The Philadelphia 76ers have listed Joel Embiid, James Harden and Danuel House, Jr., all as questionable for their trip to the Denver Nuggets on Monday night.
Embiid’s name appearing on the list has fans worried they may miss out on the highly-anticipated matchup of MVP candidates between him and Nikola Jokic. Jokic has beaten out Embiid the past two years for the MVP award, but has recently fallen behind the Sixers’ big man in betting odds for this season’s honor. With the debate raging on, this is final chance for the two to prove themselves directly against the other.
