Kyle Neubeck: Joel Embiid (back soreness) is now listed as questionable on the injury report for tonight’s game. Aside from the benefit of getting him a night off, would not be the worst thing in the world to basically force a look at multiple backup bigs next to Harden

Joel Embiid has been added to the Sixers’ injury report this afternoon. He is now questionable to play tonight at Cleveland with back soreness. When asked at this morning’s shootaround if any players would rest tonight, Doc Rivers said “I don’t think so.” – 2:01 PM

My stance on resting Embiid/Harden:
Do it when there’s more certainty as to what seed you’ll be and who you’d be facing. – 12:58 PM

It’s stunning to hear @Joel Embiid tell @Draymond Green how close he came to being a professional volleyball player in a larger conversation about confidence and uncertainty about his path. https://t.co/sD9xA8bMBM pic.twitter.com/I74ksj8WUj – 12:56 PM

Sixers coach Doc Rivers said he didn’t think any starters would test tonight against the Cavs — Joel Embiid and James Harden were both to participate in shootaround, but that rest was coming down the stretch. The playoffs are a month away. @The Athletic – 10:27 AM

So can Jokic and Embiid both be on All NBA 1st team or not?
That needs to be communicated clearly to voters.
There’s wayyyy too much money on the line here for just a handful of voters to “get creative” with their vote and not have all voters know they can do that. – 4:08 PM

So, NBA dot com’s admittedly wonky tracking data has Nikola Jokić shooting 5/7 against Joel Embiid last night.
It has Embiid shooting 9/15 against Jokić, including 3/3 from 3.
Make of that what you will. – 3:03 PM
