Joel Embiid not focused on James Harden situation
Joel Embiid says he doesn’t know if James Harden is going to play for the 76ers. That’s not his focus. “I think everybody in this locker room has been focused on — we’re playing,” Embiid said. “We’ve got games every single day. That’s up to the guys upstairs and management to figure out what’s going to happen. We’ve got a pretty good team.”

Joel Embiid put out his statement of intent for a new 76ers season Sunday in Philly’s home opener. And with four Degeneration-X crotch chops, he also allowed himself to have a little fun again, a throwback to himself and a sign of lighter times there

Nick Nurse says James Harden was here for the team’s video work and walkthrough ahead of tonight’s game. He’s expected to be in practice Tuesday. Nurse said the hope is to get Harden into “live action” then. Harden has yet to play in a preseason or regular season game this year. – 5:50 PM
