A robust injury report for the Detroit Pistons ahead of tomorrow’s matchup with the Sixers.
On re-watch of last 5 mins of the 4th quarter last night, this was an outrageously good pass by Tyrese Maxey.
On the move, moving away from the target, one-handed skip, the target moving, and right into the shooting pocket so no time wasted gathering the ball before Edwards dips into his shot base.

Justin Edwards' faith in his hard work finally paid off on Tuesday. Nick Nurse, of course, was never concerned. He trusts Edwards implicitly.

Justin Edwards was asked if he remembered what he yelled out during his barrage of threes in the fourth quarter.

Dominick Barlow, still OUT tonight as he recovers from a right elbow laceration, is on the court for a pregame session.
As you can see, sleeve on right arm but seems to be bending the elbow fairly comfortably.

VJ Edgecombe was 2-for-9 going into 4th quarter vs TOR and missed his next 3. Then scored 6 straight for the Sixers to stabilize the lead.
Last one was a great ATO by Nurse - Iverson cut for Maxey into an angled ball screen for VJ, both Raptors go with Maxey, gives VJ a layup.

Tyrese Maxey has pretty firmly been one of the 3 best guards in the NBA thus far this season, and you could argue that he's been the second most impactful behind only SGA.

Embiid on the thinking behind his hit-ahead passes tonight: “I see all these guys. I’m here to help out. According to a lot of your peers, I’m not even a top 100 basketball player in this league. So I guess I just gotta fit in and see where I can help the team win.”

Embiid on excitement to return tonight:
“It hit me when I took that first terrible shot. I don’t know what I was doing. But I just felt like, ‘Well, I have the ball’. I don’t even know if anyone was in front of me. I just felt like shooting. I thought I made it and it wasn’t even close.”
