Joel Embiid, James Harden will play vs. Mavericks
Mar 29, 2023 - 11:08 PMJoel Embiid and James Harden will both suit up for Wednesday’s game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Dallas Mavericks. Embiid missed Monday’s loss against the Denver Nuggets because of right calf tightness, which he aggravated during a rout of the Chicago Bulls on March 22.
Meanwhile, Harden is back in the lineup after missing the past four games because of left Achilles soreness. The Sixers won their first game without him on March 22 against Chicago, but are riding a three-game losing streak since.
