Facing the Washington Wizards at 7 PM at the Wells Fargo Center, Joel Embiid and Dario Saric will finally play in front of Philadelphia 76ers fans at home. This will be a special night

In their NBA debut, Joel Embiid scored six points on 33.3 percent shooting, pulled down 4 rebounds, and rejected two shots in 12:57 minutes of play. His international counterpart, Dario Saric, scored 10 points, passed off two assists, pulled down six rebounds, rejected one shot, and shot 66.7 percent from the floor and from beyond the arc.

In short, both were NBA rookies, but both delivered as hoped.

Now the pair is set to deliver for the home crowd tonight at 7:00 PM at the Wells Fargo Center.  If you think this will be just another preseason game, you can forget that notion right here, right now.

Imagine what Christmas morning would be like for children if they had to wait two years. Now, imagine that same Christmas morning where the gifts would double in volume and quality.

That’s close to the experience Philadelphia will have tonight as two long awaited players stand on the basketball court  in the Wells Fargo Center.  In a nutshell, it will be pandemonium.
