The roundup:
Markelle Fultz should be fine, because I totally trust the Sixers crack medical staff and their decision to let him go out on the court and do this:
FULTZ ALARM! His ankle looks fine! Praise to the man above 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/CuhMvFVClM

I mean, they would never let an injured player do anything basketball related if they feared there was any possibility of a setback.
But for real, Fultz looks to be fine.
Cue the doctor who hasn’t examined him analysis:
"It sounds a bit optimistic giving how much he was in pain after [the injury]. But I'd caution a little more than 1-2 weeks." – NovaCare Dr.

Thanks, doctor who hasn’t examined him.
Ben Simmons and Jahlil Okafor were at the game. Oh, what, you didn’t see Big Jah even though he was seated next to Simmons during this national TV interview which I can only imagine Team Simmons had to pre-screen questions for?

And there’s Marla Hooch:
It’s fitting that Okafor is sitting under the NBA Live 18 ad– he’s the lesser version nobody wants.
T.J. McConnell gets some serious love from EASTERN CONFERENCE CENTER in this Hoops Hype piece:
“The most underrated player in the NBA is TJ McConnell from the Sixers. If you just look at his stats, they’re never going to jump out at you, but that little f***er is tough. He’s a tough kid. I remember thinking, ‘Oh, I’ll just screen this little white boy and lay him out,’ but he fights through every screen. He’s gritty and he doesn’t back down from anyone. It’s hard being a point guard in today’s NBA because you’re going against a star most nights, but he holds his own. He demands respect every single night. If you don’t respect him entering the game, you’ll respect him by the second half.”
If Philly becomes a destination solely due to our culinary strengths, I’d be cool wit dat:

Hey, the Phillies!

Credit where it’s due here, though how Joel doesn’t have The Game’s music is beyond me:

David Griffin removed his name from consideration from Knicks GM job.
Katie Nolan is headed to ESPN, yet another network that will try to turn her fun YouTube personality into a 30-minute TV show with commercials.

Can James Harden lead a superteam?
Amazon Prime is nearly as popular as cable TV, which means Amazon Instant Video has almost as much penetration as traditional cable. Still think they won’t be bidding on bigtime sports rights?
What’s more ridiculous? This:

How did you grease your knob? I used to roll up a strand of tape and then tape over it so it created little grooves:
