After Joel Embiid missed the 76ers’ annual road game in Denver for the fifth consecutive season on Tuesday, Nuggets center Nikola Jokic dismissed questions about his counterpart’s absences.

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.
