The Spurs agreed to release Jeremy Sochan yesterday. Should the Sixers go after him on the buyout market?

I broke down the pros, cons and financial ramifications at On SI:

Need something to watch over the All-Star break. Help me out: Yellowstone, good or bad?

Mitchell Robinson such a uniquely valuable offensive player. Non-threat outside of the restricted area and yet a one-man anchor b/c he beats everyone to the glass over and over to create extra shots. Could argue he's the Knicks' second or third most important offensive player.

Sixers passes to the Knicks in the first half: 3
Sixers assists in the first half: 8

Incredibly, Sixers are -12 in Bona's 6:19 but also -8 in Drummond's 9:34.

Bona is coming back in.

No flagrant. "Unsportsmanlike" techs on Nick Nurse and Jose Alvarado.

Where is Isaiah Stewart?!
February 12, 2026 at 1:07 AM
There's no reason Charles Bassey shouldn't get a real look in non-garbage minutes tonight. You can't tolerate the complete lack of rim protection on 3 different back-cuts in Bona's first stint.
February 12, 2026 at 1:03 AM
Certainly seems like it's going to be a Knicks home game tonight.

Adem Bona has been inserted into the starting lineup over Andre Drummond.

New On SI: Nick Nurse answered a slew of questions about Joel Embiid's sore knee, which will keep him out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Doesn't sound like anyone's sounding alarms (famous last words).

Nick Nurse: 'Not a Ton of Concern' About Star's Sore Knee
Embiid, who does not have to go to Los Angeles to participate in any All-Star events, will use the week off to rest his knee.

Nick Nurse says there's not a ton of concern about Embiid's knee. Says it's what they've expected through the season.

Dominick Barlow is AVAILABLE, per Sixers.

The Knicks just listed OG Anunoby OUT for tonight's game against the Sixers in Philly.

The Sixers are 4-2 since Paul George’s suspension.

New On SI on the trends that have emerged:

They have and will continue to have to do things they haven't been particularly consistent with all season — winning on the margins.

The Sixers got flattened in the third quarter on the final game of a west-coast roadie.

Sure, they were short-handed, but a particularly disappointing game for Tyrese Maxey:

The Blazers scored 49 points in the third quarter. That is more than 4 points allowed per minute by the Sixers' defense. They have boarded the plane.
