Is this a taste of what the Sixers season is going to be like? The Philadelphia franchise in any case has just announced that she was going to host the Bucks on Wednesday evening, without Joel Embiid neither Paul George…
Hampered by his knee, the pivot will not play in the first week of competition, although he will have to be tested in training before having the green light to return to the field. This therefore means that he will not be in uniform in Toronto on Friday or in Indiana on Sunday.
The winger, also affected in the knee, could only miss the first match, if he recovers quickly enough.
Note that the status of Jared McCain has not yet been revealed, the rookie leader having suffered a big scare after falling flat in preseason, and having to take a trip to the hospital in the process.
This first match of the regular season between Philadelphia and Milwaukee will also be marked by absences since, on the Bucks side, we have to do without Khris Middleton.
