Is Joel Embiid Playing Tonight vs Nets? 76ers Release Injury Report Ahead of Game 2 of the First Round 

The NBA Playoffs are here at last and just like you, we are equally excited to tune in each night to watch the best teams in the NBA vie for the ultimate crowning achievement in a season. Ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers‘ clash with the Brooklyn Nets, the question remains, will Joel Embiid play tonight?

The series is an intriguing one and not in a good way. Sure it is a matchup of the 3rd and 6th seeds but the 76ers are overwhelming favorites in this series.

The Brooklyn Nets on the other hand is merely a playoff team. Mikal Bridges is truly showing that he is a star but the fragility of his emergence means that it is a spark that won’t make a difference.

So, will Joel Embiid play tonight?
