Joel Embiid was ruled out for the entire opening week of the season, while Paul George will be re-evaluated later in the week. 

Obviously, that’s not the best news in the world but what can ya do? 

I honestly don’t even know what Philadelphia 76ers fans want at this point. Fans are now bitching and complaining because we’re starting the season without Joel Embiid and Paul George after they spent an entire Summer moaning about prioritizing health above everything. 

I really do not care if Embiid and PG don’t play a single game until Christmas. Hell, if the Sixers can survive, I’m open to pushing that until after the NBA Trade Deadline in February. 

After the Bucks head to South Philly, the 76ers will hit the road to play the Toronto Raptors and Indiana Pacers on Friday and Sunday.

Next Wednesday, they’ll return home to host Tobias Harris and the Detroit Pistons.
