    Pretty sure he did already but the 76ers didn't get the memo so they keep paying him even though he never shows up to work unless it's like someone's birthday and he heard there was gonna be cake.

    Question for you: There were rumors in years past Embiid did not always follow the rehab protocols properly and re-injured himself at least once. The Sixers kept everything mum.

    Any truth to this?

    Embiid was so scared of Sengun he scheduled a surgery just to duck him.

    rest dickerson

    or just limit his minutes to 24 minutes. there's no need for him to play 30+ minutes with these games late into the season

    After that comeback from a 24-0 run and 7 straight wins, naturally the team is at an all-time high. A young team will naturally have a letdown, so the coaching staff better get them prepared... DON'T LET DOWN!

    Gobert is out tomorrow night. The T'Wolves have nothing to play for, so they may be resting a lot of guys.
