We’re on the cusp of a brand new NBA regular season, with the Sixers slated to take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. We’re mere days away of the matchup and already getting some injury updates regarding both teams.
ESPN’s Tim Bontempts said on Monday’s Hoop Collective podcast that he thinks Joel Embiid will play in the season opener when asked by host Brian Windhorst. The discussion (which can be found around the 57-minute mark) went like this:
Brian Windhorst: Can I ask a question on Joel?
Tim Bontempts: Yes.
