Joel Embiid has been named an All Star reserve. James Harden was not (a choice I disagree with) – 7:07 PM

Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
DeMar DeRozan earns his second-straight All-Star distinction, the sixth of his career.

Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
Sixers list Embiid (sore left foot) as questionable.
He’s averaging 34.3 points, including 2 games of 40-plus, and 10.7 rebounds in his last 11 games.
Embiid scored 40 in the first meeting between the teams this season, a 114-105 Spurs win Oct. 22 in Philly. – 7:04 PM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Joel Embiid is an Eastern Conference All-Star reserve. – 7:03 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Obviously, Joel Embiid has been named an All-Star for the 6th straight season. He’s averaging 33.5 points and 10.1 rebounds on the season. #Sixers – 7:03 PM

My East all star reserve picks
Joel Embiid
Jaylen Brown
Bam Adebayo
Jalen Brunson
Tyrese Haliburton
James Harden
Pascal Siakam
Toughest omission: Jrue Holiday – 7:03 PM

Justin Grasso @JGrasso_
No surprise, Joel Embiid is an All-Star #Sixers – 7:03 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
#East reserves shortly, which are chosen by #NBA coaches.
Would expect Jaylen Brown to be named to his 2nd ASG.
Relative locks:
Joel Embiid
Julius Randle
Safe bets:
Harden, Tyrese Haliburton, Bam
One of … Butler, Siakam, Brunson, Holiday, Derozan, Murray, Young, Porzingis – 6:14 PM

Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
James Harden isn’t the same scorer as he once was, but The Beard has changed his game a bit in order to help the offense succeed. He has become a catch and shoot 3-point shooter to complement Joel Embiid. #Sixers sixerswire.usatoday.com/2023/02/02/jam… via @SixersWire – 5:25 PM

James Harden is shooting 25-56 on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers this year.
Joel Embiid: “That’s not something he was comfortable with. But he’s gotten better over time and he’s taking more and more. He needs to take more than he does, but it’s a good step.” theathletic.com/4149257/2023/0… – 2:17 PM

Michael Singer @msinger
Bruce Brown said his good friend Georges Niang put on his IG story that Joel Embiid was MVP. Bruce responded and they went back-and-forth promoting their guys.
“On my side, obviously Jok is MVP,” Brown said. – 2:11 PM

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Jimmy Butler has played more games than Steph Curry, Zion Williamson, Anthony Davis. Devin Booker, and James Harden
1 less than Embiid, 2 less than Lillard, KD
Let’s not just sit back and pull the games played card when we feel like it
The focus is Bam, but Jimmy has a shot – 10:13 AM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
The Magic made the Sixers work.
Joel Embiid was forced to hold up in perimeter, isolation defense. James Harden made three catch-and-shoot 3s.
On a night the Sixers stars showed some adaptability: https://t.co/oPpOWD0GTp pic.twitter.com/PknPd6rqHI – 10:08 AM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Joel Embiid on the All-Star reserve selections tomorrow: “I don’t know if I’m going to be an All-Star.” – 10:17 PM

Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Doc Rivers, asked if he feels like he has bigs behind Joel Embiid that he can trust in the playoffs, says that he does trust Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed in the playoffs and that they’ll push each other.
Adds that PJ Tucker will get a look at the backup center spot, as well. – 9:39 PM

Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
4-block quarters in the NBA this season:
Walker Kessler has 4
Jaren Jackson Jr. has 3
Joel Embiid, Christian Koloko, and Evan Mobley have 2
6 other players have 1 – 9:33 PM

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
28-11-3 for Embiid.
26-9-10 for Harden.
Box score probably undersells those efforts. One of the better defensive games for Embiid in a while, and a great halfcourt game for Harden. Good response after the loss the other night phillyvoice.com/philadelphia-7… – 9:23 PM

Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Sixers pull away in the 4th, win 105-94 to split the two game set with Orlando.
Embiid had 28 points on 9-17 shooting to lead the way. Harden added an efficient 26/9/10, although with 7 frustrating turnovers mixed in.
Orlando shot just 6-39 from 3, which helps. – 9:23 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Franz Wagner and Joel Embiid end the game with a playful conversation after Embiid stopped Wagner in a one-on-one situation for the third or fourth time. Strong defensive game for Embiid.
Sixers beat Orlando, 105-94. They are 33-17. – 9:22 PM

