I laughed out loud at that De’Anthony Melton half-Bane half-Harden three point fly-by step-back attempts. Then he made his next shot, and I also chuckled.

More on this storyline

“Like I’ve been saying since the season started, I’m happy,” Embiid said. “Whoever wants to play is welcome. If someone wants to play, they’re welcome. But we’ve got guys here that want to be here, that show up every single night. “Like I said … I don’t know what other type of word I can use, but I get paid to bring results and win games. I don’t get paid to, you know, babysit Tyrese (Maxey). I get paid to challenge him to try to help me win games. I get paid to, you know, do the same thing to Tobias and all the other guys and they respond to it, every single time. And just like the same way they challenge me, they know that it is never personal. I always go at them, and they always come back at me, because we all got the same goal: we want to win. -via ESPN / February 9, 2022 “But anybody is welcome to play. And if you want to be part of us, I am sure everybody is gonna be fine with it, but you got to show up. You got to want to be there. And I’m sure everybody is going to accept whoever that is. But, you know, to answer your question, I’m just worried about the guys that are here, and for the guys that are here, and if you’re here, I’m going to challenge you and we’re going to challenge each other to be better and try to win a championship.” -via ESPN / February 9, 2022 Brian Windhorst: I talked to somebody who just recently saw Ben Simmons work out. He’s working out in Philadelphia. Ramona wrote a story about this last week. I heard he looks great. -via Spotify / February 8, 2022
