Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Frank Vogel on Advert: "Information technology was practiced to see him get a rhythm. Competed and fabricated some terrific plays on Embiid. … Anthony played a hell of a game on both sides of the ball." – 10:07 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Sixers shell the Lakers, 105-87. They are 29-xix. Joel Embiid's worst game in a while sees him get for 26-9-7-2-one.
Tobias Harris: 25-5-4-ii on 10-fifteen shooting. He's playing much better as of tardily.
Four steals and a block for Matisse Thybulle. – 9:49 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
FINAL: Sixers 105, Lakers 87.
Anthony Davis (31 points, 12 rebounds, iv blocks) was absolutely sensational in a match-upward with Joel Embiid. The Lakers, as a whole, were underwhelming without LeBron James. The Lakers are once more a game under .500. Charlotte tomorrow night. – nine:47 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
FINAL: Sixers 105, Lakers 87. Embiid with 26-9-vii. Harris with 23-5-4. Maxey with 14-7-9. Lakers got 31 and 12 from AD with LeBron out but shot only vi-of-29 from three-point state.
Up next for the Sixers: Saturday vs. Sacramento – 9:46 PM

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Not sure exactly what happened/was said there just Carmelo Anthony was not happy with a fan there. Embiid stood in the corner with him playing peacemaker – nine:32 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 88, Lakers 68 at the end of the third. Embiid in triple-double territory with xx-nine-7. Harris with 17-four-3. Maxey with 14-four-viii. Sixers are 12-of-27 from 3, Lakers are 3-of-18. – nine:17 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
Joel Embiid isn't running and working whatsoever less difficult merely he has been wincing a scrap since that hard foul by Carmelo Anthony. – nine:09 PM

Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Some other swat on Embiid from Davis. This is the AD that tin be potentially transformative for the Lakers. Transformative enough? Who knows? But he's gotta be this guy for the Lakers to turn it around and really threaten for a championship. BK – nine:04 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
It'due south been a familiar feeling since LeBron'due south heater, only watching Anthony Davis cake Embiid while staying with him on a drive, seeing his 29-point, x-rebound stat line midway through the tertiary — it's going to exist a shame if/when the Lakers can't pull it out with his endeavour. – 9:03 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
This Ad operation, on both ends, has been incredible.
(It also doesn't help that Korkmaz isn't in the same aught lawmaking chasing Monk effectually these screens. Keeps putting Embiid in a tough spot.) – nine:03 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Davis only swatted Embiid for a second time tonight, as he continues to look terrific individually (29 points, 10 boards, three blocks in 26 minutes).
LAL oasis't had a chance to pair this version of Advertisement with LeBron yet this season. – nine:03 PM

Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
The fan vote, in guild of the height 10: LeBron, Steph, Durant, Giannis, Jokic, DeMar, Embiid, Ja, Wiggins, Paul George. – 9:02 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
An impressive operation from Anthony Davis has come up mostly with Joel Embiid on him. Embiid'due south been dominating the NBA for the last month and change (35 ppg), merely Davis is 12 for xvi for 27 points with vii boards and two blocks.
Embiid has 13, six and 5, but his Sixers lead 67-58. – 8:56 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Joel Embiid only has 13 points and Philly has a 67-58 lead. The others have stepped up in a big manner in this one. Tobias Harris has 14 and Tyrese Maxey has 12. #Sixers – 8:55 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Unbelievable offset half from Anthony Davis, who Embiid has played well against in his career: 23 points on 10-thirteen shooting. A squeamish mix of easy ones from his teammates but also a few tough, well-contested mid-rangers.
Sixers still lead the LeBron-less Lakers at halftime, 54-48. – 8:32 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
AD (23 points, 5 boards, ii blocks) out-dueled Joel Embiid (13 points, vi boards) in the first half, striking 10 of 13 FG'southward, including 7 for 7 in the pigment, plus 3 bound shots.
Only Philly was +15 from iii, and holds a 54-48 lead. – 8:31 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
HALFTIME: Sixers 54, Lakers 48
Anthony Davis IS the Lakers' law-breaking tonight. He'due south got a game-loftier 23 points despite a dinged up wrist against current MVP favorite Joel Embiid. But the Lakers haven't helped him out much on that finish. No one else has more than 7. – 8:31 PM

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Pretty easily the best half Davis has e'er had against Embiid (at least that I tin can remember). Defending him a lot more than normal, besides. Should be a fun second half – 8:30 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Anthony Davis is actually getting the virtually of Joel Embiid in this 1st half. This has been an impressive showing. – 8:29 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 32, Lakers 22 at the end of the first. Three-point shooting is the large departure in this one: Sixers are v-of-10 and Lakers are 0-for-6. Harris with seven-2-2. Embiid with 8 points on 3-of-7 from the field and four boards. – seven:59 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Ball movement leads to 2 triples from Danny Green and another i from Georges Niang. Philly opens upwards a 30-20 lead with Joel Embiid has eight points and 4 rebounds. #Sixers – 7:54 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Anthony Davis went back toward the tunnel. He had been favoring his correct wrist since dinging it against the rim on a dunk that Embiid challenged him on. He removed a wrap on that wrist as he was subbed out. – 7:53 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Would need to see a replay, merely looked like Embiid came downwardly awkward on that correct knee trying to reach the full-court pass to Davis. Got up dull. Blocked/altered the side by side couple of shots, though. – 7:46 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Davis (8 points on 4-of-6 shooting) and Embiid (6 points on 2-of-5 shooting) are aggressive early. But then is Tobias Harris, who has 7 quick points on iii-of-three from the floor later on inbound tonight questionable with a non-COVID affliction. Sixers lead 18-14. – vii:46 PM

