Doc Rivers not sure how long Joel Embiid will remain out with injury
Ky Carlin: Doc Rivers isn’t sure how long Joel Embiid will be out. If the Nets win today, then Game 5 is on Monday. #SixersSource: Twitter @Ky_Carlin What’s the buzz on Twitter? CBS NBA @CBSSportsNBA Joel Embiid injury update: Doc Rivers says he’s ‘not sure’ if 76ers star could return in first roundcbssports.com/nba/news/joel-… – 1:17 PM Barbara Barker @meanbarb Nets jump out to a 14-4 lead on Embiid-less Sixers. They need to keep foot on the gas as Sixers were 11-5 without the NBA scoring king this season. – 1:11 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps Perfect start for the Nets, who are defending well (and without fouling) at the rim and knocking down shots. Brooklyn is out to a 14-4 lead four minutes in on the Embiid-less 76ers. – 1:10 PM Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann Sixers offense without Embiid this series so far: 107.8 points per-100, which is below average. They are 2-8 to start today and have dug themselves a 10-point hole early. – 1:10 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin Mikal Bridges drills a turnaround jumper and the Nets lead it 14-4 early. Timeout Doc Rivers. Brooklyn is shooting 5/8 while Philly is at 2/8. #Sixers – 1:08 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed Nets have jumped out to a 14-4 lead over the Joel Embiid-less 76ers here at Barclays Center. With Embiid’s status uncertain going forward, this has to be a confidence boost for a team down 0-3. – 1:08 PM Dave Early @DavidEarly Allie LaForce on TNT says Doc Rivers said “it wasn’t a tear,” regarding Joel Embiid and that they’re “hopeful for a midweek return next week.” (A potential game 6 Thursday would be Midweek I suppose.) – 1:04 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps New ESPN story: As the 76ers try to close out the Nets without Joel Embiid, Doc Rivers said this was “another obstacle in the story that we’re going to write this year.”espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 1:03 PM Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney 76ers-Nets about to tip with Paul Reed starting at center for the Sixers. Will see what the Nets’ defense looks like without Embiid. – 1:02 PM Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers “I feel comfortable, stepping up in place of Joel. He’s been out before and I had to step up and play big minutes. So it’s ain’t nothing new.” – Paul Reed, who will start in place of Joel Embiid. #Sixers #Nets – 1:01 PM Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis Joel Embiid’s status for rest of #76ers–#Nets series uncertain after knee injury nypost.com/2023/04/22/joe… via @nypostsports – 1:01 PM Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer Greetings from Barclays Center. Nets-Sixers Game 4 is upon us. No Joel Embiid due to a knee sprain. Can the Nets force Game 5? Paul Reed is starting in place of Embiid. Nets nearly had Game 3, but couldn’t finish down the stretch.
