ESPN may not be too happy.

Lame.

I'll trust in Woj. If he said he's playing, he's playing.

Remember, it was just a few weeks ago, where Embiid went from doubtful to playing in the span of like 2 hours before game time.

Even more than trusting Woj, I trust in Embiid wanting and willing himself to play. As competitive as he is, I can't see him missing another game, especially not one that is nationally televised.

Woj sent that tweet out three days ago. Maybe the plan was to play him but the Sixers changed their mind. Who knows.

I feel like the organization is hiding something about his knee

That's entirely possible, but when we're in the position to have no information about specifics, I trust in Woj until proven otherwise.

Don't see a benefit in hiding anything - he was cheering on the bench afterward, walking and shooting the following day. They wouldn't be letting him do all that if it were worse or they were hiding something.

Plus he said that he is "expected" to play. It is an educated guess at the time of the tweet.

If I were to guess I'd say he won't play. A sprained knee usually take more than a week to heal.

I thought it was a bone bruise?

I say he plays. We'll find out tomorrow!

Well a bone bruise usually comes with a hyperextension sprain. Either that or a an ACL injury.

They're only adding a little bit of suspance.

I'm doubling down and saying Embiid will in fact get selected as an all star reserve.

He deserves it but they are gonna pick Milsap even though Embiid is better at literally every single facet of the game aside from taking care of the ball.

(please prove me wrong again)

about 7 minutes till we're pissed off.

George and Love have both made it so it's basically down to Milsapp.
