Playoff Bell Ringer: Joel Embiid plays, but Sixers drop Game 1 to Atlanta, 128-124

Sixers Bell Ringer playoff standings:

Ben Simmons - 2
Tobias Harris - 1
Joel Embiid - 1
George Hill - 1

Pre-game, everything was coming up Milhouse for the Sixers. Joel Embiid was declared healthy enough to play and would start, De’Andre Hunter was a late-game scratch for Atlanta, and Embiid and Triple H came out for an absolutely legendary Bell Ringer ceremony, complete with a Thrust the Process for the ages.

Then, the game started. And Doc Rivers used Danny Green on Trae Young, which proved to be a big mistake.
