[Saba Sports News] Joel Embiid is on the brink of finally making his season debut for the Philadelphia 76ers.
The All-Star center was absent from Monday’s injury report, indicating he’s expected to play Tuesday against the New York Knicks. Embiid had missed the first nine games as the team carefully managed his knee health. With the Sixers starting the season at 2-7, and both Paul George and Tyrese Maxey also sidelined at times, Embiid’s return couldn’t come soon enough—though his minutes may be managed initially.
Expectations are high for Embiid, who has faced criticism over his availability. After recent tensions, his return to the court should be a relief for both the team and its fans.
