It’s hard to get excited reading all of the Sixers-Nets content when you’re probably wondering more about if Joel Embiid will be out there or how healthy he is. First Elton Brand shocks everyone by saying he’s merely “optimistic” Embiid will be ready to play. Then Joel himself is talking about having had scans and how the pain has recently escalated. Is this all gamesmanship? Do they really think Nets Coach Kenny Atkinson will spend a chunk of his time preparing to stop Boban Marjanoviu0107 instead, or is something very wrong?
Joel Embiid still does not know if he’ll play Game 1 versus the Nets tomorrow.
