Nasty night in Boston, will see how it impacts the crowd. En route to #Celtics #Timberwolves. Should hear about Robert Williams, Rudy Gobert and Kyle Anderson’s status in an hour. They were all questionable to play. – 4:36 PM

@KyleNeubeck
it’s tripping me out that tonight could be the first time I’ve seen Kawhi play in person since pre-COVID.
That was probably best Sixers win/game of the Horford year, perhaps not coincidentally the night he was moved to the bench. Sixers were somehow 25-2 at home after that win! – 4:25 PM

The longest anyone else in the NBA has gone without one?
