DJ Wilson is indeed awaiting clearance from some sort of league protocol to play tonight. Unclear why – 8:25 PM

Fyi for those asking…DJ Wilson is awaiting clearance through the league’s protocols. Raptors hope he’ll be available for the second half. – 8:23 PM

Sixers by 4, 4:09 left in the half
I’m kind of confused by the fact Joel Embiid, against this version of the Raptors, has 5 FGAs in 12 minutes and being out-rebounded 10-4 by Chris Boucher – 8:23 PM

DJ Wilson is still waiting to clear protocols, per the broadcast. Raptors hope to have him available in the second half. Until then, they’re down to 9 bodies (we’ve seen 8 so far… no Juwan Morgan yet). – 8:19 PM

It appears Siakam isn’t dealing with aftereffects of #COVID. He’s slaying the #Sixers. The #Raptors forward has 14 points on 6-8 shooting. – 8:07 PM

Sixers 27, Raptors 24 at the end of the first. Pascal Siakam (14 points on 6-of-8 FG, 2 assists) with a huge quarter in his return from protocols. Embiid with 8-3-2. Sixers turned four Raptors turnovers into 6 points. – 8:05 PM

Right out of protocols, Siakam with maybe his best quarter of the season, a 14-point, 2-assist, 1-block masterpiece.
The Raptors trail 27-24 after a quarter. – 8:05 PM

Pascal Siakam scored or assisted on 19 of the Raptors’ 24 first-quarter points.
He had 14 points on 6-8 FG. Everybody else: 10 points on 4-12 FG.
Siakam got a short rest in the middle of the Q but still logged 11 minutes.
Sixers by 3 after 1Q. – 8:05 PM

DJ Wilson looked rather solid in that blow out loss against Cleveland but he’s no where to be found tonight. Wasn’t in warmups and is not on the bench. – 8:01 PM

Without Birch and Achiuwa, slowing down Embiid has gotta be a team thing. Tough matchup for Boucher, who’s giving up 80-100 pounds. Embiid has half of the Sixers’ first 14 points.
Nice to see the Raptors’ O running through Siakam, who’s scored or assisted on 4 of 5 buckets. – 7:50 PM

While 11 of the Raptors’ 16 players have been in COVID protocols this month (all of them fully vaccinated), Nurse notes that none have experienced more than minor symptoms.
“I’m confident that once this thing passes this week we should be OK and get up to speed pretty quickly.” – 6:11 PM

There’s a good chance that #Sixers reserves Shake Milton and Andre Drummond could return in time for Thursday’s game at the #Nets. Tomorrow is Day 10 of their quarantine. But their return will depend on conditioning. – 6:10 PM

I am still awaiting answer from the city on whether city guidelines have been changed for Raptors, but
a) Raptors have said no player returns without city’s OK
b) 10-day isolation period can start at first symptom, not date of positive test. – 2:41 PM
