Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, believe it or not, the Sixers are down pretty bad right now. The Grizzlies beat the Suns in spite of KD passing the 30,000 point mark. And we have James Edwards on to talk about the Knicks and their big win over the Pacers. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Zena. Before we get started, I want to tell you guys a bit of exciting news.
We launched a Discord. Now, Zena, I don't really know what Discord is, but I don't either. It's like a chat room. No, no, no, no.

And they were doing it at home in front of the Super Bowl champion Eagles who showed up. And the game ends, and I'm just going to jump straight to the end. They lose to the Raptors because the Raptors have turned into this punchy team who's doing things.
We're going to have to talk to someone up there, maybe just us. But the end of the game, Joel Embiid, it's his moment. This is the reason he has the big five-year $300 million left on his contract. Gets the ball wide open, 10 seconds left. They're down two. He has a chance to win or maybe take a step in, tie the game up, and instead, he doesn't look comfortable. He does a little drive.
