"Sixers prioritize health for playoffs as James Harden sits out against Suns"

Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers and star player Joel Embiid prioritize staying healthy for the playoffs over securing a higher seed in the NBA standings. Despite being in the MVP race, Embiid says his focus is on the playoffs and being 100% healthy. The Sixers are currently in third place in the Eastern Conference and need to finish at least one game ahead of the Boston Celtics to secure the No. 2 seed. However, Rivers emphasizes that the team will do what's best for their own health and not worry about what others say.
