Can confirm Joel Embiid has entered the NBA’s Health and Safety Protocols. The Sixers are already without Tobias Harris, who went into them a week ago today. Philly hosts the Knicks tonight and the defending champion Bucks tomorrow, and currently has the East’s best record. – 12:47 PM

Tonight’s game vs. the #Knicks was supposed to be a planned rest day for the Sixers’ Joel Embiid. However, he’s been placed today in the NBA COVID-19 health and safety protocols. As a result, the All-Star center could be sidelined a few games. He’s the fourth Sixers in protocols – 12:22 PM

Despite a constantly fluctuating rotation due to injuries and COVID protocols — plus lingering Ben Simmons situation and Joel Embiid’s shooting struggles — the Sixers have the NBA’s most efficient offense through 10 games. That will be tested this week:

More on this storyline
Shams Charania: Significant amount of 76ers staff has received the COVID-19 booster shot, and players were slated to begin receiving their shots this week. Embiid now could miss several more games in protocols — beyond planned rest tonight. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / November 8, 2021
Noah Levick: Joel Embiid is now the fourth Sixer in the health and safety protocols, source confirms @Shams Charania. He joins Tobias Harris, Isaiah Joe and Matisse Thybulle. -via Twitter @NoahLevick / November 8, 2021
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: What’s especially bothersome is that Aaron Rodgers didn’t just lie and threaten the health of those around him, he also damaged professional sports. Many athletes make a lot of money on product endorsements, which depends on the public’s favorable perception of athletes. In 2020, global sports sponsorship was worth about $57 billion. Yet, every time a pro athlete like Kyrie Irving (anti-vax), Henry Ruggs (speeding at 156 mph, crashing, and killing someone), Evander Kane (forging vaccination card), or Aaron Rodgers does or says something stupid, the public trust in athletes lowers and sponsors might consider avoiding players in favor of actors, pop stars, or social media influencers. Steph Curry and LeBron James don’t have to worry, but some up-and-comers might not get the same opportunities. -via Substack / November 8, 2021
