Doc Rivers on what he saw from Kelly Oubre in that 35-point effort Monday: “He’s playing great. I was hoping to see the Golden State, first 15-game Kelly Oubre. But that one didn’t show up.” pic.twitter.com/gzgeyGnSsb – 7:03 PM

You may not understand why James Bouknight hadn’t played much prior to Monday. But he does.
“No, that’s great,” Bouknight told me. “We are a playoff team, man, and to get on the court with a playoff team you’ve got to go out and show what you can do.”

Doc Rivers on expectations for Tyrese Maxey tonight: “I don’t know. He was knocked out pretty good. I don’t expect a lot, but we’ll see. He’s young. Those guys seem to recover a lot quicker than us.”
Maxey will return tonight after missing a game with a non-COVID illness #Sixers – 6:25 PM

James Borrego said he could add one more player to the rotation tonight against the Sixers. Mentioned Vernon Carey Jr. as a possibility. Sounds like he’d help guard Joel Embiid if necessary. pic.twitter.com/uVrYmPdkEt – 5:57 PM

Sixers on their fifth day in Charlotte.
Doc Rivers went back and forth for a funeral. Said that he got 18 in on Saturday, though: “I gave the Currys more money, just what they need.”
“I’ve eaten a lot. That’s what I usually what I do on the road, as you can tell by my body.” – 5:44 PM

Correct me if I’m wrong, but nobody reported that Dame wants a trade yesterday, right? There was definitely speculation, but the reporting was on him wanting an extension and Ben Simmons.
So… today’s kind of a strange day to come out so firmly and say “I don’t want a trade.” – 4:21 PM
