This franchise always draws a lot of attention and even more during these hard moments. Without Embiid on the court, they found a way to stop the Nets and complete the sweep.
After a tumultuous Game 3 where they were involved in controversy, with Embiid kicking Nic Claxton in the groin and James Harden getting ejected, the Sixers found their peace and rhythm, beating the Nets and getting some resting days before facing a new challenge in the semifinals.
Joel Embiid’s Return Is Unclear For Sixers
Meanwhile, Joel Embiid’s return remains a big question mark for the team. Doc Rivers provided a worrisome update about the player, saying that the MRI didn’t turn out well, setting the alarm for the team.
Now they have to sit and wait for Embiid to return. Hopefully, this sprained knee doesn’t prevent him from making a deep playoffs run, especially this season. The Sixers look like a strong candidate to come out of the East as long as they have Embiid on the court.
Without him, the job gets a lot harder, but the Sixers are confident they will have their guy back soon. They wait for the winner of the Boston Celtics vs. Atlanta Hawks series, which the Celtics lead 2-1 after three games.
