James Harden Expected To Practice Tuesday With Sixers

The Philadelphia 76ers and James Harden may be cleaning up their mess, before it gets too out of hand with the league, as it’s expected Harden will report to their practice on Tuesday.

Despite not being able to travel with the team, or playing in their home opener, there is a real possibility of him getting some minutes in Thursday’s game against the Toronto Raptors.

According to head coach Nick Nurse, the veteran guard has gone through the walkthrough for Sunday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Plus, he participated in video work.

It is very much expected of him to rejoin the team and to start practicing full-time again.

With all that said, the next step is for Harden to do live work to test whether or not he is eligible to play against Toronto. A decision is most likely to be made shortly after that practice.

Joel Embiid (Sinus) Upgraded Questionable For Friday

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.

Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.

Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.

Joel Embiid Suffers Sinus Fracture; Out At Least A Week

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, they will be without Joel Embiid for at least the next week due to their big man suffering a right sinus fracture.

The injury happened last Friday against the Indiana Pacers, which saw Bennedict Mathurin attempt to grab the rebound; however, upon landing, his arm crashed into the face of the 30-year-old.

Once Embiid went to the locker room, he never returned to the bench.

Embiid has only played in six of the 23 games this season.

Andre Drummond (Ankle) Out Next Three Games

According to multiple reports, confirmed by the Philadelphia 76ers, Andre Drummond will be sidelined for the next three games due to suffering a sprained ankle.

The 31-year-old suffered the injury during November 30th’s game against the Detroit Pistons early in the first quarter. After suffering the injury, Drummond was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Philadelphia will re-evaluate him later this weekend, as they’ll take on the Charlotte Hornets and back-to-back games against the Orlando Magic.

In 17 games this season, Drummond averages 8.1 points and 8.2 rebounds in 20.4 minutes.
