Mitchell Robinson is starting to settle in with the Boston Celtics, but now he'll be tasked with proving he can handle Joel Embiid. If Embiid can simply not dominate, that's a good sign for both Robinson and Boston.
Hardwood Houdini's Matt John writes that Boston Celtics center Mitchell Robinson faces his toughest test yet against Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers.
