My hottest(?) MVP take is that Nikola Jokic should not win three times in a row. Not because he’s not balling out — frankly, a lot of players are, and he could definitely win this year — but because Joel Embiid should have won in 2022. – 8:30 PM

I guess my point here is less anti-Kevin Love and more that I think Niang is an underrated player.
Has some questions if he can hold up in a playoff series, but still, has been a really important guy all season. Such a good fit with Embiid and Harden. – 12:49 PM

Georges Niang is clearly a better offensive player than Kevin Love at this point as a backup 4, especially on a team with Harden and Embiid.
Niang is better at finishing the opportunities those guys create. – 12:35 PM

Joel Embiid has been dealing with a lingering foot injury since Nov. When asked Wednesday if he’d play in the ASG, Embiid replied: “I’m not sure, I’m not healthy. I haven’t been healthy for the past three weeks or month… Going to see how the next few days go and go from there.” – 10:29 AM

More on this storyline
Michael Scotto: Donovan Mitchell on Nikola Jokic for MVP: “I don’t know if you’ve all been watching what Jokic’s been doing. It’s f****** outrageous, to be honest. I don’t know how many people have won it 3 times in a row, but he’s other worldly right now.” He also highly praised Joel Embiid. -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / February 18, 2023
Joel Embiid missed Saturday’s Eastern Conference All-Star practices and the following media availability. The 76ers’ six-time All-Star, however, is expected to be on hand for Sunday night’s NBA All-Star Game at the Vivint Arena. All this comes after Embiid reiterated on Wednesday that he’s unsure if he’ll play in the game. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / February 18, 2023
A Sixers source believes that Embiid intends to play in the All-Star Game. But on Wednesday, the 7-foot-2, 280-pounder didn’t give the impression that he would definitely play. “I’m not sure,” Embiid said when asked if he would play in the midseason game in Salt Lake City. “I’m not healthy. I haven’t been healthy for the past three weeks — a month.” Embiid, 28, has been dealing with left foot soreness. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / February 18, 2023
