Valanciunas is a double-double machine who would be a presence down low. Perhaps his biggest appeal is that he is a capable starting center, which could be useful because the Sixers will be careful about Joel Embiid’s health throughout the rest of the season.

The Philadelphia 76ers (13-19) wrapped up a West Coast trip by squaring off with the Golden State Warriors (17-16). The Sixers got Joel Embiid back in the lineup but played some of the least inspired ball they’ve played all season.
