As the Philadelphia 76ers begin a 3-game road trip on Sunday when they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will have their complete starting lineup on the second night of a back-to-back and that includes their star big man.
After being questionable for this matchup due to left ankle soreness, Joel Embiid will give it a go on Sunday against a Cavs team that is equally as banged up with them missing a few main pieces such as Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley.
With Embiid in the lineup, the Sixers will rock with the regular starters in himself, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris, and Matisse Thybulle. If they can pick up a win in this one, they will clinch a playoff spot for the fifth straight season.
The Sixers are coming off a dominant win on Saturday over the Charlotte Hornets where Embiid did a little bit of everything. They will need him to do it again on Sunday to lead the way with tipoff from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse set for 6 p.m. EDT.
