Philadelphia: So, guess what? Joel Embiid is back! The big guy will be starting for the 76ers against the Charlotte Hornets tonight. The team just announced it, and fans are buzzing.
He had a little setback with a sinus fracture last Friday when they played the Pacers. The team said he’d be checked out in a week, but here we are, just four days later, and he’s ready to roll.
He didn’t wear a mask during warmups, but he’ll have one on during the game. This is a big deal because it’s only the fourth time this season that Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey are all playing together. They’ve had a bit of a rough patch, going 1-2 in the last three games.
Luckily for Embiid, he only missed one game, which was Monday’s win over the Hornets. So, he’s back just in time to help the team keep the momentum going!
