Is this the end of the long wait for Joel Embiid? Injured since January, the Sixers' colossus is on the comeback trail. In fact, according to ESPN and The Athletic, the 2023 MVP is set to play again...as early as this Tuesday, April 02, when the Sixers host Oklahoma. This is huge news for his team, which has been tongue-tied since his injury.
Without him over the last two months, Philadelphia has posted a dismal record of 11 wins and 18 losses, currently in 8th place in the East. With Joel Embiid, the franchise was virtually unstoppable, with only 26 wins and 6 losses and 5th place in the East. Embiid averaged 35 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 assists and 1 steal.
