Joel Embiid was expected to make his preseason debut against the Nets on Monday night.
In the day leading up to the game, Sixers’ head coach Nick Nurse mentioned he expected Embiid to make his debut in Brooklyn. When the Sixers wrapped up their shootaround session in the morning, Embiid was ruled out for the night.Shortly before the Sixers and the Nets tipped off for the night, Nick Nurse revealed that Embiid was under the weather, hence the reason why he didn’t make the trip to Brooklyn.
With three preseason games in the bag for the Sixers, Embiid has one game left to play before the regular season begins. Friday’s preseason finale could end up becoming must-see TV for Sixers fans. Not only could it be the first time Embiid competes in Nick Nurse’s system for the hoops world to see, but it also might be. While Embiid might not play a ton if he does get cleared for action, the minutes he picks up will be crucial for his conditioning, considering he hasn’t played in a live NBA game since May.Nick Nurse isn’t ready to finalize his rotation.
James Harden made his frustration with the 76ers clear throughout the course of the offseason. While the Sixers’ star doesn’t have any desire to mend his relationship with the front office, he’s doing the team one last favor as they look to satisfy his trade request.
