#Sixers coach Doc Rivers on taking to players about trade rumors: ‘It depends which half-rumor is out there.’ Doesn’t like when writers suggest trades and then report them. Says some guys read everything and others don’t follow closely. – 5:24 PM

Tobias Harris (shoulder) will play in the Sixers game tonight, Seth Curry (ankle) is a game-time decision.
Tyrese Maxey will play after missing four games in the protocols. Doc Rivers said he was able to work out a few times over the past few days. – 5:21 PM

Doc Rivers on Joel Embiid’s 31-point night in 26 minutes: “On a night like tonight, you have a lot of guys out, you’re playing a team that’s struggling right now, you can’t come in here and mess around, I thought Jo was very serious to start the game.” – 11:51 PM
Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
Doc Rivers on the @Philadelphia 76ers‘ 7-game winning streak:
“We’ve had to do it a lot of different ways. I think our guys have finally found a way to play no matter who’s out on the floor – and that’s why we’re winning games.” – 10:29 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Big greetings from Doc Rivers and Sam Cassell for K.J. Martin. Guessing they knew him when he was the little kid on his dad’s lap on the podium. Good seeing Sam at halftime. Looks good, like he is planning a comeback. – 9:20 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Doc Rivers said before the game that before coaching Korkmaz, he didn’t realize he could get to the bucket like he can. Gets the fingerrolll there and is up to 12 points on 4-of-4 shooting. – 8:55 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Doc Rivers said Andre Drummond either throws tremendous passes or “tremendous passes.” Embiid just had one of the latter running the break lol – 8:26 PM
