Dwight Howard on Joel Embiid: ‘He’s the toughest to guard because he knows how to flop’
Dwight Howard on Joel Embiid: ‘Embiid is the toughest to guard because he knows how to flop. He knows how to use his size and strength when he has to. He can shoot really well. If I was checking him, I’d beat him up and down the court, not letting him get easy points, don’t go for no pump fakes. (…) I’m crowding his space because I know he’s either going to do like this and try to go around me. I’m eating that space up as soon as I see the ball come up, as soon as he goes like this, I’m getting right up under him so the next time he puts it down he’s going to have to turn his back or think about it. So Embiid is one of those unicorns.

It seems Joel Embiid could be listed as questionable on a game-by-game basis for however long his left foot sprain lingers.
Kelly Oubre Jr., who played in the Sixers’ first 30 games, may miss his third in a row. Andre Drummond isn’t on the injury report.

A handful of thoughts and notes on today’s Sixers injury report before their matchup against the Golden State Warriors, including an interesting Joel Embiid thing that could be something and could be nothing and a good sign on Paul George’s back:

As Embiid has dealt with his foot sprain, he has always been listed on injury reports with that and “sinus fracture; mask.” But today, it only says “left foot sprain.” Could mean he is done with the mask, could be an oversight, could be me reading way too much into it. We’ll see. – 4:37 PM

If Ball-Mitchell-Tatum-Giannis-Towns start for the East I’m assuming reserves will be: Garland, Brown, Young, Brunson, Mobley, Lillard and maybe Embiid?
With Maxey/Cunningham/Herro next up.
That’s assuming reserves are still 2 G, 3FC, 2 WC. – 1:40 PM

That’s a really tough loss for the Sixers, they did 97 percent of the work to steal one without Embiid. 15-0 run to close it for the Kings.
Maxey and George did a lot of good stuff tonight. But man, they both really, really struggled offensively in the last three minutes. – 12:29 AM

Turns out Paul George needed what most stars need to get going, just some early touches and rhythm.
Nick Nurse has to figure out how to overlay that with Embiid and Maxey. – 10:50 PM

Dwight Howard on Defensive Player of the Year award: ‘I could have won it every year I played in the league, like if I had enough minutes and enough time I would feel like I could win it. I say defense is all about conditioning and mindset. When I played in my prime I never got tired, never got tired, so my workout regime was very, very tough in order for me not to get tired in games. I was able to play if I had to play 48 minutes I could play without getting tired. So that is key, that is key, it’s conditioning. Conditioning brings so much confidence and swag to your game. When you’re in such good shape you’re just like ‘why you think I smile so much?’ -via YouTube / January 4, 2025

Jimmy Butler is due $52 million next season, but it sounds like he’ll surely opt-out for a longer contract with more guaranteed money, if not a lower yearly salary. Over the summer, Philadelphia tried to engage Miami on a Butler deal before agreeing to terms with George — Joel Embiid wanted a reunion with Butler and pushed for it, according to sources who spoke to Yahoo Sports over the summer and recently. -via Yahoo!
