Daily News | Sixers coach Doc Rivers defends decision to have Joel Embiid in late during a blowout
Doc Rivers caught some criticism for playing Joel Embiid and the other 76ers starters late in a blowout victory to close out the Toronto Raptors on Thursday.

And in the playoffs, just so everyone knows, so we can not talk about blame and talk about winning this next series.”“I’m about to answer that, all right,” he said. “Because everyone was in.
