Joel Embiid and Josh Richardson are both progressing towards a return to the court, with growing optimism Embiid will be back in the lineup when the Philadelphia 76ers return home against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Ben Simmons‘ injury, on the other hand, continues to be cloaked in uncertainty and speculation. In the absence of three of the team’s starters, a few reserve players are fighting to solidify their position in Brett Brown’s playoff rotation.
Obviously, if you have watched any game since Simmons has been sidelined, the first player mentioned has to be Shake Milton.
