What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Embiid w/the Knee + eye Reminds me of that Mia series 2022.
Had a broken face torn thumb and index, still went 2-2 vs Heat in games he played at 40 percent% health tops.
While broadcasters milked his reg. Seas vs playoff dip like a fascinating mystery. – 9:36 AM

“Embiid’s health is the single biggest question mark in the series. Can they do it? Yes. Is it likely? No.”

Josh Hart on if there’s more of an emphasis to run off defensive rebounds in moments that Embiid looks hobbled: “I’m definitely the wrong guy to ask because once I get a rebound, I’m a bat out of hell and I’m gone.” – 12:41 PM

More on this storyline

DeMarcus Cousins on Rudy Gobert: You can’t have a potential 4x Defensive Player of the Year who doesn’t finish games. I’m never going to be okay with this. I see things in black and white. If you’re the best defender on the best defensive team, you should never be off the floor. There should never be a scenario where you’re not able to fit into the scheme. That doesn’t make sense. How do we keep awarding this guy who can’t even stay on the floor in the playoffs? This is mind-blowing to me. -via YouTube / April 16, 2024
ClutchPoints: These are the players with the most regular season ejections in the last 25 seasons 👀 🔹 Rasheed Wallace with 25 games 🔹 Draymond Green with 19 games 🔹 DeMarcus Cousins with 17 games Dray has tied the most this season with 4 (career-high) 😬 pic.twitter.com/Q7bp5rUOGg -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / March 28, 2024

Austin Krell: Joel Embiid is questionable for tomorrow’s Game 3 vs the Knicks (L knee injury recovery). De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) has officially been upgraded to questionable. -via Twitter @NBAKrell / April 24, 2024
“This is worse than Game 7,” Embiid, wearing dark glasses, said a couple of minutes later. Everyone knew what he meant. The Sixers have bad memories of opponent playoff 3s bouncing on the rim, and bouncing, and falling through. This was after Embiid pulled out his phone and showed reporters a picture of Brunson, before the ball was inbounded on the critical play, holding a generous portion of Maxey’s jersey in his hand. -via The Athletic / April 23, 2024
Tim Bontemps: The Last Two Minute report is out from Sixers-Knicks: – Anunoby should’ve been called for defensive 3 seconds – Embiid should’ve been called for a foul on DiVincenzo – Brunson and Hart both were not called for fouls on Maxey – Nurse should’ve been granted a timeout -via Twitter @TimBontemps / April 23, 2024
