I'm I'm After a ton of optimism on Monday for the Sixth season preview and even looking ahead to the game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, thinking that there's a chance that Joel and B.

He plays some disappointing news on this Tuesday to begin our conversation here on the P. PHLY Sixers podcast. Welcome to the show

presented by Rothman Orthopedics alongside Derek Bodner, Kyle Newbeck. I'm Devon Givens. On this

Tuesday, the NBA season opener tonight, two games. Well, of course, we've got to talk about the

sixes and tomorrow because Paul George and Joel Embed will be out. Brianna is here producing all of you in the chat great to be with you but we have to

give an update for the news that dropped a little bit earlier today uh right after practice for the

philadelphia 76ers going through a workout if you watch both derrick botner and kyle newbeck

on their on their social media accounts and seeing the videos and the things that they updated you with, they did point out that M.B. got some workout in, got some time in out there on the floor. But then we got the news, Kyle, that while he looked okay, at least, and even yesterday from the workout that you guys witnessed post practice he will not

be suiting up for the 76ers for their season opener against janus and the Milwaukee bucks

yeah so i will for anybody who might have missed it i'll give the official language we got

this morning it's that joel is, quote, responding well to his

individualized plan and is expected to ramp up his return to play activities this week,

including scrimaging. He will not play in games this week and will be re-evaluated this weekend.

So, I mean, first of all, Mia Coppa on my part,

I was convinced that he was going to play

based on the intense workout that we saw yesterday.

Not your for.

Well, you know, it's still, I'm the conduit.

We are the conduits between the team to the fan base.

So I was wrong on my estimation.

You were about as accurate on that one as Zach Berman is on Pop a shot.

Wow.
