The Raptors have struggled without Barrett this season. He appeared in the team's first 17 games, a stretch in which Toronto went 12-5 and took down a number of playoff teams. Without Barrett, the results have been the polar opposite: a 3-6 record, losing twice to the Charlotte Hornets, and a blowout loss to the New York Knicks in the NBA Cup Quarterfinals on Tuesday night.

Embiid will participate in 62 games and average 28 PPG, 10 RPG and 1.5 BPG, making him a fourth- or fifth-round bargain. It is so easy to be pessimistic about Embiid and not only the constant concerns about him staying healthy, but the numbers when he does play. Many forget he averaged 67 games for the 2021 and 2022 seasons and the numbers were fantastic.

"I've been talking to Cooper Flagg a lot the last couple of weeks, and he's already trying to shape up how he's going to fit into that team by playing the NBA2K26 game with him, integrated with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis," Singh told Alder Almo of Heavy Sports. "He might not get to play with Kyrie for a minute, so it's kind of cool that he gets to simulate that, see how the off-the-ball movement is."
