Nick Nurse on a potential Joel Embiid return: “I mean, not really as far as his return. I think it’s been pretty widely reported that he has been on the court. I haven’t seen him for a few days.” #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2024/03/12/six… via @SixersWire – 6:59 PM
Ian Begley @IanBegley
Julius Randle’s ‘conditioning is good,’ Tom Thibodeau said this evening. “He’s shooting, doing individual work, that’s all good. He can do 5-0; that sort of thing. Light contact with the pads.” Randle hasn’t been cleared for full contact yet. That’s the next step in his rehab… – 6:50 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Just left the locker room. Knicks players all talking as if Anunoby will play tonight. Thibodeau called him a game-time decision an hour ago. @IanBegley reported earlier this evening that Anunoby will be a go. – 6:39 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Does Josh Hart care if he loses minutes with OG back? “Anabudoby is getting 40 tonight! Not letting him get out of the game.” – 6:33 PM

Nick Nurse says Buddy Hield will come off the bench again tonight after Sunday’s win. Says there will be other changes, as well, with Tyrese Maxey returning against the Knicks. Nurse said there’s no minutes limit on Maxey, who is returning from the concussion protocols. – 6:07 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
No minutes limit for Tyrese Maxey, says head coach Nick Nurse. – 6:02 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Tyrese Maxey is not on the Sixers’ injury report after missing Sunday’s game in the concussion protocol. – 5:59 PM
Ian Begley @IanBegley
Mitchell Robinson is making ‘good, steady progress’ and should be cleared for contact soon, Tom Thibodeau says – 5:55 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Tom Thibodeau on Mitchell Robinson: “No contact yet, but that should be coming soon.” – 5:55 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Tom Thibodeau said Mitchell Robinson can run and jump now and is not doing contact “but that should be coming soon.” – 5:54 PM
Ian Begley @IanBegley
Julius Randle hasn’t been cleared for full contact yet, Tom Thibodeau says. Thibodeau says Randle is doing basically everything else, including controlled contact. When asked about it, Thibodeau said there is no timetable for Randle to be cleared for full contact. – 5:51 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
No contact yet for Julius Randle. He’s doing 5-on-0 and individual work and is doing controlled contact with pads but not anything substantive as of yet. – 5:50 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Upon OG Anunoby’s probable return tonight: The on/off numbers are still as extreme as they were at the time he got hurt.
Knicks are exactly 30 (!!) points per 100 possessions better when he’s on the floor, per @cleantheglass. Defense is 19.1 points per 100 better. – 5:49 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Tom Thibodeau says if OG Anunoby feels good after his pregame warmups, he will play tonight against the 76ers. – 5:48 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Tom Thibodeau says OG Anunoby will warm up with the intention to play tonight against Philadelphia. – 5:47 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Anunoby will go through warmups and decide but a go if all goes well. – 5:47 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
OG Anunoby will warm up with the intent to play, Tom Thibodeau said. – 5:47 PM
Ball Don’t Lie @Balldontlie
OG Anunoby (elbow) will return tonight vs. the Sixers, per @IanBegley.
The Knicks are 12-2 with Anunoby in the lineup. pic.twitter.com/imQFcNW6h65:22 PM

Ian Begley @IanBegley
SNY sources: OG Anunoby will return for the Knicks tonight against the Sixers. He has been out since Jan. 27 with elbow injury and subsequent surgery. Knicks’ winning percentage has dipped in Anunoby’s absence; club went 14-2 with him in lineup in January. – 5:03 PM

Jokić, Giannis, Shai, Dončić, Tatum, Durant, Brunson, Kawhi, Edwards, LeBron, Davis, Fox, Lillard good bets…Brown in a mix that includes Zion, Sabonis, Maxey, George, Siakam & some others.
Is he in? – 3:43 PM
