Philadelphia may be without star big man Joel Embiid as he has missed three straight games due to a non-COVID illness, but he could return to action Monday.
Coach Doc Rivers said the star big man practiced Sunday and has a “75 percent chance” of being available against the Suns, so it a deandre ayton valley jerseyppears as though Embiid is more probable than questionable based on that designation.
Either way, the Suns will stilJa Morant Jerseysl have their hands full even with James Harden out, the 76ers have a competitive squad despite their rough 4-7 start.

What to watch d booker jersey for
Book being Book
Devin Booker certainly has the 76ers’ number over the years. He averages a career-best 29.7 points per game against Philadelphia in 14 career games.
Booker iNBA Toyss on a 6-game winning streak against the 76ers and 8-6 against phoenix suns nba jersey them all-time. Keep in mind the first six matchups or so came while Phoenix was in rebuild mode. He’s always taken his game up a notch against Philadelphia whether in Phoenix or on the road.
Big man battle?
Joel Embiid’s status is still in the air, but if he does suit up the matchup between he and Deandre Ayton will be one of the key focal points in this contest.
If Embiid can’t go, Montrezl Harrell will likely step into a larger role along with big man Paul Reed. The Suns will need their big man to step up under either scenario to either contain Embiid or take advantage of the smaller bigs in the interior.
Ayton returned this weekend from his ankle injury and posted 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assist in 30 minutes on Friday against the Blazers. He followed that up by a shortened 16 minute run on Saturday where he produced 7 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in limited time due to the back-to-back and comfortable Suns lead.
Stepping up for Cam J
The loss of Cameron Johnson is going to hurt the Suns, there is no question about it. Torrey Craig, Josh Okogie, Damion Lee and Dario Saric were the immediate beneficiaries on Saturday night as far as minute distribution goes.
Though the Blazers were shorthanded, Phoenix holding them to 82 points was an impressive defensive performance. It was a needed display of effort after the disappointing loss the night before.
\"Defensively, I thought we were just locked in.\"
