Daily News | Sixers ensured of home court in first round with 133-120 victory over Pacers; need help to get third seed
Embiid is averaging a league-best 30.57 points and is assured of averaging more than 30 points even if he plays and fails to score a point against the Pistons on Sunday. As a result, he joins Hall of Famers Allen Iverson and Wilt Chamberlain to average at least 30 points in a season as a Sixer.
He can also become the first center to average at least 30 points since Moses Malone averaged 31.1 as a Houston Rockets during the 1981-82 season.Danny Green remains a starterThybulle rejoined the team Saturday, but Green remained in the starting lineup. The 13th-year veteran finished with 15 points, three steals, and a block after scoring a season-high 18 against the Raptors.Paul Reed received the Sixers’ backup-center minutes for the second straight game.
Reed played 6 minutes, 26 seconds in the first half. He finished with six points on 4-for-4 shooting to go with three rebounds and three steals. But he also had four of his fouls before being subbed out with 8:24 left in the half. He came back into the game at the start of the fourth quarter only to pick up his fifth foul with 8:22 left. That led to Embiid replacing him.It marked the fifth game Niang missed this season, but only the first one due to injury. The sixth-year veteran missed the other four games after testing positive for COVID-19.“Just precaution,” Rivers said. “If this [was] a playoff game, Georges would be playing tonight.
Niang is having a career season with the Sixers, averaging career bests of 9.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 22.8 minutes per game.
