Out of sight, out of pined. Who needs Joel Embiid? Nikola Jokic-vs.-Victor Wembanyama is the NBA’s best big man tussle now, by default. The fault, in this case, being Embiid’s bum left knee. “I always say this: I think the No.

Joel Embiid can run but can't hide from Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. It's been over five years since the Embiid has played in Denver.

I think that people are making it a bigger story than it is,” Jokic said after Denver’s 144-109 win Denver will visit Philadelphia on Jan. 31. The last time Embiid played at Ball Arena was Nov. 8, 2019.
