>Nick Nurse says **Paul George still needs to get his conditioning back up**, but he’s “really pushing himself” to get in the best shape possible. Said his defensive acumen has really stood out.
>Trendon Watford (hamstring) did five-on-zero work and some drills, but not five-on-five. He’s still a ways away, but Nick Nurse said he’s running better.
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in
Honestly think there’s a chance George plays opening night. Although I’d say game 2 next Saturday is most likely. Watford and McCain probably about 3 weeks away
Guessing PG plays on a minute restriction opening night
We all saw how Embiid looked more comfortable than expected in a fast break offense, but I honestly think PG is the one to watch out for. Even in his prime, he never struck me as some high-flying wing(More of the shot creator type in his prime.)
PG is basically ruled out for opening night but I wouldn’t be surprised if he plays Saturday

>Nick Nurse said the two vets went “all the way through” and it was “a pretty heavy day today” that included 5 on 5
