Kate Scott talks Sixers playoffs, Embiid for MVP ahead of Nets matchup

Memo to the French fans booing the 76ers’ star for choosing to play for the U.S. instead of the host nation: Embiid plays in Philly, where fans are, in a word, passionate.

“I owe it to the fans, to ownership, to everybody to get this team in a place where we're competing for championships,” Daryl Morey said.

The All-Star guard saved Philadelphia from elimination with seven points in the final 25 seconds of regulation, ending Game 5 of the first-round series 112-106.
