Embiid in Denver: A Tale of Two Cities (and a Whole Lot of Sitting)
Ah, Joel Embiid and Denver. A matchup that's as exciting as a bowl of lukewarm oatmeal... unless you're a Denver Nuggets fan, then it's like Christmas morning with extra altitude. Why? Because for some reason, Embiid has a history of missing games in the Mile High City.

Where's Waldo? But Make it Embiid
Embiid has played the Denver Nuggets a total of 9 times in his career. Sounds like a decent sample size, right? Well, here's the kicker: Embiid has only graced Denver with his presence a measly two times. That's right, folks, Denver fans have seen Embiid suit up less often than a groundhog sees its shadow.
This has become a bit of a running joke in the NBA. Denver fans hold up signs, playfully boo him when he does show up, and probably chant "M-V-P... Maybe next year in Philly?" Embiid, ever the comedian, even used Allen Iverson's step-over move against the Nuggets once, a subtle jab at their frustration.

Theories on Embiid's Disappearing Act
So why the disappearing act in Denver? Here's what the rumor mill is churning:
- Altitude Sickness? Maybe Embiid just gets a bad case of the wooziness at 5,280 feet. Denver should send him some oxygen masks, just in case.
- Load Management Extravaganza: Perhaps the 76ers are being super cautious with their star player. Embiid might be allergic to high-fives from Nuggets fans (highly unlikely, but hey, we gotta explore all options).
- He Just Doesn't Like the Chicken: Denver is known for its delicious wings. Maybe Embiid is worried he'll get too distracted by the food scene and miss the game entirely.
In all seriousness, the exact reason for Embiid's Denver absences is unknown. Injuries, coach's decisions, or maybe Embiid just prefers cheesesteaks over Rocky Mountain oysters, who knows?
