Joel Embiid worked to regain his conditioning after the Sixers’ practice Sunday, while the injured James Harden is away from the team due to a family issue, according to Doc Rivers.
Meanwhile, the Sixers are aiming to cut down costly late miscues; Rivers on Sunday highlighted players breaking the team's defensive “rules” by being pulled in and conceding corner three-pointers in the fourth quarter vs. the Knicks. He also brought up a botched offensive play that he said the Sixers got wrong last Saturday against the Bulls, too.
“These are going to help us in the long run — losing these close games where we figure out, ‘All right, I did this last time. It’s insanity if I think doing it again is going to help us win.’ I think every guy takes a look in the mirror … and we’ll all look at ourselves and continue to grow and be better.”
While having Embiid available tends to make his teammates’ lives easier, the Sixers seem well aware that Harden’s injury is not a small obstacle early in the season. “Now that we’ve been hit by injuries, illness, you’ve got to keep pushing through,” Niang said. “To grow through s---, you’ve got to go through s---. I think that’s kind of where we’re at there.”
