What a pleasant homecoming.
Ahead of Nick Nurse’s pregame media availability Monday, the Sixers ruled out Joel Embiid and Kyle Lowry. The reasons were given as a left foot sprain and hip soreness, respectively.
Embiid has appeared on the injury report every game since Christmas with that foot sprain, but this is the first game he’s set to miss because of it. He sat on Jan. 1 in Sacramento, but that was the front end of a back-to-back, with the second matchup taking place on national television.
Nick Nurse said Embiid sprained his foot a few games ago and is day-to-day.
