Did you have a queasy feeling in your stomach coming into tonight’s game? Well, Joel Embiid did before tip-off tonight. Up until minutes before game-time the 76ers had no idea if the big man would suit up as ‘gastroenteritis’ was the culprit of his discomfort. Amir Johnson had to be activated as an emergency center and Zhaire Smith turned to dust with a Brett Brown snap of the fingers. Thankfully, Embiid was able to go, but how effective would he be?
Let’s just say that there was no (stomach) flu game for Joel-Hans.
