The 76ers are currently facing game 2 of the Heat series, and while Joel Embiid, who is the center of the 76ers, won't be playing, there's good news about Embiid's injury.
According to the US media and John Clark, Embiid's injury recovery is progressing well and there is hope for the next series G3:
Embiid is still dealing with injuries with his own thumb fracture and torn ligament, and for the 76ers, the team will definitely hope that Embiid can get back to health as soon as possible.
On the other hand, US media Sam Amik revealed Harden's contract on a show and said that Harden may be willing to accept staying with the 76ers in a pay cut:
If Harden rejects the $47.4 million player option for the 2022-23 season, he will also be able to become a free agent after the 2021-22 season, when he will also have the opportunity to sign a five-year, $270 million contract with the 76ers.
Finally, TNT analyst Charles Barkley criticized DeAndre Jordan ahead of Game 2 of the 76ers against the Heat, and Barkley said that Jordan Jr.'s career should end and he should no longer be on the current league floor:
However, the current situation is that in embiid's absence, the 76ers head coach will still insist on jordan jr. as the team's starting center, and it will be worth looking forward to how Jordan Jr. can perform in Game 2 of the series.
