Shams also notes that Harden actively engaged in the team’s pregame rehearsal earlier today. Nevertheless, earlier in the day, he appeared sidelined as he worked on his recovery to regain his competitive edge.
Additionally, Joel Embiid is set to undergo various assessments to ascertain his availability for tonight’s game, Keith Pompey of Philly Inquirer notes.
The test results returned positive, and Joel Embiid is set to take the court tonight; he’s been given the green light to play. He’ll be joining Maxey, Harrison, Tucker, and Melton as the starting lineup against the Blazers.
