The Philadelphia 76ers have won three straight games, and they’ll look to keep their winning ways rolling when they host the Denver Nuggets on Monday night.
Potentially making the task of besting Denver easier for the Sixers is the fact that the Nuggets will be without star center Nikola Jokic for the matchup, as the multi-time MVP is sidelined with a knee injury.
Joel Embiid listed as ‘probable’ for game against Nuggets
But, what about Jokic’s counterpart on Philadelphia?
Sixers star center Joel Embiid is listed as “probable” on the official injury report for the contest, indicating that he should be good to go, barring any late setbacks. Embiid’s final status for the game will be announced prior to tipoff.
On the season, Embiid has appeared 16 games for Philadelphia and posted averages of 22.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 blocks per performance.
