On January 31, Beijing time, the Warriors defeated the 76ers 119-107 at home, sending the opponent to four consecutive defeats. Embiid came back in this game, but his form was sluggish, with only 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 8 turnovers on 5-of-18 shooting. Embiid also retired early with another injury in the final quarter. Curry had 37 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and shot 8-of-13 from three-point range, with a game-high plus/minus of +26.
Curry has at least five assists and hit five three-pointers in 246 games, the most in NBA history. Behind him are Harden (164) and Lillard (141).
Despite the Warriors' poor record this season, Curry is still outstanding, especially as he is the league's king of key moments this season, ranking first in the league with six key moments. Previously, Perkins said that the Warriors could no longer live up to Curry's prime, and that the Warriors would have no way out this season without a trade. The latest news is that the Warriors are willing to trade Wiggins, Thompson and other big players, and they have discussed Wiggins' single exchange with other teams.
In this game, Thompson was sidelined, and Podzemski took his place. Wiggins ushered in a resurgence with 23 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and he seemed to be regaining his ability to help the Warriors win a championship. The question is whether Wiggins' form can be sustained. Wiggins remains the most likely player for the Warriors to trade right now.
The Warriors defeated the 76ers, but the current record of 20-24 is still in 12th place in the West, and the team's situation is not optimistic. Paul still has to recuperate for about 2 weeks, and even if Paul returns, the Warriors' record is hardly guaranteed.
Kuminga continued to surprise the Warriors with 26 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. Kuminga continues to set a new personal record by scoring 20+ points in 7 consecutive games. In the last seven games, Kuminga has averaged 251 point 67 rebounds and 62 55 77 percent from three.
Embiid was the biggest loser in this game, playing his worst game of the season with a season-low scoring streak and his 30+ streak of finishes stuck at 22. Embiid also suffered a knee injury during the game, and after being pressed by Kumin, he shook his hand in pain. Embiid is likely to miss another game.
Embiid's re-election as MVP is also in a hurry, he has missed 12 games, and if he misses six more games, he will be disqualified from the MVP selection. Under the new NBA rules, players must play 65 games to be eligible for various awards, which has become a huge obstacle for Embiid, who is often sidelined by injury.
