The Sixers got 40 from Tyrese Maxey and 37 from Joel Embiid in the win vs. the Kings.

Tyrese Maxey scored 40 points, including the winning layup with 1.3 seconds remaining, Joel Embiid had 37 points and the Philadelphia 76ers rallied to edge the Sacramento Kings 113-111 on Thursday night.

On the surface, it doesn’t look as though the Philadelphia 76ers pose much of a threat in the title picture. The 76ers needed a late surge to get past the struggling Sacramento Kings at home, 113-111, on Thursday, with Tyrese Maxey making the go-ahead layup. And their record on the season, 26-21, doesn’t inspire much […] The post Joel Embiid calls out 76ers front office, seeks improvement at trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein was set to return Thursday night against Minnesota after missing 16 games because of a strained right calf. Hartenstein last played Dec. 28 in a victory over Philadelphia. The return of the 7-foot Hartenstein gives Oklahoma City added size to pair with 7-foot-1 big man Chet Holmgren.

The Nets, 76ers, Kings, and Raptors are not necessarily the Mount Rushmore of contenders in the NBA today. So a four-game winning streak against them alone shouldn’t, and doesn’t, overwrite the 2-9 11 game stretch the Knicks experienced not too long ago. But, if you look at the way they have played since players spoke […]

While it’s an interesting nugget, it’s hard to imagine the Sixers and Bucks landing on a deal.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has had the Minnesota Timberwolves on his list of teams he would be interested in joining dating back to last offseason, sources tell The Stein Line.
