President of Cameroon Paul Biya on Embiid joining Team USA: “He graduated from letting down a city to letting down a country. That’s the only way that immigrant will win a trophy and he’s not welcome in our country.” 😳 (Via @AlJazeera)

Can the 76ers go on a deep playoff run? 🍿 Why @AustinRivers25 has concerns about Joel Embiid's play ⬇

if Embiid is healthy Unc's got the Sixers 🏀 @ShannonSharpe @ochocinco

Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein on facing Joel Embiid: “The main thing is just, he's going to seek fouls…Through fouls, he'll get his little breaks, easy free throws.” Hartenstein adds it’s smart that Embiid looks to draw fouls.

I got the Sixers beating the Knicks in 7 🤷🏽♂ Jalen Brunson a hooper but they lack other creators around him. Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey have weapons around them. Nick Nurse masterclass coming.

🔙🇫🇷 Before choosing to represent the American national team, Joel Embiid promised to play for France. 🗞 As reported by RMC Sport, it now appears that the current Philadelphia 76ers center promised French President Emmanuel Macron with a letter back in 2021 that he would…

OG Anunoby anticipates guarding Joel Embiid "at some point" during the Knicks' series against the Sixers

Top 13 NBA players this season no particular order Nikola Jokić Giannis Antetokounmpo Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Luka Doncic Joel Embiid (doesn’t qualify for awards) Kawhi Leonard LeBron James Domantas Sabonis Anthony Davis Jayson Tatum Ant Edwards Tyrese Haliburton Jalen Brunson

Devin Booker on whether there's anything extra to this matchup with the conversations about him and an up-and-coming star like Anthony Edwards: "It's the playoffs. It's just Minnesota vs Phoenix right now. But I'd say Ant's not up and coming anymore. He's somebody that's here"

"That was a high level game last night between the Sixers & Heat.. The Sixers are 32-8 this year when Joel Embiid plays & they're tough to beat.. The Knicks play with the slowest tempo in the league & that helps Embiid" @WindhorstESPN #PMSLive

Rewatching the end of the game maybe the biggest play was Kyle Lowry’s steal with 2 and a half left with the Sixers down 91-90. Leads to an Embiid 3 and was a huge moment. So nice to have a guy like Lowry who will make those plays and credit to Nurse for going w/ him over Tobias

That was a gutsy performance last night by Embiid. Clearly wasn’t right but soldiered through & came up big time down the stretch when they needed a closer. Knocked down the 3 after a turnover then came right back w/ the and-1 as well as knocking down clutch FTs.

My initial take on the Knicks series... With the centers they play, Jo should be able to camp in the paint. I'm not *too* worried about the first-shot defense. The big question for me is rebounding. The Knicks are already elite and could feast if Embiid is tired/hurt.

#Sixers #Knicks 🏀 Starting lineup should be changed: Batum Embiid Oubre Lowry Maxey *not an overreaction to last night. Think it helps out everyone, ideally Tobias* 🏀 Will see more Payne and Martin this series
