Joel Embiid 'Not a Big Fan' of NBA's Orlando Bubble

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid says he isn't a "big fan" of the NBA's restart plan.

On Tuesday, two days before Philadelphia is expected to land in Orlando for the 2019-20 NBA season's restart, Embiid told reporters during a zoom conference call that "he's not confident in everyone following protocols and being responsible."

"I'm not a big fan of the idea," Embiid said, according to Derek Bodner of The Athletic. "But then again, I'm going to do my job. I'm not going to let the city down...I don't like the idea."

Other NBA players shared the same sentiments as the three-time All-Star.
