The Philadelphia 76ers acquired Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burks from the Golden State Warriors at the trade deadline to give the team more depth on the wing.

Robinson has had his playing time cut in half, which has been disappointing considering he'll be a free agent this offseason. 

“Even when (Golden State) played Philly, I showed them what I could do,” Robinson told Basketball Insiders. “So to play those consistent minutes a night and perform well… that’s the most disappointing part about coming here is that — both of us (are) coming off career years where we’re looking at hopefully big numbers after the season. I know I’ve got a family to feed. So you think about all those things.

“All those things play a role, and then when you come here and your role’s not really explained or you don’t know what’s going on with the trade — it’s not like it was a trade where you come in and immediately have an impact. It’s a little different, so… this team is full of wings, full of guys who can play. So really, I don’t really understand it. But it’s a business, you’ve got to make it happen and go out and try to do your best every night.”

Robinson hopes he'll play a bigger role as the season continues.

“As a competitor, as an NBA player — this is my sixth year — I think that’s always gonna be there to want more and more,” Robinson told Basketball Insiders. “So I’m definitely interested to see what happens down the stretch here.”

Robinson also talked about the impact changing teams in the middle of the season has on a player.

“You’ve got family. You’ve got to try to get out of a lease, move your stuff, all of that. I think that people don’t realize how much it is,” Robinson told Basketball Insiders. “You’re expected to be at the next place in like the next day or two after the trade, so I think it’s just a lot going on. And then, you’ve got to go out on a court and focus and play like nothing happened.

“I mean at the end of the day, we’re still human beings. And that’s what I tell people all the time. To try to get people on a flight the next day is crazy to me. But it is a business. It is what it is at the end of the day and we just try to make it work.”

Joel Embiid has a left shoulder sprain and will be evaluated again in one week.

Testing showed there was no significant damage in Embiid's shoulder.

Embiid's progress will be monitored symptom-based. 

Joel Embiid left the Philadelphia 76ers' 108-94 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first quarter with a sprained left shoulder.

Embiid will have an MRI on Thursday.

"I'm really sort of a prisoner to the medical people's information. I haven't checked in. I just left the team. I'm unsure, I really am unsure," said Brett Brown of Embiid's condition.

Embiid suffered the injury after colliding with Ante Zizic.

The Sixers are already without Ben Simmons for an unspecified amount of time. 

Joel Embiid has been fined $25,000 for making an obscene gesture on the playing court and using profane language during a live television interview.

The amount of Embiid’s fine also reflects his multiple prior violations of acceptable on-court decorum. 

The gesture occurred with 17 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and his comments came during an on-court interview at the conclusion of the 76ers’ 129-112 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Feb. 24 at Wells Fargo Center.  

Ben Simmons suffered a nerve impingement in his lower back and will be reevaluated in two weeks.

Simmons will undergo daily treatment and rehab after consulting with several specialists. 

Simmons suffered the injury on Saturday at the Milwaukee Bucks.

Ben Simmons is still undergoing treatment and evaluation on his back with a course of action expected to be decided soon.

Simmons will be out for at least some time as it is not a day-to-day injury.

It remains unclear how long Simmons will be out.

Simmons was described as emotional upon leaving the X-ray room following the injury. 

Ben Simmons will undergo further tests on his injured lower back on Monday, league sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Simmons has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Simmons suffered the injury during the first quarter of the Sixers' loss to the Bucks.

There is some level of concern surrounding the injury, according to sources. 

Ben Simmons will undergo an MRI on his back on Sunday.

Simmons left the Sixers' 119-98 loss to the Bucks in the first quarter due to tightness in his lower back. 

"He definitely tweaked [the back]," a league source told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Joel Embiid has declared himself the best basketball player in the world and expects the aggression he played with during the All-Star Game to carryover.

"For sure," Embiid said. "The All-Star Game was fun. Being there in the fourth quarter, doing my thing at the end of the game, I thought it was great.

"But the All-Star Game, just proving I'm here, I belong, and being the best player in the world, I just intend to keep coming out every single night and just play hard and trying to get wins and just go out and try to win a championship."

Embiid is averaging 23.3 points, 12.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game this season with the seventh best PER at 25.35.

Jay Wright has again been linked to the New York Knicks, but a source told The Athletic he won't leave Villanova for any other job at this time.

Wright was a candidate for the Knicks in 2018 when they eventually hired David Fizdale.

Wright also has been repeatedly linked to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Wright has been head coach of Villanova since 2001.
