If I were Doc Rivers I'd try to advise Embiid to wait till game 4, there's not much of a difference between winning 4 out of 4 games vs 4 out of 5 games, Embiid has a couple more days off and and they'd basically have to dominate the other team every game anyway.

between DJ and Diang, 6ers are so disadvantaged and I blame Doc heavily for not trying other options

I wonder how or if this impacts Lowry's status. Maybe activate him and leave him on the bench unless we need some 2nd half offensive execution? My concern is rust and re-integrating another player on the fly, and who knows if he's even in game shape right now

I’m fully expecting him to be in there at this point.

beating this Miami Heat team four times in a row... it's an almost impossible task... if they get lucky and win the next 2, I think the best bet they have is a game 7

I'm not being a homer just a realist... their morality is in on the way to the dumpster...Jimmy bam Herro have a highly developed Killer Instinct

If you've followed what is going on, they had a 5 pm deadline to give an update on Embiid yesterday, he was not out of concussion protocols yet so he had to be OUT, he cleared concussion protocols this morning.

You said the issue happened 4 years ago and Embiid should play if he feels like it. I said employers have an obligation towards employee safety and medical officials disagree with your assessment. This is the point of disagreement. Not whether Embiid will in fact play, I’m not a medical official. I’m not diagnosing him.

Sure and if they blocked him from playing when he wanted to it may effect their business relationship. You also assumed the medical team ruled him out when in fact he was ruled out because at 5pm when they had to give an update he hadn't passed his concussion protocols so the default is OUT.

I see this in the same light as Zion, although New Orleans may be "protecting" an asset, that asset could see it as the franchise holding him back and wasting some of his youth, being overly cautious. I will not be one bit surprised if after a year after signing a near max extension he asks out of New Orleans because he feels they held him back when he felt was ready to go and had medical opinions saying he was good to go.

I get what you’re saying. It’s a fine line. Medical officials err on the side of caution. The decision should be made by third party doctors tbh, not team medical officials. Too much of a potential for conflict of interest.

Last time Embiid played us he was healthy and shot an amazing 4-15 but was bailed out by free throws. Let’s hope that’s the case tonight minus the free throws

JJ Redick commentating tonight is good news

All Embiid really has to do in order to impact this series is limit our offensive rebounding. And yes he's got an injured thumb so he might not be able to actually grab rebounds at full strength but simply boxing out for other Sixers would make a world of difference for Philly

We've really got to execute better offensively so that we aren't so dependent on 2nd chance opportunities

Bam Adebayo downgraded to doubtful.

Bum Adebollo warming up with the intention to play.
