Joel Embiid and James Harden will sit out season finale versus Pistons

Apparently opting not to go all out for the three seed, Philadelphia has decided to rest stars Joel Embiid and James Harden for tonight’s regular season finale against the lowly Detroit Pistons at the Wells Fargo Center.

Joel Embiid (right knee soreness) and James Harden (left hamstring injury recovery) are out tonight.

The three seed is still theoretically attainable, should the Boston Celtics lose tonight to the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies, however, are resting many key players, including MVP candidate Ja Morant.
