Despite the looming threat of the play-in tournament for the 76ers, Joel Embiid’s recovery might soften the blow of having to win an extra game to advance to the NBA playoffs 2024.
A recognized player with seven All-Star titles had to step back from a game in January due to a meniscus injury that necessitated surgery.
The 76ers have struggled this season in the absence of their superstar player. They are 14-27 without Embiid on the roster this season. Even though they are still 8th in the Eastern Conference with a 40-35 record, the Sixers’ chances of making it deep into the postseason aren’t looking good despite Embiid’s imminent return. Skip Bayless explained why he is prepared to downplay the 76ers’ playoff potential despite the return of their centerpiece, who was the MVP frontrunner before his injury.
Initially, it was unclear whether Embiid would get the green light to play before the regular season wraps up.; it seems like he’ll have the opportunity to dust off and prep before the intense competition for the Larry O’Brien trophy kicks off.
Although the 76ers have marked Embiid out for the game on Tuesday, it’s believed his comeback is just around the corner.
