Sixers Want Both Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Paul George

According to Marc Stein, the Philadelphia 76ers are working a dream scenario where they can land both Paul George and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Both are unrestricted free agents.

Caldwell-Pope opted out of his $15.4 million option with the Denver Nuggets, and it doesn’t look like he will return to the franchise. Calvin Booth is preparing for the team to lose one of the best 3-And-D wing players, but they’ll have some money to make moves.

For Philly, they have the cap space to land both and give George the maximum contract he desperately wants. The Sixers can offer George a four-year, $212 million deal. It’s only $9 million less than what the Los Angeles Clippers can offer him; however, Trent Redden does not want to pay George that money.

According to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, Paul George is reportedly a member of Philadelphia. Thus, it looks like the door to an L.A. return is ruled out. If they can get KCP, that would be a tremendous bonus.

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.
