Overview

  • Head coach Nick Nurse said Embiid's return hinges on pain tolerance and on-court activity, with no definitive target date.
  • Andre Drummond exited Friday's win with a right knee contusion, received a clean MRI, and is listed questionable for the Hawks.
  • Nurse noted Drummond remains sore but expects him back fairly soon if symptoms continue to improve.
  • Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford remain out, while VJ Edgecombe is questionable, leaving the Sixers thin in the frontcourt against Atlanta.
