Joel Embiid has been listed as doubtful for Thursday night’s pivotal game 3 in Miami, according to an official release from the Sixers on Twitter.
Embiid made waves earlier this week when he posted this Instagram story following Tuesday night’s loss at home
When coach Brett Brown was asked today as to whether or not he was optimistic about the chances that Joel would play tomorrow, he responded “I am not really anything. I am completely neutral, and we’ll coach and plan and think like that until someone tells me otherwise.”
This isn’t necessarily surprising answer, as Brown’s focus on tomorrow’s game and limiting the amount of distractions that might get in the way of his team’s preparation.
