For the seventh straight season, the Denver Nuggets will not play against Joel Embiid at the Mile High city. More than anything, it’s an unfortunate reminder of Embiid’s health and how significantly it has impacted what could’ve been an all-time big man rivalry between Embiid and Nikola Jokic. Instead, the Nuggets will face off against VJ Edgecombe, Dominick Barlow, Adem Bona, and the rest of the healthy Sixers.
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn discusses the Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia 76ers matchup tonight and another missed opportunity to see Nikola Jokic vs Joel Embiid. He breaks down Nuggets fans’ most hated players, then discusses NBA Expansion in Seattle and Las Vegas being imminent.
