    • Royce O’Neale held scoreless as starter in Game 3
      Royce O’Neale got the start on Friday and finished with zero points (0-of-5 FGs), five rebounds and two assists against Minnesota.

      Advice: O’Neale moved into the starting unit in place of Grayson Allen, who was sidelined with an ankle injury. However, it wasn’t a good performance for O’Neale, and he wrapped up his scoreless night with an airball with less than a minute left. If Allen remains sidelined for Game 4 on Sunday, O’Neale may get another start, but they’ll need a lot more out of him if they want to extend the series. He played 24 minutes in this game after playing 17 in their last one, which was also a scoreless night. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
       
    • Starting Game 3
      O'Neale will start Friday's Game versus the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

      Advice: Grayson Allen (ankle) will sit out Game 3, but he's considered day-to-day and could be back for Game 4 on Sunday. In 14 starts during the regular season, O'Neale averaged 10.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.9 three-pointers. Rotowire.com Today, 7:09 pm
       
    • Royce O’Neale to start in place of Grayson Allen
      Royce O’Neale will join Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic in the starting unit for Game 3 against Minnesota on Friday.

      Advice: Allen will miss Game 3 due to an ankle injury, which opens the door for O’Neale to move into the starting unit. Eric Gordon should also see some extra minutes off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 7:01 pm
       
    • Reveals medical condition after big game
      Embiid revealed after Thursday's 125-114 win over the Knicks in Game 3 of the first-round playoff series that he's being treated for a mild case of Bell's palsy, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. He finished the Game 3 win with 50 points (13-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 19-21 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 41 minutes.

      Advice: Since making his return to action April 2 following his recovery from left knee surgery, Embiid has routinely been posting big scoring numbers, but he wasn't as efficient as usual, as he converted 44.8 percent of his field-goal attempts in his first games back from the injury. However, Embiid looked as dominant as ever Thursday as the 76ers staved off a 3-0 series deficit, becoming the first player in NBA playoff history to score 50 points on fewer than 20 field-goal attempts. Embiid's postgame revelation of his Bell's palsy diagnosis may be the bigger headline, with the center noting that he first noticed symptoms of the condition following the 76ers' Play-In Tournament victory over the Heat last week. Bell's palsy is a condition in which a person experiences facial weakness or paralysis due to injury to the seventh facial nerve. Based on Embiid's performance Thursday, his play nor his availability are expected to be affected by the issue. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:23 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid scores playoff career-high 50 points
      Joel Embiid shot 13-of-19 from the field and 19-of-21 from the foul line in Thursday’s 125-114 win over the Knicks, scoring 50 points with eight rebounds, four assists, one block, and five 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

      Advice: Embiid still doesn’t appear to be 100 percent, but the Knicks still did not have an answer for him in Game 3. The reigning MVP scored 19 of his playoff career-high 50 points from the foul line and shot well above 50% from the field. The excellent news for Embiid and the 76ers is that they’ll have another two days “off,” as Game 4 is not until Sunday afternoon. Philadelphia still trails the series by a 2-1 margin. Following the game, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Embiid has been receiving treatment for a mild case of Bell’s palsy, which first became an issue during the 76ers’ Play-In tournament win over Miami. While the left knee is why the reigning MVP continues to show up on the injury report, that isn’t the only problem he’s navigating. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:30 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee) available for Game 3 Thursday
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is available and will start Thursday’s game against the Knicks.

      Advice: To no one’s surprise, Embiid will play as the 76ers look to defend home court in Game 3 of a series they trail 2-0. Philadelphia will stick with the same starting lineup, as Embiid is joined by Tyrese Maxey, Kyle Lowry, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Tobias Harris. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:09 pm
       
    • Good to go Thursday
      Embiid (knee) will start Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

      Advice: Embiid carried a questionable tag prior to this update, but he seemed more than fine in the opening pair of games in this series. He made it through his usual warmup, and there's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff, so he seems like a safe bet to handle his regular workload after logging 35-plus minutes in the first two contests of the series.

    • De’Anthony Melton (back) active Thursday
      De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) has been upgraded from questionable to active ahead of Thursday’s 76ers-Knicks game.

      Advice: Melton is set to make his 2024 postseason debut. His nagging back injury has improved enough for him to hit the hardwood and his status will likely reduce Kyle Lowry’s minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:34 pm
       
    • Available to play Thursday
      Melton (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

      Advice: Melton was tabbed a game-time decision for this contest, but he'll be available to see minutes off the bench. He didn't see action in either of the first two games of the series and has played just two games since the beginning of March, so he's not expected to have a heavy workload.
