Sixers big man Joel Embiid will play vs. Timberwolves despite back issue

Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid will play against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Philadelphia 76ers are hitting the road against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night and they will have their star big man in the lineup after being listed as questionable.

Joel Embiid took a hard fall in Wednesday’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers at the hands of LeBron James and he was listed as questionable, but the big fella is all set to go for Friday’s game.

It’s important that Embiid continues to get the necessary court time with guys like Seth Curry and Danny Green moving forward. They need to build the chemistry the group needs in order to be at their best as the season moves forward.

The Sixers are a perfect 10-0 when their projected starting lineup plays so they will be looking to keep that going with another win on Friday. Minnesota will be missing Karl-Anthony Towns who is out due to the league’s health and safety protocols, but they will still be a tough matchup all night long.
