Sixers look to seize back momentum as series shifts to Philadelphia

From one perspective, everything is going well for Philadelphia. The Sixers stole a game in Boston, wresting home-court advantage away from the Celtics in their best-of-seven series. If the Sixers win every one of their home games from here on out, they’re NBA champions. (What could go wrong?) Joel Embiid returned to action in Game 2 after missing two games with a sprained LCL. After the game, Embiid said he felt good, then reportedly experienced no swelling the next day. He was listed as questionable on yesterday evening’s injury report. All signs are pointing up regarding the 2022-23 MVP’s health, who even while working through his rust made a significant difference on the defensive end of the court in his Game 2 return.
