As long as Celtics and pacers keep losing. Sixers front office gonna to let embiid have all the time to recover I guess.

They did say he was rusty in practice today. Maybe want him to go through another round of warmup tomorrow night before deciding if he plays Wednesday.

It’s back to back nights. He was gonna to miss one of those games anyways.

I think they just don't want him to play both back to back against both Orl/Chicago. I think we need him more against Bulls.

Read on Twitter

What's this rubbish. All this makes me think is that he hurt his knee just prior to the all-star game... didn't tell anyone at the team because he wanted to play and then decided to contact the team afterwards to tell them he might need some rest.

Yeah, he just cares a lot about meaningless shows like all star game, so he didn't tell anyone his knee was bothering him, it is what it is unfortunately.

I don’t care if Embiid is out for Tuesday. We have to beat Orlando at home anyway.
Chicago is playing very good recently, would be nice to have him back Wednesday.

I wouldn't be surprised if they sit him out now until Sunday vs. Indy.

He is not coming back this week. Brett brown just said he looks like he hasn't played basketball in awhile.
Seems very likely he hurt/tweaked his knee either right before or in the All Star Game.
Awesome. Without a healthy Embiid, it is first round and out in the playoffs.

but if we play Boston in the 1st Round and its Embiid vs Horford.....maybe we'd be better off without Embiid so Harris can get the ball more and challenge Boston in new ways :guitar:

How about taking out Ben also as well. Simmons was so negative in the Boston series last year. And it was Horford defending Simmons most of the time. It was tj who was more effective. Since the sorta of have respect tj dribble penetration and pull up 15 foot jumper. Simmons they just ignore him and sag off into the paint.

without Embiid we see Ben gets the paint all to himself to penetrate and dish or post-up, so no problem there

Even without Embiid we arent losing in the first round. But he'll be fine.

You need to change your location. Now it's just "Ben Simmons". It should be "Ben Simmons dick".

There must be some alternative universe I must have been in... because this continual insistence that he had a "bad series" against the Celtics and that they stopped him that I keep seeing pop up all the time... isn't actually supported by fact.

Ben had 1 bad game the entire 5 game series where he scored 1 point that seems to be the only game everyone remembers. In the other 4 games he scored 18,16, 19 and 18. Above his average for the season and at 51% shooting. Also averaged 9 rebounds and 6 assists in those 4 games.

If that's Ben being "shut down" by Boston and a negative for the entire series then I can't wait to see him when he is a "positive".

Yup. Must be. Because he absolutely was bad in that series. Him scoring in the teens for a handful of games doesn't really change that. The Celtics turned him into an offensive liability.
