Honestly have no idea what we’re arguing about anymore.
We knew coming into the Philadelphia 76ers’ upcoming back-to-back that Joel Embiid would not be playing both games. We suspected the same for Paul George.

At so many points during his injury-plagued 19-game campaign a season ago, it was reasonable to think Joel Embiid may never play over 40 minutes in an NBA game again, let alone nearly 48. Even now, he might not be too hot on that prospect. “He walked into the locker room after the game and […]
