Sam Cassell in the summer of 2022 on Tyrese Maxey, who’s now a first-time NBA All-Star:
“He’s a pro’s pro. … If you find me somebody that works as hard as Tyrese Maxey in this game of basketball — and Tyrese is young, now — I’d like to see it.”

By my count, Houston traded 10 second round picks since July.
They got back 2 from the KJ Martin trade, so they’re out 8 in total. – 8:01 PM

No all-star game for Raptors forward Scottie Barnes, for now (Randle and maybe Embiid will need replacements).

With two bigs being injured in Joel Embiid and Julius Randle I would have to think Jarrett Allen has a pretty strong chance of being named an All-Star. – 7:25 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Tyrese Maxey developing into an All-Star was not impossible to see during the 2020 pre-draft process.
That was a better draft than usual between picks 10-20, but it was always crazy that he fell to 21. – 7:24 PM

Between Embiid and Randle, you’re gonna need some replacements. And they have to be from the East too – 7:20 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Tyrese Maxey has been named an all-star for the first time in his career.
He’s the first player drafted outside of the lottery in the class of 2020 to be named an all-star.
With the accolade comes new responsibility.
A short column:

Dave Early @DavidEarly
“It’s fair to wonder why the Sixers allowed Embiid to play in the first place. It’s downright puzzling that Nick Nurse chose to keep Embiid in the game at that point.”

Re: Joel Embiid: This is Embiid’s second tear in his left lateral meniscus. He missed the final 37 game of the 2016-17 regular season and ultimately underwent a partial meniscectomy (removal). The location of this latest injury remains the key to possible treatment options. – 7:15 PM

With no Tyrese Maxey or Joel Embiid for the 76ers tonight, is the under the lock against the Utah Jazz?
Or can Tobias Harris and Kelly Oubre provide enough scoring to take the over?
