Game Preview

The Philadelphia 76ers are a much better team with Joel Embiid in the lineup.

While that’s hardly breaking news, there’s a noticeable difference in the way the 76ers play when the reigning NBA MVP is on the floor. Now, whether Embiid will be able to suit up on Wednesday in the NBA play-in round against the visiting Miami Heat remains to be seen.

“Yeah, hopefully,” 76ers coach Nick Nurse said of Embiid’s availability, per the Philadelphia Inquirer. “Not sure on anybody, but I’m hopeful.”
