The league announced that 76ers center Joel Embiid was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week in the final week of the 2021-22 regular season (April 5-11, Beijing time), while lone ranger guard Luka Doncic was named the Western Conference Player of the Week:
Joel Embiid is the player who has the chance to win the regular season MVP award this season, and in the past week, Embiid has averaged 38.7 points, 14.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, in addition to 60.9 percent shooting, 44.4 percent three-point shooting and 75.7 percent free throw shooting, and he has helped the 76ers to a 3-1 record in the past week.
On the other hand, there have been many rumors in the league in recent times that the Lakers see Doug Rivers as a replacement candidate for Frank Vogel, and according to ESPN reporter Stephen A-Smith, Doug Rivers has been considered a popular candidate for a potential new Lakers head coach:
Even so, Doug Rivers' only mission is to lead the 76ers to the championship trophy in the playoffs.
Finally, it should be said that because it has not been fully vaccinated, 76ers Mattis Sebel will not be able to play for the 76ers in the first round of the playoff series to play the Raptors on the road.
In response, ESPN reporter Stephen A-Smith called Mattis Sable and the 76ers a "stupid choice":
Although Irving refused to be vaccinated and eventually "won", Sable is a completely different level of player compared to Irving, at least Sebel still needs to prove himself in the playoffs and improve his value, and it is really unnecessary to refuse a second dose after the first dose of vaccination.
What's more, the 76ers do need Sable to help the team in the playoffs.
