Joel Embiid sits out as 76ers zip past Nets 107

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — After eight straight wins to end the regular season, the 76ers are set for their first play-in tournament.

Joel Embiid expects to be along for the ride.

Embiid sat out Philadelphia’s 107-86 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday as a precaution, two days after he tweaked his surgically repaired left knee. Tyrese Maxey scored 26 points and Tobias Harris had 21 points to lead the Sixers.

Last season’s NBA MVP, Embiid wasn’t needed in the rout, but he’ll be in the lineup when the 76ers host Miami on Wednesday night in the NBA play-in tournament. The winner secures the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference and gets a playoff series against the second-seeded New York Knicks.

The loser will host either Atlanta or Chicago on Friday to determine the No. 8 seed and who will face No. 1 seed Boston in the first round.

“We’ve got a good mindset, I think, and we’ll just take that into Wednesday,” Sixers coach Nick Nurse said.
