BREAKING: 76ers star Joel Embiid — the reigning MVP — will undergo a procedure this week to repair a left meniscus injury, a team official tells ESPN. A recovery timeline is expected after procedure, but expectation is that he will miss an extended period of time. pic.twitter.com/9c3ZqM7iT2

Dude just got the C-Webb diagnosis.

He didn't play at all finally (there was information later that he was ruled out, has a player ever missed a game due to a headache before? People in social media write that it might be connected with a potential trade.
#LACvsMIA UPDATE: Josh Richardson will now start in place of Tyler Herro, whose status is now questionable due to a headache.

I think SGA having just 3 free throws (in 48 minutes of play, Thunder 8/8 in total as a team) also doesn't make sense. Thunder shot 23/63 3 pointers (not such a high volume 3 point team) another odd thing for them.

yeah Bucks making history... sort of at least!
The @utahjazz are the only NBA team in the last 25 years to outscore their opponent by 25+ points in the 4th quarter while using the same 5 players for the entire quarter (Jordan Clarkson, Keyonte George, Walker Kessler, Lauri Markkanen, Kelly Olynyk).

Another "historical thing" from today's matches.
For the first time in NBA history, 5 teammates each recorded 20+ PTS & 1+ 3PM:

SGA — 23 PTS • 2 3PM
Giddey — 24 PTS • 2 3PM
Chet — 22 PTS • 4 3PM
Dort — 22 PTS • 5 3PM
Wiggins — 20 PTS • 4 3PM pic.twitter.com/IFHZ1dtHKl

a headache can absolutely ruin your entire day if it isn't taken care of so I can sympathize on that one, no appetite, no desire to do anything, you just want to close your eyes and do nothing
Utah Jazz with a monster comeback to drop Eastern All Star Head Coach Doc Rivers to 1-3.Utah Jazz outscored the Milwaukee Bucks 40-13 in the 4th quarter to beat them, 123-108! 😳

Bucks had a 95.4% chance to win heading into the 4th quarter trailing by 12…. and won by 15 PTS pic.twitter.com/IkD7P0XSI6
Joe Prunty was 2-1 as interim Coach. Adrian Griffin was 5-1 in his last 6.
They are in the middle of a road trip but two of the 4 losses are to under .500 teams (Blazers being the other).
They should find another all star coach or let Adrian Griffin do it. To his credit I don't think Doc is thrilled about being given the assignment either.

LeBron James was using the Knicks to put pressure on the Lakers, per @WindhorstESPN
— NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) February 5, 2024
“He was cognizant and aware that he was putting on a towel that said New York Knicks. Why would he mess with the Knicks? Because he was using the Knicks as a tool to pressure the Laker.”

Bron and Thibs would mutually destroy each other within a week of him going to New York.

one thing that has always worked well, Lebron passive aggressively, pushing to trade his teammates.

Did the Hornets fool everyone and make the right decision with Miller over Scoot?
could be 2nd year in a row where everyone freaks out that a team passed on the "cant miss" guard for a big wing and it's looking like a great decision.

Another historical moment in the NBA... for the record he has 0/6 3 pointers in 46 minutes of playing so far.
Ryan Arcidiacano is also the first player in NBA History to play 20 consecutive games without a single 2-Point Attempt or Free Throw Attempt. https://t.co/z4HZLq8pBe pic.twitter.com/Wz2pC6EKYj

That is so unfair to this poor guy ...
He has 2.3 minutes av per game in those 20 games , but he is the first one without a point in 20 games ...
AT least he will stay in history haha

The Toronto Raptors are the most recent team to be involved in discussions about trading for D’Angelo Russell, per @mcten

Masai going from being incredibly anal about his roster construction to apparently wanting Russell on his team over the course of like a month is crazy

Collins absolutely unwatchable now lol
Challenging a possession call up 9, with 1:13 to go feels petty, somehow.

Tom Thibodeau says Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart are being checked on by Knicks medical staff.

Thibs and running players into the ground until they physically can’t play anymore. Name a more iconic duo.
The truth of this statement and whether it was petty or not are mutually exclusive.
