On one hand, it would be very Sixers to lose to the Celtics without Jayson Tatum. On the other, maybe Joel Embiid’s appendix really was cursed and this is just another thing finally going Philly’s way…
Draymond wants Adam Silver to find a way to put LeBron in the All-Star game
“I know a lot of people are like ‘oh man he shouldn’t be an All Star’. Shut up. Yes he should. He’s been the face of the NBA for 20 years. Figure it out.”
