Embiid has a sprained ankle. We'll try to limit his minutes.
Butler has been 100% cleared for full action. Ditto for MCW.

We play at the Hawks. They are 26-53 and I should be able to rest my guys a bit. Embiid will cut back to 25 minutes per game for the last few. Everyone else below 30 except for Cowen who is begging for minutes...
Interesting game... we jumped to a big lead in the 1st, choked it away in the 2nd. Fell behind by 10 in the 3rd but rallied for a 104-100 win.
Cowen led with 22 points, 5 boards, 6 assists, and 2 steals.
Perkins with 19 points, 9 boards, 3 assists, and 2 steals.
Noel wtih 15 points, 9 boards, and a block as he played more minutes.
MCW with 12 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals.
Embiid with 10 points, 6 boards, and 2 blocks in 25 minutes.
Butler with 9 points, 5 boards, and 5 assists in 24 minutes.
We are now 53-27. Can we get to 55 wins? Even if we do, we are locked into 3rd in the East with no room for movement. I cut back my guy's minutes a bit more...
