Here is a closer look at the history of matchups between the two, including potential games that either Embiid or Jokic were not available to play in.

Winning league MVP in 2023, Embiid followed that campaign by playing just 39 games the next season. Having already missed 31 games entering Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Embiid is ineligible for season awards due to the league's 65-game minimum rule.
