Embiid is out tonight.

Took care of a pretty important matchup. Warren and McConnel were great.

Brogdon and Sumner being banged up is a little worrisome.

Great win.

When does Brogdon's durability become a concern?

I would say that Brogdon's durability became a concern when the Bucks decided not to resign him.

It also might be a factor in him not getting the type of money that Middleton or Tobias Harris got.

I realized tonight that one of the things I want to see most when Vic returns is he and McConnell picking up guys full court defensively. They both are just such alpha dog competitions and it seems like Vic really respects his tough play. Put Justin Holiday on the wing with them, and man, that’s a tenacious trio.

It’s partially why we were able to sign him at all. But otherwise, I just haven’t been terribly concerned since McConnell and Holiday have been playing so darned well, too. Add in Lamb and Warren, and we’ve got depth to weather it right now.

I think if we are going to get the most out of him we need to use load management with him to make sure we get the most out of him come playoff time.
Things like no back to back games & pick certain games where he just doesn't play. If we can manage 60-70 games out of him each season & ensure he is playoff healthy then that'll be fine. You get Aaron & TJM doing a little more heavy lifting in the regular season.

A healthy Vic could create a minutes crush that resting Brogdon might solve.

I know we've had a ton of injuries ourselves, and havn't even had Vic yet, but it's crazy how many times we play a team without their star player. For example, just last two weeks, Kawhi-less Clippers, Davis-less Lakers, Siakom-less Raptors, Embiid-less Sixers and i'm not counting long term injury like Zion Williamson.
