Joel Embiid is expected to make his season debut Tuesday night for the Philadelphia 76ers. Embiid has not played this season because of what the Sixers called left knee management. Embiid also just finished serving a three-game suspension levied by the NBA for shoving a member of the media.

By his own admission, Embiid says he won’t play back-to-back games this season, meaning he’ll sit out Wednesday against Cleveland. Sixers fans know the routine — tickets for Wednesday on secondary markets such as StubHub are listed as low as $10 in the upper section and for about $30 in the 100 level.
The 2023 NBA MVP, his latest kerfuffle stemmed from his issue with a Philadelphia Inquirer writer who mentioned Embiid’s late brother and his son — both named Arthur — in columns questioning Embiid’s professionalism and effort after not being in shape after he played in the Paris Olympics.
