Hey guys and welcome back to the podcast, I am your host Joshua Unangst and today we are focusing on RJ Barrett and the Knicks. Instead of filling 45 minutes of your time with Kevin Durant, we will be doing it instead with RJ Barrett. We go through the career of RJ Barrett and why all these points/signs prove to everyone that the Knicks were keen on keeping the elite two-way player.
Make sure to follow us on social media and keep up with our newsletter as we go in-depth with RJ Barrett, Donovan Mitchell, and many other topics and players such as those.
According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.
The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.
Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.
Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.
According to multiple reports headlined by Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks want to trade Clint Capela’s expiring contract by this year’s trade deadline.
For those unaware, the 30-year-old is making $22.4 million this season, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Atlanta is reportedly not interested in re-signing him.
Onyeka Okongwu, when Capela is no longer with the franchise, is expected to handle the starting center position. The Hawks believe the young big man can handle those responsibilities.
Capela is averaging 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 games this season.
