Summary

Joel Embiid returned to the court on Tuesday night after a two game absence, but looked like a shell of his typical self. After an ineffective 30 minute stint, which saw the Sixers’ big man shoot just 5-18 from the field and snap his 30-point streak, Jonathan Kuminga landed on Embiid’s injured knee, sending the Sixers’ big man back to the locker room late in their 119-107 loss to the Golden State Warriors. The loss was the Sixers’ fourth straight defeat. Join Kyle Neubeck, Devon Givens and Derek Bodner as they break down the Sixers’ latest loss and debate how the Sixers have handled Joel Embiid’s injury. Learn more about your ad choices.

night. But surprise, surprise, he plays tonight. It is not a good outing overall. So let's just get the guys in now. Get ready to start this conversation. Get to all of you in the chat. We appreciate you hanging out with us for another late night. Derek, what's going on, man? Oh, not much. Not much. I don't even know how to, like, start this. Like, what are we doing? How are you doing, how are you doing, DeVon?

1:11.6

I'm happy to see you doing.

1:13.0

Yeah, you too.

1:14.1

You too.

1:09.7

All right. Derek, I need you to start it and you, Devon, to start it because I need to steal for a Penner, too. Well, right. I'll lose my mind. I'll start because you guys did a lot of it, of course,

And I'm sitting and shaking my head after our conversation last night, just wondering, why is he playing tonight knowing that this is the second night of a back-to-back with the team? But for him, he's not right.