Khobi Price @khobi_price
76ers leading 93-83 with 7:38 remaining after Tyrese Maxey’s corner 3. Philly on a 11-2 run.
Magic’s offense has stagnated. These Embiid-less minutes were an opportunity for the Magic to take advantage of and they haven’t so far during this stretch. – 9:09 PM

Khobi Price @khobi_price
End of 3Q: 76ers 82, Magic 78.
Orlando’s only down 4 despite shooting 14.3% (4-28) on 3s.
Taking better care of the ball than Philly and getting out in transition is helping the Magic stay in it. They need to take advantage of these Embiid-less minutes to stay in this one. – 8:55 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
In addition to the 26 points, Embiid’s defense has been excellent so far tonight.
Magic are trying him in isolation way too much, considering the other options on the court. – 8:39 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
Is Embiid asking for a deliberate trip? – 8:38 PM

Embiid at half:
20 PTS
7 REB
8-8 FT
Has made more free throws than the Magic starters combined. pic.twitter.com/WODhBdhi4E – 8:14 PM

Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Frustrating half for Sixers players not named Joel Embiid (and possibly Shake Milton), but Embiid’s 20-point first half performance is enough to erase a lot of the Sixers’ mistakes. Sixers lead 56-53 at the break, despite shooting 40.5% from the field, 6-19 from 3 and with 8 TOs. – 8:14 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Halftime: Sixers 56, Magic 53 after Fultz’s spinning finish at the buzzer. Embiid with 20 and 7. Harden with 10-4-5. Sixers giving themselves a boost at the FT line (16-of-16) on a night they’re not shooting great (40.5) and have 8 turnovers for 14 points. – 8:13 PM

Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
The @Philadelphia 76ers lead the Magic, 56-53, at halftime.
Embiid: 20 PTS / 7 REB
Harden: 10 PTS / 4 REB / 5 AST
Harris: 9 PTS / 2 REB / 3 AST – 8:13 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Can see why this Orlando team has such a good record over the past two months. Super long and athletic team, sure feels everyone not named Embiid on the Sixers is having some issues. – 8:06 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
Embiid has been stranding too many open spot up shooters, settling for tough contested mid range shots or turning it over vs Orlando these last couple games. Bad habits creeping back last 6 quarters. – 8:04 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Annnnd what was a 14-point Sixers lead is down to 39-35 during Embiid’s stint on the bench. – 7:53 PM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Embiid has 16 points on 4-for-7 shooting and going 8-for-8 from the foul line. – 7:44 PM

Noah Levick @NoahLevick
A 17-0 Sixers run to end the first quarter.
Joel Embiid 8 for 8 on free throws in the first, Orlando 4 for 9. – 7:43 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Nifty little behind-the-back pass from Joel to Shake to end the quarter, and he got back for a bucket. 16 points in 12 minutes for the big fella.
15-0 run for the Embiid and bench unit to close the quarter: Maxey, Milton, Thybulle and Niang joining him. – 7:43 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 37, Magic 23 at the end of the first. Biggest differences so far are free-throw shooting (Sixers are 12-of-12, Magic 4-of-9) and turnovers (Magic have 5 for 9 points). Embiid has 16 points (8-of-8 from FT line) and 4 rebounds. – 7:43 PM

Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
The Sixers ended the quarter on a 17-0 run, as the Magic went scoreless over the final 3:50 of the first. Sixers lead 37-23.
All big first half leads are safe with this team so you can comfortably turn off the game if you want.
/s
Embiid’s up to 16 points on 4-7 shooting. – 7:42 PM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Embiid scores right at the buzzer to give the Sixers a commanding 37-23 lead after one quarter. They ended the quarter on a 17-0 run. – 7:42 PM

Austin Krell @NBAKrell
A behind-the-back pass from Joel Embiid to Shake Milton in transition for a give-and-go gets the big man a layup at the buzzer.
Sixers +14 after the first quarter. – 7:42 PM
