After consulting top specialists, the 76ers determined that Embiid is medically unable to play and will miss the rest of the season, according to a team statement. The two sides will continue working with medical experts to determine a treatment plan going forward. The 30-year-old center played against the Celtics and Nets last week, but didn’t look like himself out there. With Embiid shutdown for the rest of the season, Guerschon Yabusele and Andre Drummond will handle the center minutes in Philadelphia. Drummond is still available in most leagues and worth adding.

Bagley has taken advantage of his opportunity with Philadelphia. He’s on a second 10-day contract, and he was able to record his second consecutive double-double in this game. He set new career highs for both rebounds and steals after recording a 20/10 double-double on Friday. Bagley likely didn’t do enough to earn a standard contract, and he will probably be back in the G League next season. Still, it was cool to see him play this well.

Walker signed with the 76ers right after the All-Star break and ended up having a solid season for them, albeit in just 20 appearances. He ended it on a high note with new season highs for both points and three-pointers. He averaged 12.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.3 triples in 23.8 minutes per game this season. The 76ers have a team option to keep Walker for another season, but with the team healthy heading into next year, it’s unlikely that he replicates these numbers.

Maxey, who has been sidelined since early March, should be ready for the start of next season, but it’s going to be a little while before he returns to playing basketball. Maxey’s season has been over for a while, and the 76ers aren’t going to play in the postseason, so this won’t have any immediate impact. However, it appears that his finger injury is fairly severe, since it’ll end up being close to three months off before he returns to basketball activities.

Reid took a Jarred Vanderbilt elbow to the mouth during the second half of Saturday’s series opener, and that was all that slowed him down. The Timberwolves’ backup big scored 17 in the first half and finished the game one steal shy of a complete stat line. Since scoring 20 points in a March 24 loss to the Pacers, Reid surpassed 15 points once in his final eight appearances of the regular season. The Lakers utilized a “boxes and elbows” defensive strategy in an attempt to keep Anthony Edwards out of the lane, which resulted in players like Reid getting cleaner looks. His play (and that of Jaden McDaniels) could force the Lakers to alter their approach for Wednesday’s Game 2.

Towns was impactful on both ends of the floor in his first playoff game in a Knicks uniform. In addition to shooting well over 50 percent from the field, he recorded a complete stat line and did not commit a turnover. To say he looked far more comfortable on Saturday than he did in New York’s April 10 loss to the Pistons would be an understatement. The Knicks will need Towns to consistently reach (or exceed) the level he played at on Saturday to go deep into the playoffs. Game 2 is on Monday night.

While Turner had just five rebounds in Game 1, he was otherwise excellent. The 29-year-old center was a force on the defensive end with a steal and four blocks. On the offensive end, he was able to make four three-pointers as the Pacers pulled away from the Bucks. Turner vastly outplayed his counterpart Brook Lopez as the Pacers took a one-game advantage in the series.
