First injured, allowed to play then finally suspended, Joel Embiid will have to wait until next week to to start his season. According to ESPN and the New York Postthe return is scheduled for next Tuesday at the Wells Fargo Center against the Knicks, in what will be their first NBA Cup game for both teams.
The Sixers, who have just recovered Paul George, are impatiently awaiting the return of the 2023 MVP in order to launch their season, they who have a sad record of one victory for six defeats. It's the same record as the Bucks, and Philly is in last place in the Eastern Conference!
A million dollar suspension!
The return of Joel Embiid should therefore relieve Tyrese Maxey, the only Sixer to survive with an average of 30.2 points, but who he could meet since the leader was injured last night in Los Angeles…
Last season, Philadelphia did not qualify for the quarter-finals of the NBA Cup (2v-2d), won by the Lakers. Joel Embiid's team will find the Magic, the Nets, the Knicks and the Hornets in its group. As for Joel Embiid, this three-match suspension cost him a million dollars.
