The Philadelphia 76ers will continue life without Joel Embiid for “time unknown but at least a good long while” tonight when they play host to the Dallas Mavericks. The big man is undergoing a procedure on his left meniscus, but at least the door isn’t closed on his returning this season. Yay?
If you were hoping for word that the Sixers’ roster would be more intact than what we saw in Saturday night’s loss to Brooklyn, well, I don’t have much good news for you. In addition to Embiid, De’Anthony Melton, Nic Batum, and Robert Covington all remain out.
