Today's NBA regular season ushered in a focus battle, the 76ers at home to meet the Nuggets East and West two-game dialogue. This is also the first time that embiid and Jokic, the core inner lines of both sides, have appeared in a head-on dialogue at the same time since December 10, 2019. Before the game, Kendrick Perkins updated Twitter.
"About Teacher vs. The Emperor!" When was the last time such an anticipated big man showdown was made? Perkins asked.
In the game on December 10, 2019, the 76ers beat the Nuggets 97-92 at home, Jokic had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, and Embiid had 22 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists and took away the game victory.
