The NBA internal injury report now has Joel Embiid listed as probable.
— Keith Pompey (@PompeyOnSixers) April 19, 2018It’s happening. Hopefully.
Joel Embiid has been upgraded from doubtful to probable for Game 3 vs. the Miami Heat.
If Joel plays, it changes the outlook of tonight’s game drastically. The Sixers could desperately use his presence due to Miami’s increased physicality on the defensive end. There’s a fear that physicality could endanger Embiid if his face isn’t 100% healed. But the Sixers have been extremely cautious, so I’ll take their word for it if they decide he’s good to go.
