Sixers center Joel Embiid looks for a foul call during the game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Dec. 23.“I had to take a picture of that,” a gleeful Tyrese Maxey said with his cellphone in hand. “We may never see this again.”
“I just don’t know how you guys do it,” Embiid called out to his teammates who care far more about their game-day ‘fits. “This took me like 45 minutes to pick.” And when the Sixers emerged from the locker room about 15 minutes before tipoff, Maxey led them out of the tunnel. Rivers has long picked the brains of football coaches, who impress him with their ability to get 11 players to buy in and execute on every snap. During the last two seasons, Rivers and Eagles coach Nick Siriani have developed a rapport of respect. And Rivers, naturally, is a “big Saban guy,” referring to Alabama coach Nick Saban, who is perhaps the greatest in the history of his sport.
But some tight quarters in New Orleans — where a training table was set up in the middle of the Sixers’ locker room — offered a glimpse at what Tucker goes through before games. Joe has carved out a rotation role with the young Thunder, shooting 44.8% on 3.6 three-point attempts per game. He went 2 of 3 from deep Saturday against the Sixers, and finished with eight points and five rebounds.
