Injuries

Sixers-Kings by the Numbers (Courtesy of stats.nba.com and basketball-reference.com)

  • 27.4 - Nerlens Noel’s PER entering tonight’s game
  • 2.4 - Joel Embiid’s blocks per game. That’s good for second in the association among centers who’ve played 480 minutes or more.
  • 22.8 - Joel Embiid’s PER. He’s second among Eastern Conference centers who’ve played 480 minutes or more. He leads all rookies as well.
  • 57.7 - Joel Embiid’s shooting percentage from shots 16-feet to the 3-point arc.
  • 2 - The number of top-10, first-round picks the Sixers could have in the 2017 and 2019 drafts. That unprotected 2019 first-round pick from Sacramento is definitely appealing.
