It’s a continuing struggle this Sixers season to figured out if Joel Embiid will play for the Sixers or not in any given game as he still is being eased into competition. Even when the big man is good to go, he is on a minute restriction.
It appears that the team wants to play him in Saturday night’s contest against the Phoenix Suns, but Embiid is now injured.
Shootaround update:
•Embiid questionable (mild left ankle sprain); will be evaluated tonight at arena

According to reports, the ankle injury came during a game earlier this week.

Once again, fans will not know if Embiid is playing until very late in the……process.
Despite the injury, Embiid still can social media better than almost anyone else out there.
