@Denver Nuggets

Wind: Joel Embiid (right calf tightness) and James Harden (left Achilles soreness) both questionable for tomorrow vs. Nuggets.

    šŸ˜‚ handing Jok his 3rd straight mvp.

    The irony is they probably have a better chance to win without him, seeing how Denver plays against real competition vs soft gimme games.

  2. Sleepinginabathtub

    Not playing might unironically be better for Embiid’s MVP chances lmao

  3. He will play, he is just setting up excuses for when they lose.

  4. Zman2734

    Embiid doesnā€™t want to get posterized by Uncle Jeff

  5. What a little fucking bitch Embiid is if he doesnā€™t play. Doesnā€™t want to hurt his MVP chances by getting beat to sleep in Denver.

  6. BoneyardBill

    If he sits Philly fans only gunna cry wolf man. This is defs a ploy to blame a bad game on being hurt.

    Both Adam Mares and Matt Moore called this from Embiid. Thereā€™s so much to lose and very little to gain from Embiid playing in Denver when it comes to the MVP race. However if the Sixers lose and Embiid doesnā€™t play, they will probably have less wins at the end than the nuggets and sometimes that sways MVP voters if you care about that race.

    Cowardice but predictableā€¦

  8. BlindManBaldwin

    Embiid is 100% playing. I don’t believe for a moment he’ll sit out.

  9. Embiid has played in Denver twice in his career, most recently in the 2019-2020 season. Him skipping out would be par for the course.

    They already got a table reserved at Shotgun Willie’s

    Awwwwww come onnnnnnnnnn

    I’m going tomorrow. My friend is a big Philly fan. The past few times we went to the game Embiid didn’t play. I was hoping I’d finally get to see the epic center matchup in person tomorrow. God dammit.

    Save the playoffs and sacrifice MVP.
    Also, Harden the real MVP apparently.

    Welp now I feel like an idiot shelling out for the good tickets on this game, huge bummer for the fans.

    Embiid looking at the calendar and seeing Jokic and Nuggets this weekšŸ˜‚

    I mean they kinda have our number right now. I can see why they wouldn’t want to give us any extra practice against them.

  16. 3sc0barKeeper

    At this point I want Jokic to have a n amazing performance the last games and then handing the MVP to Embiid. Much better for the media focus and to ease Jokics mind. Play-Off is more important and if it helps to tone down the whining I would be glad.

  17. Has anyone pointed out on r/NBA how embiid hasn’t played in Denver since 19/20? if not, if anyone here’s a good enough writer, they could point out to the rest of nba fans how much a coward he is and bring the MVP back to the rightful winner lol

  18. RoryGallagherGoat

    Lol and I got downvoted by people for saying he wonā€™t show up for the next matchup right after the first game.

    Hereā€™s to hoping he actually makes it. I think Embiidā€™s not made for the altitude. He really hasnā€™t played a game in Denver since 2019

    Embid whenever he has to play Jokic on the road.

  20. DirkolaJokictzki

    Can’t ruin his MVP chances by getting exposed

  21. SlipperyTreasure

    We all knew healthy or not he wasn’t planning on playing in this game.
