Draymond Green: “What stopped my scroll this week was seeing someone say Joel Embiid has now officially missed more games than he’s played. It stopped my scroll because I get tired of people talking and just throwing these things out there. What about his health? And let’s take a step aside from his actual physical health — what about his mental health? He knows how much guys put into this game to be great. You’re talking about a guy who worked from shooting a backwards layup out of bounds 12 or 15 years ago to being the MVP of the NBA. What about him mentally? So, I see people just throw these things around and talk, and it irks me. I saw that, and it stopped my scroll because it made me feel for Joel. I feel for him. Nobody knows what he’s going through and what he has to deal with. And everybody says, ‘Oh man, he got the money. He good.’ No, he’s not. He wants to play basketball. He loves playing basketball.”

Tony Jones: Joel Embiid was on the floor and part of shootaround this morning. He then played and had a workout after shoot. He also worked out Monday. Nick Nurse said he’s come out of each workout well so it looks like he’s trending towards getting back
Justin Martinez: Jared McCain on if he has played alongside a big man who can make screening a highlight play like Isaiah Hartenstein: “It’s crazy. When I was in Philly, Joel would do that with Tyrese and I was like ‘Dang, that’s really cool right there.’ So being able to be a part of it is really fun. Playing with Hart, J-Will and Chet, they’re all elite bigs. I’m excited to play with them.”
