The Truth Is Out There
Nuggets 3-1 SU and ATS first game back off a 5+ road trip since 2021.
Solid before 2021 as well but trends/stats pre-Plandemic are pointless.
Embiid banged his knee last game as well, only playing for Adam Silver and probably MVP purposes.
Very surprised he didn't avoid this game...

Not after last night.....the 30+ streak is over too. Looked like he phoned it in after the first 5 jumpers clanged of the back rim. Scored in the paint maybe twice? Looked like he wanted to be a Draymond/Jokic facilitator. Made some nice passes but guys weren't finishing for shit.
I shut it off after he came out in the 3rd with Philly down 14, figured he was done for the night. I guess they made a run so Nurse puts the starters back out there and Kuminga does a leg drop on a sitting Embiid with 4 minutes left send him hobbling off, again down 14.
I think it's over for him on the post season awards. And frankly, it should be. If you can only play 70-75% of games I don't care what your averages are in the games you played, you're providing replacement player value in the other 30% of games.
I can see the 65 game minimum being a one-and-done, but maybe the league should calculate player stats for award consideration based on a combination of their own stats when they play plus replacement level stats for the games they miss. Now you're getting a fuller picture of what players actually produce for the full season.
How does Jokic compare to Embiid when the Joker has 74 games of his stats and 8 games of replacement player stats when Embiid is 60 games his own and 22 replacement games? I bet it would look a lot different.
