Odd game for Tobias Harris. First ever triple double, career high 14 free throw attempts, draining career high 13. But shot 3 of 12 to go with 4 turnovers and five personals. Filled every possible box score category here. – 10:21 PM

Sixers beat Siakam, Trent and the skeleton crew Raps, 114-109. They are 18-16.
Weird one. Close to flawless from Embiid (36 and 11 on 11-16 FG and 12-14 FT), bench was good, Maxey and Harris couldn’t buy one, weird decision to let Boucher get going to start the third quarter. – 10:08 PM

Raptors drop this one but remarkable effort under the circumstances. 6 roster players available & just 2 starters, who were both coming off 2-week layoffs. No Cs vs Embiid-led Sixers, but they fought hard.
They don’t play again until NYE, should have a few more guys back by then – 10:04 PM

Sixers 27, Raptors 24 at the end of the first. Pascal Siakam (14 points on 6-of-8 FG, 2 assists) with a huge quarter in his return from protocols. Embiid with 8-3-2. Sixers turned four Raptors turnovers into 6 points. – 8:05 PM

Right out of protocols, Siakam with maybe his best quarter of the season, a 14-point, 2-assist, 1-block masterpiece.
The Raptors trail 27-24 after a quarter. – 8:05 PM

Pascal Siakam scored or assisted on 19 of the Raptors’ 24 first-quarter points.
He had 14 points on 6-8 FG. Everybody else: 10 points on 4-12 FG.
Siakam got a short rest in the middle of the Q but still logged 11 minutes.
Sixers by 3 after 1Q. – 8:05 PM

DJ Wilson looked rather solid in that blow out loss against Cleveland but he’s no where to be found tonight. Wasn’t in warmups and is not on the bench. – 8:01 PM

Without Birch and Achiuwa, slowing down Embiid has gotta be a team thing. Tough matchup for Boucher, who’s giving up 80-100 pounds. Embiid has half of the Sixers’ first 14 points.
Nice to see the Raptors’ O running through Siakam, who’s scored or assisted on 4 of 5 buckets. – 7:50 PM

While 11 of the Raptors’ 16 players have been in COVID protocols this month (all of them fully vaccinated), Nurse notes that none have experienced more than minor symptoms.
“I’m confident that once this thing passes this week we should be OK and get up to speed pretty quickly.” – 6:11 PM

There’s a good chance that #Sixers reserves Shake Milton and Andre Drummond could return in time for Thursday’s game at the #Nets. Tomorrow is Day 10 of their quarantine. But their return will depend on conditioning. – 6:10 PM

I am still awaiting answer from the city on whether city guidelines have been changed for Raptors, but
a) Raptors have said no player returns without city’s OK
b) 10-day isolation period can start at first symptom, not date of positive test. – 2:41 PM
