I'm not watching a 9 minute clip of First Take but getting some teeth knocked out is different than having you face breaking millimeters away from your eye. If his sight gets permanently damaged there so no mask that will allow him to play.

I can't believe someone that almost ended his playing career because he couldn't control his anger and assaulted fans has a job at ESPN as an analyst of any kind.

Then again, our current geopolitical situation shouldn't make anything come as a surprise anymore.

Joel should sue Aaron Rodgers for using his saying.

Embiid is officially listed as Doubtful for tomorrow's game, but the last time he was doubtful for a game he played.

Doubtful is better than out!

Stephen Jackson is a meme. That's it. He has no insight on this team.

I doubt he’s playing.

I would be shocked if he played.

I think sixers have all intention of not letting him play to game 5 at the earliest. Tuesday April 23 would be 3.5 weeks since surgery.

Game 4 is 42 hours from game 3.

I don’t think that you are right, but even if you WERE right, it would be easier on everyone if they just said that.

Never said anything about Fultz til he was playing that night, why do you think anything will change now.

BB will probably announce it just like he did Fultz, at the last min.

Very different scenario. Fultz asked to play and that was the last thing holding him back.

Embiid has an injury and there are medical benchmarks that he needs to pass.

If they plan on keeping him out for the next two games then they should just say so. They don’t need to go through his circus in that case.

Whenever anyone makes these kinds of claims I reject them because I don’t believe that Brett Brown would lie about this. He would have to be deliberately lying to the media, and I don’t believe he would do that.

Understand what your saying, just don't think it will happen that way. We will find out 2 hours before the game if Jojo is playing, either if its game 3 or 4. Just my opinion.

And you would be wrong.
Coaching is a chess match. There is no reason to tell the Heat he's playing or not. Let the Heat have to spend time game planning for him. Less time to game plan against everyone else.
The Sixers know damn well right now if Joel is playing in 24 hours. They are purposely not telling the media(or the Heat) to gain a strategic advantage. C'mon now son! This is coaching 101 !

Hey man, so are they going to make him wear the goggles and mask?

Won't that increase the chance of it fogging up?

Haven't heard anything new on that but I would expect just a mask based on his practices
