Joel Embiid's Load Management | Skip Him...

Josh Lloyd, Locked On Podcast Network
About this episode

In this episode, we begin with the latest update on Joel Embiid's injury management plan, as the Sixers announce he won't be playing back-to-backs this season due to knee concerns, a decision that could significantly impact Fantasy Basketball strategies. We then explore a unique mock draft approach, where the host selects players based solely on Yahoo's ADP, setting aside his usual valuation methods to test the "wisdom of crowds" approach. The discussion also covers the 76ers' decision to rest Paul George during back-to-backs, despite no current injuries, and how this might affect veteran player management in fantasy leagues. Additionally, we delve into Andre Drummond's inconsistent playing time and its impact on his fantasy value, particularly in relation to Embiid's availability.
