Joel Embiid's Status vs. Denver Nuggets Revealed

The Philadelphia 76ers do not have Joel Embiid on the injury report

The Philadelphia 76ers are hosting the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night, and everybody is anticipating the Nikola Jokic vs. Joel Embiid matchup. The Nuggets are listing Jokic as probable for this game, but the 76ers do not have Embiid listed on their injury report, meaning he is good to go. 

Jokic being listed as probable means he will likely receive a final status update shortly before game time, but he is expected to play. Jokic was first listed as questionable, but it always seemed reasonable to assume that he would play, as this is not part of a back to back set for the Nuggets. 

This game will be nationally televised on TNT, as basketball fans everywhere have been awaiting this rematch between the NBA's best centers, and arguably two best players this season. Embiid and Jokic are again neck and neck in the MVP race, and while it is still very early, it looks as if these two will again take this race down to the wire. 

Embiid won the MVP award last season after Jokic had won it the two years prior, and it seems neither player is letting up. This always makes their head to head matchups, even more exciting, and this one should be no exception.

Both the 76ers and Nuggets have been playing well, as each team remains in pursuit of the the top spot in their respective conferences.
