Kristaps Porzingis said his knee is nothing too serious. He got the injury on a collision with Julius Randle during one of Randle’s drives. He said he won’t know his status for tonight until closer to game time.

And they’re playing flop god Embiiese today smh
No JB and no KP would be quite the challenge
Sit him
Who cares? SIXERS WILL BE OUR BITCH FOREVER
While I would love him for this rematch with the sixers, it’s still just a November regular-season game at the end of the day so would rather him sit if there’s any doubt.
Really want to see him stay healthy. He’s been awesome. Probably our 2nd best player so far this season forming a genuine Big 3.
i wonder if embiid will sit he went all out yesterday in their loss playing almost 40 mins
if he plays he’ll be huffing and puffing by the 4th
Neemias Queta. It begins.
Meaningless November game. No reason to take any chances.
I don’t care if we lose all 4 regular season games against the Sixers as long as we beat them in the playoffs. Hell they can even take the IST for all I care. Goal for the regular season is building chemistry, staying healthy, and getting at least a 6 seed seed to avoid the play-in.
I recall this drive and thought it was a bit of a dick move by Randle. No surprise really.
Don’t play please.
Do what is best for June not November
It’s probably unlikely that we win without him but I’d much rather he rest and not risk Embiid falling on him. It’s November, no need to push it
Bubble wrap this man even if he wants to play, it’s a meaningless November game, which there is a good chance we win even if KP and JB are out
Sidenote – not that it really matters, but I swear every talk show waits for the Celtics to lose a game before talking about them. Mum was the word until the C’s lost to Philly/Twolves. Also C’s never get any games on TNT I swear. TNT crew never talks about them. Only mention is Chuck screaming over everyone that they are the best team in the NBA as they cut to commercial.
It’s a big game today, but I’d prefer KP rest up as much as possible come post season. Best record in the East would be sweet, but there is a ton of regular season left and I’d rather our guys be 100% come playoff time.
That being said, if KP and the Coaching/Medical staff thinks he’s good to go, I see no reason not to believe them.
Force him to sit. Embiid falls too much(for his own safety I believe), for me to feel comfortable.
