Joel Embiid is now questionable for tonight’s matchup with the Bulls due to left hamstring tightness.
Marcus Morris Sr. is also questionable due to an illness #Sixers – 12:52 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Sixers center Joel Embiid is questionable for tonight’s game against the Chicago Bulls with left hamgstring tightness. Embiid was at this morning’s shootaround. Marcus Morris Sr. is also questionable with an illness. – 12:46 PM

the numbers Joel Embiid has put up this season despite frequently sitting out the fourth quarter is crazy
Embiid has appeared in the 4Q in just 13 games and has scored a total of just 84 in the fourth (less than Christian Braun and Herb Jones).
Yet Embiid is still somehow… – 10:07 AM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Joel Embiid and 76ers need some competition.
Nico Batum is low-key one of the league’s elite three-point shooters. And Marcus Morris Sr. continues to play some of his best basketball in the month of December.
Those three things stood out in the Sixers’ 135-82 victory over the… – 8:40 AM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
Tough loss for the Bulls but we see another day-Bulls playing with grit and resiliency —Monday in Philly against the streaking 76ers. In December Joel Embiid: 40pts -12 rebounds shooting 61% and 92% from the line. 5:45 CT pre on @670TheScore @chicagobulls radio network. – 12:41 AM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
In addition to triple double talk. Luka had 22 1st qtr pts. In his last 7 games, he has scored 96 1st qtr pts. He had 30 at halftime, the 9th 30 pt half of his career. And his 14th 20 pt half this season, most in @NBA (Embiid 13) – 12:10 AM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Joel Embiid has 752 points in 746 minutes so far this season.
More points than minutes played 22 games into the season. Even Wilt Chamberlain only accomplished that feat once. – 9:25 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Joel Embiid has more points than minutes this season, the Sixers keep beating the hell out of bad teams, and the Hornets scored 82 points in the year of our lord 2023.

Joel Embiid checks out for presumably the final time, Sixers up 100-59 (!!!) as the third quarter ends.
His line in 29:53 of action:

1 steal
2 blocks

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
I know this string of opponents recently hasn’t been impressive, but what Joel Embiid is doing right now is mind boggling. Yes, it’s the Wizards, Pistons, and Hornets, but he’s making every opponent look helpless. He’s been fantastic. #Sixers – 8:39 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
What the Sixers are doing to these bad teams is more to do with leadership habits the best players are practicing than coaching, imo.
For example, beating the piss out of CHA and Embiid makes the effort to get back in transition for a block. That sends a message down the line. – 8:09 PM
Noah Levick @NoahLevick
Embiid-Maxey duo at halftime: 46 points on 19-for-25 shooting, 9 assists
Hornets as a team at halftime: 44 points on 18-for-49 shooting, 8 assists – 8:07 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Halftime: Sixers 73, Hornets 44. Sixers on their way to their fourth consecutive blowout. Embiid with 25 points on 11-of-14 shooting, 10 rebounds and three assists. Maxey with a massive second quarter, with 17 of his 21 points including 4-of-6 from deep. – 8:05 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Embiid’s first-quarter numbers are insane but the pace at which he’s operating in this game is outstanding. Just flying up and down the court and being incredibly decisive with the ball. – 7:40 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
And for his next trick, Joel Embiid nearly had a double-double in the first quarter. He’s got 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting and nine rebounds, and the Sixers lead 33-17. Hornets shot 7-of-24 in the period, including 0-for-8 from three. – 7:37 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
After 1, Philly leads the Hornets 33-17. Joel Embiid is outscoring the Hornets by himself as he has 18 points after 1 quarter. Unbelievable stuff. #Sixers – 7:36 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Already a casual 12-7-2 for Embiid…with four minutes still to play in the first.
On the other end, the shorhanded Hornets missed 13 of their first 15 shots.
Unsurprisingly, the Sixers lead 21-9. – 7:27 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Embiid about to get a double-double in the first quarter. He has 10 points and six rebounds with 5:45 left in the quarter. – 7:23 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Nick Richards with two fouls in the first 5 minutes, Embiid was set on getting Richards into foul trouble exactly like Valancunis did last night.
Good luck Nathan Mensah – 7:23 PM

You guys aren’t going to believe this, but the Charlotte Hornets are having trouble defending Joel Embiid #Sixers – 7:19 PM
Noah Levick @NoahLevick
Observations here from Sixers-Pistons last night, covering:
-Maxey on Embiid’s “scary” continued improvement
-Some positives defensively, albeit vs. cellar-dwelling opposition
-Morris’ hot shooting, second unit’s chemistry nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/nba/philadelph… – 1:18 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey said the team’s ownership group wants to keep him, coach Nick Nurse, general manager Elton Brand, and star players Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey together.
Does this mean that Sixers are about to announce an extension for… – 11:14 AM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Tyrese Maxey’s ability to be an elite-scoring co-star to Embiid has changed the type of player the Sixers will seek prior to the trade deadline.
“I mean him playing pretty clearly like the second-best player to an MVP-level guy does change how you look at things, and does make… – 11:05 AM

Barring something catastrophic, it will likely be Joel Embiid’s 3rd consecutive game scoring 34+ without having to step on the court in the fourth quarter. – 8:55 PM

Embiid exits with the Sixers up 92-59 with minute left in the third, 35-13-2 for the big man. Should be it.

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Respect to Joe Harris. Joel Embiid is pushing the break, the Pistons have lost 21 straight games, down 30, he barely plays and he stared down the middle of the barrel and took a charge. – 8:52 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Not much to say on this game. Joel Embiid is good at basketball and the Pistons have struggled to stop him. Philly leads by 30 in the 3rd Q. #Sixers – 8:49 PM

Joel Embiid: 10th straight 30-point game, ninth straight 30-point, 10-rebound outing.
Sixers lead the Pistons by 32 with 18:14 to play. – 8:37 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Detroit’s best chance in this game is hoping Embiid takes Stewart’s bait and gets thrown out of the game somehow, but Stewart has to actually stay on the floor for that to happen – 8:30 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
been sitting here most of the half thinking “meh, Sixers haven’t been that good” and they’re now up 22 lol.
Also, double techs on Embiid and Stewart. They’ve been jawing for a few plays in a row. – 8:10 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
I’m not sure if anyone has written about this, if so, I’d love to read it, but Embiid has an obsession with fixing the net.
Seeing him two games in a row, he fixes/plays with the bottom of the nets quite often. – 7:58 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Pistons really need to win these non-Embiid minutes here to start the 2Q.
Not by like four or five. They need to win it by double digits to have a chance.
Ivey and Bogey on the floor to start. – 7:41 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Pistons are going all-bench with Embiid and Harris still on the floor. Keeping pace so far. Pistons down 24-18 with 2:28 left in the first – 7:31 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Two early Embiid turnovers and a foul. Detroit doing a solid job on him so far.
Now if they could just hit a 3. – 7:16 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
They called a double-dribble on Embiid. Right call, but I could probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually seen it called – 7:14 PM
