Danny Green on returning to the bench after his injury last night:
“I felt it was important that I be there with them. I tried to come out earlier, but the doc didn’t think it was a good idea. [I wanted to] help coaching, and encouraging, just to have my energy there for them.” – 3:09 PM

Danny Green says the 76ers need to mature more as a team. Says if they had more intent and maturity they wouldn’t have had to go six games with Toronto, and wouldn’t need to be blown out at times to refocus. – 1:41 PM

Danny Green says he’s still waiting on the MRI of his knee. “It doesn’t feel as bad as it looked, I guess. They think it’s gonna be some ligament damage. Hopefully it’s not major…I think it’s pretty much just the outside of the knee. The LCL hurts the most.” – 1:36 PM

Say what you want about Danny Green, but the Sixers looked like a team devoid of a calming presence on the floor following his injury.
But even that isn’t an excuse for the listless effort they put forth with their backs against the wall:

I’m worried that we may have seen the last of Danny Green. If that’s a serious knee injury, he’s probably out all of next season. $10M contract for next year, but it’s fully non-guaranteed. I’ll be shocked if he’s not waived, if for no reason than it saves Philly big tax dollars. – 9:48 PM

Sixers who played more first-half minutes than usual due to Danny Green’s injury (Thybulle, Korkmaz, Niang) combined to go 0 for 4 from three-point range.
Max Strus is the game’s leading scorer at halftime with 16 points.
Sixers sure would like more than 4 FTAs in second half. – 8:16 PM
