Sixers host Thunder as we await Joel Embiid’s return

Coming off a road win in Toronto, the Philadelphia 76ers return home tonight to face their toughest opponent remaining among their seven final regular season games. Oklahoma City currently reside in first place in the Western Conference, a half-game up on Denver and one game ahead of Minnesota. Every game obviously counts a great deal for the young Thunder as they look to secure the West’s top seed for the first time since the 2012-13 season.

For the Sixers, one story is dominating the minds of the fan base at the moment: will Joel Embiid make his return tonight?
