, his participation has been limited. Barlow is scheduled to consult with a specialist on Tuesday, November 4, 2026, for further evaluation and potential treatment options.
