The Nuggets’ Michael Malone seems to criticize the 76ers and Joel Embiid over his injury status.

People were very upset when they heard that Embiid, 25, would not be able to play in Saturday’s game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Denver Nuggets.

It meant that fans wouldn’t get to see another round of the rivalry between Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokić. It also seems to have confused Denver coach Michael Malone.

In Philadelphia’s last six games, Embiid played in five of them. One of those games was against the Nuggets, and he scored 41 points, had 10 assists, and grabbed seven rebounds.

After hearing the news, Malone talked about it and said he thought the league would be looking into Embiid’s absence.

“I do not understand how you can go from being busy and available to being away.” I’m sure that the organization will do what they need to do. “Because that’s not cool,” Malone told the news media after the game.

“And we’ve talked with our league about it this year, and they told us that if a player moves from being active to being out, there will be an investigation.”

The Nuggets coach said he felt his team “let down” when they found out Embiid wouldn’t be playing right before the game. This is a confusing string of comments.

It will be interesting to find out if Malone’s hope that an investigation will happen comes true.

No matter what, the Nuggets won 111–105 thanks to a strong offensive effort that saw four players score 18 or greater points. He had 26 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists, which was the most on the team.

NBA star Joel Embiid didn’t play with the Denver Nuggets in Saturday night until very late. Embiid was listed as available at first, but he was ruled out just minutes before the game started.

When asked about it after the game, Michael Malone, the head coach of the Nuggets, told what he thought.

Malone joked, “Woj called me,” when requested how he knew Embiid wasn’t going to play. “We found out after the fact.” I don’t understand how you can go from being busy and available to being alone.

Because that’s not done, I’m positive the league will be doing their fair share. This year, there were times when we talked to the league, and they told us that if someone goes from having been active to being out, there will be an investigation. I’m sure that will happen, then.”

Malone went on, “[Embiid] hurt his left knee in the game against Indiana.” It’s true. We saw the game. I’m sure he is hurt because he hurt his knee during the Indiana game.

But it’s really hard when a player falls sick at the last minute while the team is getting ready for them. There are times when we need to handle things better, though.

The Philadelphia 76ers went to see the NBA champion Denver Nuggets on Saturday afternoon. If you looked at the roster, you would have thought it would be a blowout.

Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris, De’Anthony Melton, Robert Covington, Mo Bamba, and finally, just before the game, Joel Embiid joined the list of players who couldn’t play because they were on the road.

Even though they didn’t have any of those things, the Sixers were ahead in the final period and almost won a big game before the Nuggets won 111–105.

Embiid is the subject of some debate because he wasn’t listed as hurt before the game and looked like he was moving around.

That meant that Embiid and Nikola Jokic could not play, but the Sixers gave the Nuggets anything they could handle.

He told reporters after the game, “We found out very late, and I don’t know how you go from staying active and available to being out.” “I’m sure that the league is going to do what it needs to do because that’s not cool.”

This year there have been problems, and we’ve talked with our league about them. They told us that if a player changes from being active to being out, there will be an investigation. That’s certain to happen.

It is important to remember that Embiid did hurt his left knee in the first game of the trip, a loss to the Indiana Pacers. No, it wasn’t. This was a tough win, and I wasn’t happy with it.

“Real talk: Joel hurt his knee in the IN game. “He hurt his knee while attending the Indiana game if you watched,” Malone said.

“I’m sure he’s hurt, but it’s annoying when a player or a team like ours is getting ready for them and then he gets hurt at the last minute.”

It looked like the Nuggets were poised to win this one easily. Rocky Mountain made three three-pointers in the first quarter, giving Denver a 10-point lead. But the Sixers, who were missing Embiid, tied the game.

We need to handle those situations better, and I thought we did. Jamal made three 3s in a row, putting us up ten points, and I think everyone thought, “Oh yeah, this is going to be easy tonight.”
