BOSTON – The 76ers will tell you there’s no timeline for Joel Embiid to be cleared to play on back-to-back nights.
However, the center, who wants to play every night, has a time in mind.
“I just need not to take days off,” Embiid said after Thursday’s shoot-around for that night’s game against Boston Celtics at TD Garden. “It’s not on me. It’s on the medical staff. But hopefully, back-to-backs by the end of this month, I will be allowed to play.”
The Sixers’ only remaining back-to-back situation this month will come Jan. 28 at the Oklahoma City Thunder and Jan.
