Embiid has played in 53 of the team’s 65 games up to this point which isn’t too distant from his professional high of 64 games played in the 2018-19 season. While the large fella will most likely need to play more and pursue the MVP grant, the Sixers would prefer to have him prepared for the postseason. The equivalent for Harden who is managing hamstring issues.

“Joel and James, we kind of have a mapped-out game plan for,” said coach Doc Rivers. “Danny (Green) is getting rest just because he keeps getting injured so we don’t have to worry about him, but even Tyrese has played a lot of minutes. We probably will rest him a game somewhere. He’ll not want that, but we’ll probably be good.”

Kendrick Perkins has even reacted to the move by Doc Rivers in his recent tweet who gave support to the decision made by the sixers management as well.

The last time the Sixers had a consecutive was on March 5 when they took on the Miami Heat out and about on the second evening of one. Solidify didn’t have in that game as the impact of the team’s program to rest him. With a consecutive coming up on Sunday and Monday, Rivers didn’t uncover regardless of whether Harden would be refreshed in both of those games.

“No, but we have a game plan,” Rivers said. “We’re not gonna share it, but we do have a game plan.”
