Mitchell Robinson making a case for an All-Defense selection this season. Tough competition just in his own conference with Embiid, Antetokounmpo, Jarrett Allen, Capela and Adebayo but deserves consideration moving forward. Rebounding is top notch. – 10:31 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Zach LaVine has 41, the Bulls beat the Embiid-less 76ers, and Billy talks about what AK is thinking as the trade deadline approaches. What say you about this roster, Zach? This one has it all …

Sixers lose to Chicago, 126-112. They are 23-15.
Sixers have been lucky with opponent 3-point shooting all season. Not tonight. Without Joel Embiid, they got shredded and Zach LaVine (41 points) and Chicago made them pay. Bulls shot 20-34 from beyond the arc. – 9:18 PM

Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Nikola Vucevic is taking advantage of not having Joel Embiid in his face tonight. 17 points, 16 rebounds thus far. – 8:25 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
Sixers we’re up 9 with 3:25 to go when Embiid went for this block, landed in traffic and hurt his foot. Doc says he’s not concerned but some pretty tired looking guys will try to pick up the slack here at home in 2nd half vs chi. They miss Jo.

Well, #Bulls have established this is a game they should win. After trailing by 13, they lead Embiid-less 76ers 59-55 at half. Vucevic taking advantage with 14 pts, 12 rebs. – 8:02 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
Must’ve pained Joel Embiid to be hurt for this one because this had Embiid 50 burger written all over it. – 7:49 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
No Joel Embiid, Alex Caruso or Javonte Green tonight for Sixers-Bulls. Sixers going small again with their three-guard look of Harden/Maxey/Melton and PJ Tucker at center.
Chicago will try to continue its success against the elite teams in the East after beating Brooklyn Weds. – 7:11 PM

Sixers sticking with P.J. Tucker as the starting center tonight, with Harden, Maxey, Melton and Harris. Embiid will miss his second consecutive game with foot soreness. – 6:31 PM

Justin Grasso @JGrasso_
Doc Rivers said that Joel Embiid is “doing better,” and the #Sixers aren’t concerned about his foot soreness.
“He’s working his way back. He’s not going to play tonight, and we’ll evaluate what he’s gonna do going to Detroit,” Rivers said – 6:29 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Doc Rivers said Joel Embiid is doing better but won’t play tonight. Also said he’s not worried it will be a long-term absence. – 5:28 PM

Doc Rivers says Joel Embiid is “doing better” but he doesn’t know how long he’ll be out. Says it remains something that the team isn’t concerned about long-term. – 5:17 PM

Tom Ziller @teamziller
There are really just two races for All-Star starter in play: Zion vs. AD and Embiid vs. Tatum.
Fan vote should decide the former, but player vote — which has historically been strangely unkind to Tatum — could determine the East. Post is unlocked: ziller.substack.com/p/fantasy-vs-r… – 9:23 AM

Out of KD, Giannis, Tatum and Embiid, someone will be left out of the voting (and media voting) for the East frontcourt. Ohh, feelings will be hurt – 8:33 PM
