Embiid is out due to left-knee injury management. George is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee. The two perennial All-Stars have accompanied the Sixers on the road. The team says they’re continuing to progress in their return-to-play workouts, but they have not participated in five-on-five scrimmages. The Sixers want them to do that before being cleared to play.
“You get enough experience over the few years of not having guys,” Nurse said. “I always try to make my first response about getting really excited about the other guys. See if we can grow them, and maybe they can help us when it does kind of come back together.Nurse has been at the forefront of tactical creativity throughout his coaching career.
“They’re all two-way players as well. It’s kind of positionless even though there’s a little bit of variance in the heights of some of those guys. But it’s positionless.”
