[Pompey] Joel Embiid (rest) is questionable for tonight’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. James Harden (return to competition conditioning) will remain sidelined.

Some sick stuff from the Sixers
Resting the home opener is disgusting and he and the team should get a ton of shit for it.
I really hope he doesn’t rest for the home opener. Nurse looks like he’s using these games where he’s playing Joel the whole first and third to play him into shape. Blazers are a weak opponent we should blow them out.
Happy home opener for everyone hoping to see the MVP
Ok Maxey 50pt game incoming
Dude’s already potentially resting three fucking games into the season while out of shape, like every year, and for the home opener no less?
This team is so unlikeable.
Do I at least get a opening day Tshirt? I bought tickets to see Maxey AND Embiid.
I really don’t understand why the league scheduled us like this this early
out for rest for the home opener is embarrassing
“Return to competition conditioning”
Resting on the home opener? The fuck. Embiid is definitely not beating the soft allegations with that lmao
Yay more *checks notes* Mo Bamba??
Rest? Wtf. Season just started
Maxey 50+ bomb incoming
Nice of the team to give me all those hours back since they don’t give a shit about the Sixers either
He’s probably gonna play. Hope I don’t jinx it but literally Joel played in like 90% of the games he was listed as questionable in
As much as I like Embiid as a talent and a force, having to worry about his health is exhausting
Lmao season just started and you’re sitting out? Wtf???
is he officially out? it says questionable
Resting the home opener is lame af. Maxey would never lmao.
In all seriousness though, that’s mad shitty to the fans.
I’m curious if Hardens going to be on the bench tonight
I’d be so fucking pissed if I bought tickets for the home opener. I love Joel (obviously, that’s why I’d be pissed lol) but this is the exact thing the NBA is trying to curtail.
He better be playing. You simply cannot start with this load management already, especially on a home opener. Play, try to blow them out and sit the 4th. Embarrasing if he doesn’t play
Booo it’s the fucking home opener
nba scheduling is cheeks.
reduce the number of games and get rid of back to backs already it’s 2023.
Bruh literally came all the way from Australia to watch this game…
We will handle Portland easy without Embiid. We actually move the ball like a team when he’s not playing. Way more fun to watch.
