Joel Embiid to sit out All-Star Game?
Joel Embiid is unsure if his left foot soreness will affect his appearance in the NBA All-Star Game. The 76ers center was selected to start in the game as an injury replacement Friday afternoon. But Embiid indicated it’s no guarantee that he’ll play following that night’s 119-108 victory over the New York Knicks at the Wells Fargo Center. “We will see how it goes,” Embiid said. “I got three games [before the All-Star Game]. So I’m just taking it day by day. So I’m just taking it day-by-day.”

Joel Embiid is questionable for tonight’s game against the Nets. Everybody else is good to go for the Sixers
For the Nets, Seth Curry is out, while Nic Claxton is questionable. Both Cam Johnson and Mikal Bridges are questionable as trade is still pending – 12:48 PM

As usual, Joel Embiid is listed as questionable to play tonight in Brooklyn with left foot soreness. It’s the second night of a back-to-back, but Doc and Embiid would not say following last night’s win over the Knicks if this would be a time he’d get a rest day. – 12:32 PM

FINAL: Sixers 119, Knicks 108. Sixers rallied from 13 down early to snap a two-game skid. Embiid with 35-11-6. Maxey with 27 on 5-of-8 from deep. Harden with 20-80-12. This would be a fun first-round series.
Up next: Tomorrow at Brooklyn. Nothing interesting about that one, eh? – 9:20 PM

That’s a fitting way to end this one: Embiid iso at the nail, doubled by the Knicks, swing for a Maxey 3.
Embiid: 35 points on 14-18 FG with 6 assists
Maxey: 27 points on 9-16 FG, 4-5 from deep – 9:18 PM

Embiid’s had some wild decisions in this fourth quarter, but that was a hell of an and-1 finish to continue his efficient shooting night. He’s 14-of-14 from the floor. Sixers 114, Knicks 108 with about a minute to go. – 9:13 PM

The Sixers beat the top seeded Nuggets, Embiid outplayed Jokic and moved up to 2nd in the MVP ladder, team ranked no. 1 in the NBA . com power rankings. That was just 13 days ago.
Now basically unrecognizable the lasts 5.5 games. – 8:07 PM

Knicks lead the Sixers 36-28 after one quarter. Brunson has 20 points on 8-for-10 shooting – including going 2-for-3 on threes. His last shot was a missed 29-foot three at the buzzer. Embiid has 15 points on 7-for-9 shooting. – 7:37 PM

Knicks 36, Sixers 28 at the end of the first. An unreal start for Philly kid Jalen Brunson, who dropped 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting and added three rebounds and two assists. Embiid with 15 and 4. Both teams shooting over 54 percent. – 7:35 PM

One of the problems with Doc’s preferred rotation is that if someone gets really hot against the Sixers starters early (e.g. Blake Griffin or Jalen Brunson) then it’s a double whammy by the time that no Harden-no-Embiid unit trots out and an opponent leaves a star in. – 7:30 PM
