In perhaps a precursor to the 2021-22 season, we saw Monday that as long as the Sixers have Joel Embiid, they have a chance to win.
Down a slew of players, Embiid and the Sixers rode a hot start to a x-x win over the Brooklyn Nets at the Wells Fargo Center.
The Sixers were without Seth Curry (rest), Tobias Harris (right knee soreness), Shake Milton (right ankle sprain), Tyrese Maxey (left adductor tightness), and Matisse Thybulle (right shoulder soreness). Ben Simmons continues to hold out and has not reported to the team … yet.
Sixers All-Star Ben Simmons has arrived in Philadelphia and took a Covid-19 test -- as required by NBA protocol, sources tell ESPN.
