I haven’t seen this building this empty and quiet in years. Nick Nurse and the Sixers coming here Sunday, followed by (hopefully) LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Lakers which should juice things up a bit at least. – 9:41 PM

Embiid and PJ Tucker are yelling across the floor at each other during the timeout, enjoying a laugh away from their teams’ huddles. – 9:36 PM

Biggest concern for Clippers in this second half is Tyrese Maxey.
It just feels like one, 76ers won’t have nearly as many foolish turnovers. That’s a Nick Nurse point of emphasis. And two, Maxey probably feels like he can get to cup whenever he wants. – 8:55 PM

Philadelphia used a 6-0 run to take a 15-point lead
That lead is down to 40-31 after Harden splashed a 3 opened up by a PG block of Champagne with my Cam Payne
Quality control timeout by Nick Nurse with 6:44 left in first half. Harden 2/4 3s after going 2/16 3s previous 3 games – 8:25 PM

Joel Embiid is dribbling a basketball during this timeout. I suppose that qualifies as on-court activities? – 7:54 PM

Clippers looked like they were on the ropes early after scoring only 5 points in first 3 minutes of the game
Philadelphia failed to go up double digits though, and lead is down to 14-10 with 6:03 left. Nick Nurse timeout before he had to lose his mind over a call – 7:53 PM

Ime Udoka said he “got a good glimpse” of the advantages of Jabari Smith Jr at center in summer league: “As long as it’s not a Jokic, Embiid, one of those true back-to-the-basket bigs, we feel really confident with him guarding them better than they can guard him.” – 6:45 PM

Nick Nurse, asked about Joel Embiid, said he thinks there’s “very good likelihood” he’ll return before play-in/playoffs.
Robert Covington’s been “making some progress.” De’Anthony Melton is “not as close yet.” Team is “hopeful” both will be back before the regular season ends. – 5:56 PM

Nick Nurse on the injured players:
-No timeline update for Joel Embiid. He is still on the court getting some work done.
-Same goes for Robert Covington. Nurse said he could be close to a return.
-De’Anthony Melton is still on a pain tolerance thing at the moment. #Sixers – 5:56 PM

Nick Nurse says he thinks there is a “very good likelihood” that Joel Embiid will return before the start of the playoffs / play-in.
Nurse also says he’s hopeful both Melton and Covington can return before the end of the regular season, although he notes Covington is closer. – 5:56 PM

Yesterday, there was some buzz on Philly sports Twitter around the idea that the Sixers should NOT bring Joel Embiid back for the playoffs.
So, here’s a column making the counter-argument:
of course they should bring Embiid back for the playoffs
