The Sixers small forward, acquired in an offseason trade, was a full participant at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Saturday's home game against the Detroit Pistons, though head coach Brett Brown sounded a little more optimistic.
"I listen to him, he feels good, he's put in the work, and I hope that we can see him tomorrow," Brown said after practice.
Chandler played a little less than three minutes in the team's preseason exhibition opener against Melbourne United before he suffered a strained left hamstring that has kept him sidelined.
In the name of preservation, the team has not wanted to rush Chandler back, hoping that when he does return, there won't be any lingering effects of the injury.
