Philadelphia 76ers to rest Joel Embiid against Utah Jazz

When this season got started, talk of minutes restrictions regarding Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid became a sore spot for both parties. As time has passed, Embiid and the team have found a way to better communicate playing time issues and Embiid is off to a solid start to 2017-18. However, it appears the Sixers aren’t about to be reckless with Embiid’s workload and are giving him some rest.
