Joel Embiid Remains Sidelined On Friday Against Nuggets
48 seconds agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will remain seated for Friday's matchup against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. The team has already ruled him out due to injury management for his knee along with Andre Drummond (toe). That means Guerschon Yabusele will get all of the big man minutes he can handle while Adem Bona plays the backup role again. Yabusele has averaged 12.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.4 threes per game over the last five contests. He remains the best streaming option while Bona can help with some boards (5.2 per game over last five games) and blocks (1.2) in deeper leagues.
