Dr. Martin O’Malley also did Joel Embiid’s second foot surgery. Embiid will be limited to 12 minutes tonight, Jahlil Okafor will not play, and Nik Stauskas could play some point guard. Things could be more exciting.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
