The Sixers could definitely use a boost Monday night against the Phoenix Suns at the Wells Fargo Center. The team will look to run their offense through Embiid while Harden remains sidelined for a month with a right foot tendon strain.
Joel Embiid spent an extra 25 minutes following Sunday’s practice working on his cardio.
They could definitely use a boost with him returning Monday night against the Phoenix Suns at the Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers, who are without All-Star James Harden, are looking to avoid their second three-game skid of the early season. But that’s kind of expected, considering he hadn’t played since Oct. 29 and the scrimmage followed a live practice.
House, who has the flu, also missed Sunday’s practice. He and Embiid are officially listed as questionable for Monday’s game on the NBA injury report.“But you got to learn how to win,” he said. “And we’re putting guys in positions, especially without Joel and James that have never been in the position whether they’re the primary ballhandler or primary guy.
The Sixers had two reasons to be frustrated about that play. It was a bad pass and it wasn’t the right play.“That guy never came,” Rivers said. “So Tyrese picked the ball up. Now we are stuck. What bothered everybody with that was we walked over that, because we messed it up in Chicago. Then we did it again.The Sixers play hard. But they must correct their mistakes in order to win.
