The Philadelphia 76ers will host Utah Jazz on Sunday, March 9 at the Wells Fargo Center. The talking point from the game for the 76ers would be whether their star player Joel Embiid starts against the Jazz or not.
Will Joel Embiid play against the Utah Jazz?
The Philadelphia 76ers currently have a record of 21-41 as they are eleventh in the Eastern Conference. The 30-year-old forward is out from the rest of the season due to a knee injury. He will not suit up against the Utah Jazz. His absence is a major blow to the team which is already suffering from many injury issues.
The 76ers have six players on the injury report listed as unavailable that include Tyrese Maxey (back), Paul George (groin) and Kyle Lowry (hip). Rookie Jared McCain is also out from the rest of the season due to a meniscus injury.
The 76ers have struggled throughout the season to find consistency as they are ranked 26th in the league in scoring (109 points per game) and 30th overall in rebounds (39.3 per game). Without Embiid, the 76ers chances to turn their season around looks very thin. Kelly Oubre Jr. has stepped up this season for the 76ers as he averages 15.3 points per game but couldn't lift the team from their below par performances.
Utah Jazz Injury Report
The Utah Jazz enter the contest with their own injury issues. They also have six players listed on the injury report that includes Lauri Markkanen (back) and Jordan Clarkson (foot). Despite their 15-48 record, the team has shown moments of brilliance as they rank ninth in the league in three-pointers made per game (13.9). Keyonte George has stepped up with his performances as he averages 16.6 points and 5.9 assists over the last 20 games.
