Daily News | Doc Rivers impressed with Sixers star Joel Embiid’s return and recovery from knee sprain
The Sixers center being questionable is as common as morning coffee. Over the years, it has become a procedural approach for the newly-minted MVP’s many ailments. Friday night’s injury report is only the latest example.
“He did good,” Doc Rivers said, “and his numbers were great. That’s the one thing, watching all the [physical tracking] numbers we track, all his numbers were great last night.”Consider Game 2 a scheduled loss for the Sixers and a rehab session for Joel Embiid. Game 3 will be different.“More importantly, great for him to be able to do it and see that he can do it,” Rivers said, “and then have very little swelling or anything like that. That’s what we needed to find out in a lot of ways.
Part of that was caused by the Celtics’ pressure. But Rivers said the Sixers will be better Friday. But the Sixers must also provide stiffer defense. The Sixers gave the Celtics space to move the ball freely in Game 2.
