Joel Embiid (thumb) is not listed on the Sixers’ injury report for tomorrow’s Game 4 at Toronto. He was wearing the soft brace during today’s practice, but Doc Rivers said that was just for precautionary reasons.
Toronto’s Scottie Barnes (sprained ankle) is listed as doubtful. – 4:37 PM

As the Raptor say Scottie Barnes is doubtful for Saturday, this from Nick Nurse earlier
“Not gonna rule out the possibility he’s gonna play, but he’s still doubtful. Did go through little bits of practice today. That’s where we are.” – 4:23 PM

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has some strong thoughts about a system in which members of the media vote on the NBA’s top awards. Green said on his podcast Wednesday that it’s “absolutely disgusting” the media determines the league’s individual honors. “I think when you look at voting for All-NBA, when you look at voting for Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved Player, MVP, ultimately these things are voting on by the media, which I think is absolutely disgusting,” he said at the 4:40 mark. “Because these are human beings that could have personal issues against guys because that does happen.” -via Bleacher Report / April 21, 2022
Gerald Bourguet: Monty Williams on Mikal Bridges finishing 2nd in DPOY voting: “One, congrats to Marcus, he’s an amazing defender and has been for a long time, and he’s finally getting his due. At the same time, I was a bit stung when Mikal didn’t get it, but I was also happy he finished 2nd.” -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / April 19, 2022
Mark Medina: Draymond Green on the DPOY award: “I’m extremely happy for Marcus Smart. That’s a guy I respect as a defender. Well deserved.” -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / April 19, 2022
