Joel Embiid Probable for Game 1 vs. Knicks Amid Hip Injury and Criticism

Joel Embiid is listed as probable for Monday's Game 1 against the Knicks due to a hip injury sustained in the Game 7 win over Boston. The MVP is currently facing public criticism from Jaylen Brown regarding "flopping" and is navigating a rivalry with Knicks players Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson. Despite the noise, Embiid remains the focal point of the 76ers' offense as he urges fans to protect home-court advantage.
