No Joel Embiid last night for the Sixers, who will have to wait a few weeks before being able to count on the Cameroonian pivot. But there was good news last night it was the return of Ben Simmons. Contact case, he had to observe a week of quarantine. Her hairdresser had tested positive.
“It was more disappointing than anything because I just had my hair cut in the morning and then went to Atlanta for the All-Star Game. Then I was told that my hairdresser was positive. He texted me saying he was sorry. But it’s like that. Everything that’s going on right now is crazy. It remains my hairdresser no matter what. ” Simmons
