Nick Nurse, on Joel Embiid’s mobility and whether there has been any discussion of resting him:
“I would agree that he’s not moving nearly as well as we was. We were hoping maybe something conditioning, rhythm, that kind of stuff would get that going, but it doesn’t appear that pic.x.com/sHD4NPcMHH – 12:51 PM

A slew of Sixers injury updates from Camden, including Nick Nurse saying Joel Embiid didn’t practice, is questionable for tomorrow and is not moving “as well as he was.”
Also notes on Justin Edwards, who could return tomorrow, and Eric Gordon/Kyle Lowry:

This should be the game that ends Philadelphia’s season.
Embiid is clearly hurt and retaining that top-6 pick in a loaded draft should be the overwhelming priority.
At this point, there’s a very good chance the 76ers and Bulls finish ahead of the Nets in the lottery standings. – 10:16 PM

Massive boos here as Nick Nurse calls time. The Nets lead 60-43 with 3:12 left in the half. Joel Embiid has made one shot in 16 minutes.
The Nets are not shooting particularly well from three-point range, by the way. The Sixers are just allowing easy bucket after easy bucket. – 8:34 PM

I have this as the second time this season that Guerschon Yabusele has been available but not played in the first quarter. It happened in the November disaster in MIA, the only game this year in which he didn’t make the regular rotation (he did play in the second half that night) – 8:12 PM

After one: Nets 40, Sixers 30.
The Sixers heard lots of skepticism about their defense after the Celtics game, and then gave up more points to the Nets in the opening frame than they did in any quarter against Boston. Not good. – 8:10 PM

Andre Drummond missed two free throws. The Nets were called for a lane violation, so he got another shot. He missed that, too, but grabbed his own rebound, then drew a foul, but stared down Trendon Watford and got whistled for a technical.
He made the next two free throws. – 8:09 PM

The Sixers’ defense is still looking… questionable. Nets are on a 28-11 run and lead 32-21 with three minutes left in the first quarter. They are playing a team starting Killian Hayes at point guard in his second game with the team. – 8:00 PM

Some quick notes:
– The Nets have had the worst offense in the league since Jan 15th. They started this one 11-14 from the field.
– Lonnie Walker IV, making his Sixers debut, was the first sub off the bench. David Roddy, their two-way, was second.
