Embiid did not play in Tuesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns because of an injury to his left ankle.
But it isn't just Embiid the Sixers are getting back for their Eastern Conference showdown.
According to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Al Horford, Tobias Harris and Josh Richardson will also return for Wednesday's matchup with Toronto.
