    > Sixers say Adem Bona has a right ankle sprain and will miss three games and be re-evaluated on Friday.

    > No concrete updates on Paul George and Joel Embiid, per Sixers. Injury report will be the next key piece of information there. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Adem Bona were the only Sixers to not practice fully today.

    > Asked Nick Nurse what he saw from McCain in Delaware + if he should be expected to rejoin the rotation tomorrow.

    >“I think it was good for him,” Nurse said. Talked about McCain being better earlier in games when playing two long stints.

    >“Yeah, we plan on using him [tomorrow].”

    Adam Aaronson asking Nick about Drummond

    > > Asked Nick Nurse about Andre Drummond’s corner three-point shooting:

    >“Hopefully we’ll get over this huge gasp in the crowd every time he steps to like one up… Even on the road, for whatever reason, they were gasping that he was going to take a three.”

  5. That’s very unfortunate for him, but hopefully it presents an opportunity for PG and Jared to work their way back into the lineup

  8. We looked awful in the 4th Quarter without Oubre last game. With Embiid, PG, and Oubre out, this team just doesn’t have enough offense outside of Maxey. People complain about his “hero ball” but they really don’t have other good options right now. Maxey hero ball is usually better than Grimes hero ball.

  11. Justin Edwards will need to step up, but we really really need PG back and without Bona we need Embiid back also. I don’t love the idea of Barlow for 20 minutes a night at 5. That is not a knock on Barlow but he is such an asset at 4.

  15. Oubre been ridiculously important for us this year. When he doesn’t play well the whole team just doesn’t work. I don’t even think PG will/ can bring what Oubre did early this year.

    And walker, Watford and Edwards can’t shoot and defend and slash like Oubre was doing. We will play Grimes more but that brings a different set of issues

  22. Hopefully just a strain as opposed to tear. Hes been awsome to start the season and his midrange development has been so vital to this team. It looked like his 3 ball has made a lot of progress despite the percentages in the last couple of games.
