VJ Edgecombe put some shots up this morning before shootaround here in Cleveland. He’s still listed as questionable due to a lumbar contusion. #Sixers

Are you serious? Lmao that’s pretty funny. I did see your reply from my friend’s account and we got a kick out of it.

I was able to regain access to my account. So, it’s all fixed now.

With the Heat defeating the Hornets today, they are now tied with Philadelphia for the No. 6 seed in the East. Philly is percentage points ahead of them at the moment. #Sixers

Really cool to see Jayson Tatum back out here, man. Good for him. This is phenomenal work by him.

Per the Sixers, Joel Embiid did another on-court session today including some 4-on-4 work. Indicates he continues to progress.

The Pelicans starting Sixers legend DeAndre Jordan alongside Zion Williamson, Saddiq Bey, and Derik Queen is hilarious lol

Anywho, I clipped together some of Cam Payne’s assists from his return the other night and truly believe he’ll be a big help once he gets his rhythm #Sixers

Q&A: Meet Dylan Harper, the best NBA Draft prospect who did not make March Madness tourney While there are plenty of future NBA players in March Madness, the best prospect who did not make the tournament is Rutgers freshman Dylan Harper.

I spoke to Dylan Harper, the best prospect in the 2025 NBA Draft who did not make the March Madness tournament.

His answer about how he got so good at creating for himself near the rim based on advice from his mom was especially insightful.

The updated Eastern Conference standings after last night’s loss. Philly’s now 3.5 games back of the Bulls for the final play-in spot, but also just a game back of the Raptors in the lottery standings. #Sixers

The Nuggets’ press conference room shares a wall with the visitors’ locker room. Somebody in there shared with me that they could hear screaming coming from the opposite side.

For what it’s worth, the visitors’ press conference room is down the hall.

Per Sixers, Eric Gordon (oral surgery) is OUT tonight at Utah. Embiid and Drummond remain questionable.

I asked Paul George about playing tomorrow on the 2nd night of a B2B. He said: β€œI want to. I want to play. I’m a little sore so I'll see how I feel in the morning, but 100% want to play. Especially, with how we're playing right now. Absolutely.” #Sixers

Nick Nurse says he doesn’t expect Joel Embiid to play tomorrow, but he’s not quite certain on that. They’ve gotta check on both him and Paul George when considering it is a B2B. #Sixers
