Sixers optimistic Joel Embiid could return during the end of the regular season?
Philly Sixers Galaxy: “There is an optimism in Philadelphia that Joel Embiid can return at some point during the regular season — at least close enough to the playoffs to get his rhythm heading into the playoffs. But [the #Sixers] don’t wanna put any timeframe on it until he starts ramping up, but I’m told, he went to practice [yesterday], he got there early to see how everything was in the morning … his enthusiasm is there.” – @ramonashelburne on NBA Today

T-Wolves All-Star Anthony Edwards was asked if AS Game should be USA vs World? Edwards responded that Joker, Luka, Embiid, Giannis, Towns & Shai weren’t enough to fill a Intl. team. When asked about Jamal Murray, Ant said he wasn’t an All-Star. Reporter was stumped and moved on. – 2:21 AM
