Joel Embiid was asked whether he felt a responsibility to help bring Ben Simmons back on the team if he’s not traded by the deadline. “I don’t get paid to babysit Tyrese. I get paid to challenge him to try to help me win games…and they respond to it.”

Here’s the full answer from Joel Embiid to @Kyle Neubeck’s question about where Ben Simmons stands if he isn’t traded. Embiid spoke for close to two minutes straight, and had plenty to say. pic.twitter.com/fj8Blgyck5 – 10:41 PM

Suns pull out another close game, winning 114-109 here in Philly on the second night of a back-to-back. The Sixers don’t play again until Friday — by when we will know whether or not the Ben Simmons saga has finally come to an end. – 9:22 PM

It would be a lot easier for Nets fans to cheer for their All-Star Weekend participants if they were on the floor. Instead it was crickets after the PA announcer said to make noise for Kevin Durant, James Harden and Patty Mills. – 8:06 PM

James Harden gets a lot of shit, and a good amount of it is warranted, but one thing’s clear: With Kevin Durant hurt and with Kyrie Irving unavailable at home, these Nets are not an NBA team without The Beard on the floor. – 7:54 PM
