   >Nick Nurse said he thought De’Anthony Melton again looked good to him physically in his first stint, that Melton’s five-minute night was just how the rotation shook out.

   >Nurse said it’d be nice to get Melton more minutes Sunday vs. Brooklyn.

2. Rest him for nets game?

3. Curious if the magic lose does that mean we get the 6th seed

4. this is the worst kind of report lol, these always end with embiid missing a game

5. Not a doctor and thoroughly traumatized by Joel’s injury history, so really unsure what to make of all this. Whatever’s going on seems to be transient based on him moving well in between sporadic limping, but this feels like copium.

   Assuming there’s still no swelling tomorrow, is it possible he’s just still feeling out the knee and getting spooked? Somebody tell me how to feel.

6. He’s clearly playing on one leg, the man can barely move out there. L