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Shaquille O'Neal: "The difference between [Embiid] and his soft partner is he can take criticism without being a crybaby, and he nonetheless wants to play." – 7:27 PM

About that game tipping off in 30 minutes:
Vogel stays small, starting Malik Monk in LeBron's identify, leaving Anthony Davis every bit the man on Embiid. – vii:06 PM

Christian Clark @cclark_13
Tuesday, it was Jose Alvarado vs. Joel Embiid for a bound ball. Improbably, the Pelicans won information technology.
Alvarado said he tried a fob he once saw Nate Robinson use. The two-way baby-sit'southward craftiness is ane reason he has worked his way into the rotation. nola.com/sports/pelican… – vii:04 PM

Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob

E
Darius Garland
Fred VanVleet
DeMar DeRozan
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Joel Embiid
Westward
Steph Curry
Ja Morant
LeBron James
Nikola Jokic

*IMO the logical solution with no KD is to slide DeMar up to the FC where he belongs. – half-dozen:38 PM

Tom Moore @TomMoorePhilly
#Lakers coach Frank Vogel on Joel Embiid: 'It'due south non just about the low post. … In that location's a lot of perimeter aspects with him and Joker (Jokic in terms of) how they employ those guys.' #Sixers – half dozen:08 PM

Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
Frank Vogel on Joel Embiid: "There'southward a lot of similarities between him and Joker" regarding how much time they spend on the perimeter. "There's a lot of perimeter aspects between he and Joker" – 6:07 PM

Noah Levick @NoahLevick
Sixers health tidbits from Doc Rivers:
-Seth Curry (left talocrural joint) probably couldn't have played even if this was a playoff game. Will see where he's at before side by side game.
-There's been discussion nigh a residual dark for Joel Embiid, who'southward pushed back confronting that a few times – 5:59 PM

Rosalyn Gold-Onwude @ROSGO21
Back to dorsum NBA hoops! 😍 On the go from Miami to Philadelphia & excited to exist back in the analyst seat tonight! AD is back & Lakers continue on the road to take on Joel Embiid & the 76ers! On the phone call west/ my teammate @Sean Kelley on @ESPNRadio! 🏀🎤💪🏽 – 5:forty PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Jose Alvarado already had a cut on forehead from nasty standoff with MIN's Jaylen Nowell. Now he has narrow cutting past right centre. Alvarado on how it happened: "I honestly don't even remember. I'm just trying to fight for every 50-50 brawl. That's how I become these lilliputian battle scars." – 3:29 PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Jose Alvarado said he told Joel Embiid after they received technical fouls Tuesday that Alvarado couldn't afford the fine (which is $two,000, per the peachy @Andrew Lopez). A grateful Alvarado said today subsequently do that Embiid "did a generous thing" and paid Alvarado'a fine – two:28 PM

Christian Clark @cclark_13
Jose Alvarado and Joel Embiid were jawing at each other before this week. It was friendly competition though. Alvarado said Embiid paid his fine for getting Ted upwardly. – 2:23 PM

Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
Pels baby-sit Jose Alvarado said Joel Embiid reached out and is going to cover his fine for the double tech they each picked up in Tuesday's game. – two:23 PM

Mike Lynch @SportInfo247
Danny Light-green implying Shaq didn't have footwork is so off. Shaq's anxiety highly underrated. His back to the basket footwork was excellent. Not the confront-up guy Embiid is, but utilized his size and force far better. – ane:12 PM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
#Sixers swingman Danny Green on teammate Joel Embiid, who's expected to be named Eastern Briefing All-Star starter for the 5th directly flavour tonight: "He's Shaq with footwork and bear on. Nosotros've never seen a large homo with guard skills like him." pic.twitter.com/DHyN9lNIec – 12:58 PM

Micah Adams @MicahAdams13
Both Jokic and Embiid are keen.
Only even Jokic'southward one "bad" playoff series wasn't that bad… and came against the eventual champs.
Embiid has had some clunkers.
Nosotros don't accept to do this "pick one" game but its funny how a ascendant Embiid stretch in January makes people forget. pic.twitter.com/nrkFl0NcKS – 10:06 PM

Micah Adams @MicahAdams13
The Embiid vs. Jokic debate on this app actually makes me wish Twitter existed for Shaq vs. Hakeem and Russell vs. Wilt. – 7:31 PM

Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Jose Alvarado with an incredibly smart stop over Joel Embiid and then Herb Jones scores an And-one in transition.
Pelicans retake the lead at 69-66, but Jose just went to the bench later on colliding with Embiid on a screen. – viii:37 PM

Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
NAW flips information technology backside his head for a Jaxson slam and now Jose Alvarado gets an And-1 through contact. A little momentum for the Pelicans to close out the tertiary quarter? They lead 83-79 – ix:51 PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
#Pelicans fans are starting to loudly cheer Jose Alvarado defensive sequences, as was the case when he contested a mid-range Caris LeVert shot, and then once again on Pacers' concluding possession of 1Q – 8:39 PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Indiana's Rick Carlisle extensively complimented #Pelicans point baby-sit Jose Alvarado in pregame: "He's going to be up into you (defensively) the entire game. He's going to take boundless free energy, attack you… If yous're a coach, you can't help but like (him). He'south a fighter." – 6:39 PM
