Joel Embiid on Ben Simmons: “I’ve always been one of those people that didn’t believe [Simmons] actually needed a jumper, like he was so good, he’s just a monster….Almost as fast as you (Maxey)…. I just believed that you know if he could find a way to get his free throws to 75-80% that woulda changed everything….You can talk about this could have happened, the mistakes that have been made during the draft of Mikal Bridges but that’s just one [of the many franchise mistakes]… but I think that’s the perfect match… I think that’s the one that got away. I just hate the fact that the way things happened….”

I’m doing my quarter-season awards right now. Here’s where I’ve fallen on MVP, I’m curious what people think.
There is a clear top four, in some order, of Embiid, Jokic, Haliburton and SGA.
Then there’s a slight drop to LeBron, Luka, Durant and Giannis in some order. – 3:01 PM

More on this storyline
Joel Embiid: “…The Process, that I was really pushing wasn’t about basketball. It was about everything that I went through. Everything that I was going through. Think about it, if I miss — say my foot — I’m missing my second year [with a fractured navicular bone], everybody’s talking, all this all these stories are coming out, ‘Joel is 500 lbs,’ ‘he’ll never play a game of basketball in the NBA, ‘his career is over,’ a bunch of stuff and then we had a new GM … and then I lost my brother, so at that point, I’m like ‘you know what, everybody is just talking like ‘Joel can’t do this,’ ‘he can’t do that,’ ‘he’ll never be able to play,’ he’s dealing with all this stuff,’ so I’m like ‘OK, this is what I believe in, this is my process and I’m gonna trust it.” -via LibertyBallers.com / December 10, 2023
Austin Krell: Nick Nurse says Joel Embiid’s status tomorrow is TBD. He participated in today’s practice and was a full participant after tweaking his knee on Friday. -via Twitter @NBAKrell / December 10, 2023
The Knicks have made it clear to other teams that they want a star, league sources said, but they also don’t expect one to become available in the middle of the season. The hope for Joel Embiid has lessened as the Philadelphia 76ers continue to win after trading James Harden to the LA Clippers. -via The Athletic / December 9, 2023
Nets point guard Ben Simmons has started feeling positive effects from the epidural he had in his back and has moved to the next phase of his rehab. “He’s looking at, I think, in the matter of days to weeks, as opposed to weeks to months,” Simmons’ agent, Bernie Lee, told The Post. Simmons, who hasn’t played since Nov. 6 and got the shot a little over a week ago, is doing aqua jogging — running in water. He’s working toward on-court activity. -via New York Post / December 9, 2023
“It definitely has helped. And just like time and progression has helped him as well,” Lee said before the Nets’ 124-97 win over the Wizards on Friday night. “He’s been doing well, slowly taking steps. He’s starting to move around a little bit now. He’s starting to be able to run on some underwater treadmill stuff. So he’s starting to get around and move. -via New York Post / December 9, 2023
