Did the Philadelphia 76ers bring Joel Embiid back too soon vs. the Boston Celtics?

After being named the 2022-23 Most Valuable Player, star Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid returedn to the 76ers’ starting lineup after missing two games and nearly two weeks with an LCL sprain in his right knee.

The return didn’t go as well as he would have hoped. Philadelphia was blown out, 121-8,7 by the Boston Celtics in Game 2 Wednesday night.

Outside of a monstrous five blocks (all in the first half), Embiid was relatively quiet — still clearly hampered by his injury.

Was it a mistake to bring Joel Embiid back in Game 2? Did the 76ers make a mistake by bringing him in too early after taking Game 1?

Join the hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast Bobby Manning and Josue Pavon as they discuss Joel Embiid in his return to play against Boston on Wednesday evening.
