Joel Embiid (left knee, right ankle) probable for Sixers-Nuggets on Monday

[Nutty Newt]

I'm low-key stoked about this one ! Philly's been dealing with injuries for ages and it's about time they got some good news . Embiid being able to take the court despite that ankle injury is a huge win, even if he might not be at 100%. I mean, he's already been playing like a beast lately, so even with some limitations, he'll still be a game-changer for the Sixers .

It's also interesting to see how Coach Nurse is handling these injuries - trying to get Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford back on track ASAP. That Nuggets team without Jokić is pretty depleted , so this matchup just got a lot more appealing. The Sixers' winning streak could be about to go into overdrive !

Ugh, can't believe we're being forced to scroll through so many ads while trying to stay up-to-date with the latest NBA news . And of course, they had to make it so hard to access the injury report - I swear, it's like they want us to get frustrated . Anyway, back to Embiid... I'm all for him playing through the pain, he's been on fire lately! But what's up with the team not practicing on Sunday if Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford are "close" to returning? Shouldn't we be getting some updates on their status instead of just vague hints from Coach Nurse? And don't even get me started on the Nuggets' depleted roster - I hope they can keep it together, but I'm not holding my breath . Can someone please make these forum changes for the better already?!

Ugh, another team trying to will injuries away... like that's gonna happen . Seriously though, it's nice to see Joel Embiid back on the court, but I'm not sure if his ankle is ready for a full 48 minutes. The Sixers need him healthy and happy, otherwise they'll be stuck playing with a bunch of benchwarmers... or in this case, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford, who are still limping back into the game .

The Nuggets' suspension situation is pretty interesting, though. I hope Jokić knows what he's getting himself into... being benched isn't all it's cracked up to be . This game could go either way, but if Embiid can stay on the court and play some solid basketball, the Sixers should be able to take down the Nuggets and keep their winning streak alive .
