Tuesday night was supposed to be Joel Embiid vs. Ben Simmons, but that’s not gonna happen.

According to Sixers PR, Embiid will miss the next two games due to a mid-foot sprain and his status “will be re-evaluated in the coming days.”

So no Embiid, no James Harden, no Tyrese Maxey. Is Embiid DUCKING Ben Simmons? 610-632…..

I don’t have much else to write in this blog post, but it’s worth pointing out that Ben is starting to figure it out in Brooklyn. He’s playing his best basketball after enduring a really shitty start to the year:

Ben Simmons last 3 games:

22 PTS, 8 REB, 5 AST, 85% FG
15 PTS, 13 REB, 7 AST, 100% FG
11 PTS, 5 REB, 3 AST, 71% FG pic.twitter.com/20iHB8kdnQ
