Before the Bucks game, the Sixers changed its roster with several moves before the NBA trade deadline. They added Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson III from Golden State. Also, they sent James Ennis III to Orlando. They added space in their lineup by waiving Trey Burke.
The Sixers had to make the changes after tensions developed inside the locker room. Al Horford told basketball betting sites that there was some stuff going on in their locker room but they want to keep them within the team.
Ben Simmons and Embiid watched the Super Bowl in Miami with some members of the team ownership group. The next day, Miami Heat crushed the Sixers, 137-106. After the game, there were questions about the job security of coach Brett Brown.
Embiid missed nine games due to a torn ligament in his ring finger. However, he is now healthy and can play in the game against the Grizzlies. On the other hand, Memphis is 26-25 to date. It can level up its record at .500 with a win.
Before the trade deadline, Memphis sent Andre Iguodala to Miami as part of the multi-player deal. The Grizzlies got Justise Winslow, James Johnson, and Dion Waiters in the agreement. Also, the team got Jordan Bell from Houston, based on sports betting reports.
