Joel Embiid Expected To Play Heavy Minutes During Playoffs
5 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is expected to see around 38 minutes per game during the postseason, according to head coach Brett Brown. He is averaging 30.2 minutes over the 44 games he's played during the 2019-2020 season. Embiid was playing 34.8 minutes during his first playoff run, and 30.4 minutes last season. The health and durability of Embiid has been a huge concern for the team since he came into the league. It appears the organization feels that Embiid is ready for more playing time. He should have increased fantasy value with more minutes, but we'll see if the Sixers actually go through with their plan.
