You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
Joel Embiid wanted to play Sunday, made that clear publicly, but the Philadelphia seventy-sixers organization overruled their franchise center, keeping him out against the Pistons to manage right foot plantar fasciitis. When your best player is lobbying to suit up and the front office says no, that tension is worth watching.
Meanwhile in Detroit, the Packers are already in crisis mode up front. Starting center Sean Rhyan went down on just the seventh play of the game after Josh Jacobs rolled up on his ankle during a carry. Green Bay burned through their depth at center fast, and with the Lions already moving the ball, that interior instability could haunt them all afternoon.
And what a finish in Houston — Devin Singletary, running against the team that used to call him their own, broke free for a thirty-yard touchdown run in overtime to hand the Giants a twenty-seven to twenty-one victory over the Texans. New York needed every yard of it, and Singletary delivered the walk-off moment in the most personal way possible.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
