Although Joel Embiid is not currently suffering from an injury, the Philadelphia 76ers will not use him on Wednesday night against Utah (at 3am in the LEAGUE PASS). The franchise announced this on Monday.
With the justification “Load Management” embiid against jazz will be missing, although there are four days off between the last game against Pacers and the match against Utah. Embiid has played eight out of nine games so far, scoring a strong 20.5 points and 10.1 rebounds in 27.6 minutes of time.
The sixers, however, are sticking to their lavish medical records and don’t use Embiid in every match,”I’m sticking to the instructions of our medical team. There is a well thought-out strategy, which is why this plan has been recommended,”said Coach Brett Brown on Monday.
The sixers are among the positive surprises of the young season with a 5-4 record, which is due to Rookie Ben Simmons and Embiid. Philly’s game against jazz marks the beginning of a nine-day away trip for Philly. At the next game, however, the Cameroonian is expected to be back in the Starting Five.
