The Philadelphia 76ers will play host to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday afternoon as they look to continue their winning ways. While the NBA world will have its eyes fixated on the center matchup, these teams are among the best in the league.
Joel Embiid, who was listed as questionable for this one due to left foot soreness, will play for the Sixers. He has been dealing with this foot issue for quite some time, but Philadelphia has made sure he is ready to go for these games.
For Denver, Nikola Jokic will also play after being listed as probable, so everybody will get their Embiid vs. Jokic matchup in a Saturday matinee.
Joel Embiid is officially in. Regular starting lineups. #Sixers
