Embiid said tonight’s loss was on him and that the layoff wasn’t an excuse for not executing in crunch time.

My @PrizePicks for Wolves-Sixers
Vanderbilt over 6.5 pts
– Take advantage of KAT likely being out
Green over 6.0 pts
– Wolves D susceptible to shifting perimeter spacer
DLo over 18.5 pts, under 6.0 asts
– This game will call for more DLo shooting/scoring pic.twitter.com/FUwJr2xwwc – 5:23 PM

We’ve got a Joel Embiid sighting.
Embiid has missed the previous 9 games in the league’s health and safety protocols. He’s officially listed as questionable for tonight’s game against the Wolves, with a final determination made after his pregame routine. pic.twitter.com/C2CuZ273RI – 5:18 PM
