Joel Embiid To Remain On Minutes Restriction On Friday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee, injury management) will be limited to 20 minutes of play time in the team's NBA Cup game against the Boston Celtics on Friday, according to head coach Nick Nurse. That's in line with Embiid's minutes so far this year. He's averaging 21 minutes per game in three contests, and reached a season-high 23 minutes against Washington on Tuesday. The restrictions are a part of a long-term plan to take things slow with the seven-time All-Star after offseason surgery. The minutes cap has brought Embiid's averages down (16.3 points, five rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game), making him a shaky fantasy asset until his minutes increase.
