76ers giant Embiid missed today's MVP matchup with Jokic due to injury
2023-03-28 15:05Joel Embiid, the 29-year-old center of the Philadelphia 76ers, will miss today's NBA regular-season game against the Denver Nuggets due to a calf injury, missing the MVP matchup with Nuggets core Nikola Jokic, 28 .
The 76ers officially announced before the game that Embiid's right calf had muscle tension, so the team decided to let the offensive lineman rest in the last 8 games of the NBA regular season this season, and Embiid Excluded from today's lineup against the Nuggets.
The team's decision also canceled the much-anticipated battle for this season's MVP contender. Both Embiid and Jokic are popular candidates for MVP this season. Last season, Embiid, Jokic and Milwaukee Bucks 28-year-old forward Giannis Antetokounmpo were all included in the MVP3 list. The list, but in the end Jokic won the MVP award again and again.
Although Embiid missed the MVP award last season, he still won the NBA scoring champion, the third annual second team, and the fifth All-Star this season.
With the help of Embiid this season, the 76ers ranked third in the Eastern Conference with a record of 49 wins and 26 losses to secure a playoff spot, but they were 2.5 wins behind the second-ranked Boston Celtics. 2 games ahead of the No. 4 Cleveland Cavaliers.
With the help of Jokic, the Nuggets led the Western Conference with a record of 51 wins and 21 losses, leading the second-ranked Memphis Grizzlies by 3 games and becoming the top of the Western Conference.
Embiid missed the MVP matchup with Jokic today, and the two teams have great prospects for competition in the playoffs this season. I believe these two MVP contenders will enter the NBA Finals and have a wonderful confrontation .
