Gina Mizell: Nick Nurse’s pregame availability is delayed because the team bus he is on is caught in San Francisco (and Super Bowl week) traffic. There were no players/staff on the court when I arrived at the arena, which is unheard of. Stars, they’re just like us!
Austin Krell: Joel Embiid is OUT for tonight's game against the Golden State Warriors on the second night of a back-to-back. Everyone else not named Paul George is available. GSW will be without Steph, Jimmy, and Kuminga.
The fact that Harden missed the last two Clippers games for what the team has labeled “personal reasons” sparked speculation that his absences were tied to the trade talks, but the sources close to him insisted that was not the case. Harden was not with the team during its loss to the Philadelphia 76ers at Intuit Dome on Monday night, and it remains unclear if he’ll be back to play against — wait for it — the Cavs in a home game on Wednesday night. Garland, it should be noted, has not played since Jan. 14 because of a toe injury that has proven to be worse than originally believed.
Warriors star Stephen Curry will miss Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers with a persistent right knee issue that forced him out of Golden State's previous game. The team is officially listing the injury as patellofemoral pain syndrome, also known as "runner's knee," typically consisting of swelling and pain around the kneecap.
Anthony Slater: Officially listed as patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee) for Steph Curry. Out tomorrow vs Sixers. Getting persistent treatment on that right knee.

“Obviously, we’ve been ducking the (luxury) tax past couple of years, so hopefully, we’ll keep the same team," Embiid said after the 76ers' win over Sacramento. "I love all the guys that are here. I think we got a shot. “I don’t know what they’re gonna do, but I hope we get a chance to just go out and compete because we’ve got a good group of guys in this locker room. The vibes are great. Like I said, in the past we’ve been, I guess, ducking the tax, so hopefully we think about improving, because I think we have a chance.”
PHLY Sixers: After his 40 point game, Joel Embiid gave Sixers staffer Simon Rice for helping him get back to where he is today. “I would say probably everybody gave up on me. He’s the one guy who just kept trying to figure it out. What can I do?…I’m really thankful, he was my one person.”
