As far as he is concerned Hardenthings are more complicated, as the team’s coach stated: “We don’t want him to play if he has discomfort. If he hurts enough, I won’t even put him in the next game. We are at this point. If it was earlier in the year, we would say that everyone is playing. But we’ve been to the playoffs two years in a row with injuries. And we all learned, we all know you don’t win in the playoffs if your core players aren’t healthy. So we will do everything we can to be healthy.”

Joel Embiid has mild right calf tightness. He did not play second half. He is expected to play Friday. Doc Rivers says he is not concerned but they are going on a long flight with 3 more games on West Coast and out of precaution they sat Joel second half
