Sixers big man Joel Embiid is fired up to make his NBA debut tomorrow night. I’m pretty sure that we’ll all be watching … except for me. Got that Kanye concert. Is he still performing? Hopefully. Anyway, the one thing I want to put out there is that I feel like it’s still a long shot that Embiid makes it through the season without suffering some sort of injury to his foot. It just feels like we’re cursed. Look at Ben Simmons. Hopefully I’m wrong – because it has been two long years – and JoJo stays healthy all season. Only time will tell!
Here’s a very excited Embiid at practice today. (H/T to Keith Pompey)
