Joel Embiid (illness) was not at shootaround this morning ahead of Sixers-Wizards.

Incredibly grateful to announce that I am joining @jumpman23 as its first NIL athlete! It’s my hope that we can continue to make a difference on and off the court and help improve gender equity in sports for young girls. about.nike.com/en/newsroom/re…

Tatum yelling, “Yo what the fuck is you doing?” Is priceless

Celtics 112, Wizards 94 washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/10…

Nothing up injury-wise with Deni Avdija, who played just 11 minutes tonight, per Wes Unseld Jr. Just didn't love what he was doing defensively.

Beal get his first points of the game from the free throw line, with 2:29 left in the third quarter.

Instead of a story, a series of eyebrow raises

This is the 8th game of Bradley Beal's career he hasn't scored in the first half. Last one was Feb. 2018 against Golden State.

(The Wizards are 5-2 in those games! Hope springs)

Someone alert Jonny Auping. It is, in fact, Jordan Goodwin time

The Wizards starters have combined for 15 points so far. Beal is 0-5

Ok. After one, the Wizards trail 34-15.

Brown has 16p and Tatum has 11. Boston had six 3's, which is the same number of field goals the Wizards have.

Porzingis has 7p

Johnny Davis back on the bench with 3 fouls

John Wall says he wants to play tomorrow against his former team Houston but will probably be held out since it’s a back to back. Wall told his teammates to go out and play with joy and have fun. He feels like the Clippers are feeling pressure.

Pro

Sending love to this woman and to all the women in the Spurs organization right now. I hope they get the full support of the team, office, league, and fans.

I just need to say this again: Many abusers do suffer from trauma and mental illness. Everyone deserves help and treatment for trauma and mental illness. But trauma and mental illness do not *excuse* abusive behavior, and conflating them is irresponsible and dangerous.

This story features absolutely no information beyond the headline, a boilerplate statement from the Spurs and Primo citing a mental health issue. Okay.

A 127-117 loss for the Wizards vs. the Pacers tonight: washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/10…
