Joel Embiid sitting out the All-Star Game would benefit both him and the Sixers
The six-time All-Star center must be healthy and play at an elite level for the 76ers to make a deep postseason run. He has to know that.
Playing Sunday night won’t help the Sixers reach the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2001. Playing in this game won’t shore up their defensive shortcomings nor tighten up Embiid’s two-man game with All-Star snub James Harden. Being able to converse with his All-Star brethren and showcasing his skills in the league’s top exhibition game are two benefits for Embiid peersonally.
