The Sixers were back at practice one day after narrowly defeating the Washington Wizards 109-103. As has become the norm, Nick Nurse provided an update on the health statuses of Joel Embiid and Paul George.
Both of them participated in Thursday’s practice — the only Sixers who didn’t were Andre Drummond, KJ Martin and Kyle Lowry. That bodes well for the two stars’ availability for Friday’s matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. They don’t have to officially release the injury report for a few more hours, but it feels like a safe bet that they’ll both be listed as questionable.
