No way he doesn’t suit up
He’s obviously playing what a joke
Hate it when teams do this. He’s obviously playing. Happens all the time to the Knicks. We’re ready with metal bats either way. WU TANG.
He’s going to play but his health is going to be the primary factor that determines if this will be a shorter series or a long one.
This is going to be a tougher matchup than the Cavs last year. The Knicks need to protect the home court and the guys that helped carry the scoring load all year like Donte, Deuce and Hart really need to show up.
Yeah this just means he’s playing. Maybe not at 100% but he’ll be there.
Pick and rolls and make him guard and move laterally. Let’s see how that knee holds up and how many minutes he will play. I doubt they will push more than like 35 minutes for him.
Hoe franchise
He wants an excuse lol
If he is out, don’t bother showing up for games sixers
Helps the narrative for the Sixers. Makes sense and it’s smart on their end. Obviously he’s playing, but now there’s a built in excuse and less expectations for their stars and the team. He’ll score 40 tonight, and everyone over there has a good storyline win or lose.
probably gonna see a whole lotta zone this series, but we gotta get embiid moving as much as possible
We’ve been polishing the metal bats since Sunday, nice try sixers.
Paul Reed season
This series ova, this series ova. Budubyebye. Lmao.
ATTACK THE SHIT OUT OF THIS MF!

Cap
He will play
Even if his knee is fine medically, his conditioning is terrible. He had his hands on his knees panting most of that play in game. He won’t get up into game shape during this series. Knicks in 5. Gentleman’s sweep. Give them game 3 or 4 in Philly.

Naahhh, get that soft shit outta here, suit up mf & get ready for the smoke
His whole NBA career health was QUESTIONABLE. His playoff performance was always QUESTIONABLE.
KNICKs in 5. Let’s GO
never seen someone more able to play in my life
this is from yesterday. wondering if there’s been any update or they don’t change it until right before the game.
Lining up the excuses as to why they got stopped.
Web Embiid
He’s playing today but Sixers fans that think he can play the entire series with relative health is losing it.
Joel thinking about the metal bats
He can take the whole week off if he needs to .
I hope he does play. He’s not nearly 100%, the sixers will try to run their offense through him and it will result in an empty possession. Saw it time after time in the play in game.
This doesn’t affect anyone not betting on the game. Thibs will have them ready to play whoever shows up
