Valanciunas is a double-double machine who would be a presence down low. Perhaps his biggest appeal is that he is a capable starting center, which could be useful because the Sixers will be careful about Joel Embiid’s health throughout the rest of the season.

Is Joel Embiid playing against the Warriors? The 76ers star's injury status is unknown after he sat out of the first game of a back-to-back.

Following the game, Warriors star Draymond Green shared a hug with Embiid on the court and appeared to say something to the 76ers center. Speaking with NBC Sports Bay Area's Kerith Burke after the game, Green revealed what he said to Embiid. As it turns out, he offered some words of encouragement to the former NBA MVP.
