    >Andre Drummond has no structural damage and he reported feeling better today. Underwent an MRI.

    >Nick Nurse says Andre Drummond should be “back out there fairly soon” and that Drummond was on the court a bit today. Called the news on Drummond “awesome.”

    >Nick Nurse says Joel Embiid did an extra workout on top of practice today, also acknowledging that today’s practice was very light. Basically a walkthrough and film session.

    >Nick Nurse says there’s “a chance” Joel Embiid will return tomorrow vs. Atlanta, “but I don’t know if I would put it as good, bad, or medium.”

    >Sounds like a VJ Edgecombe return tomorrow is at least in play. Nick Nurse said he went through today’s walkthrough, which the team doesn’t bother putting a player in if they know the player won’t be available. Was far from committal.

    Also saw a clip of Nick Nurse saying VJ is the sixers back up point, and and Watford is 3rd point.

  3. So there’s a chance he plays tomorrow but at the same time has to get through some on court activity? What?

  5. He needs to retire. Dude is barely gonna be able to walk when he’s 50. He’s made like $500,000,000 in his career, he has a son and a wife. Just hang em up and live a good rich life.

  6. We waited all these years to get off the contract, now we need to wait a few more years to get off the contracts

  10. Honestly, I can’t stand this anymore. I love the player, or at least what he was, but it’s so tiresome to open any sports news app, or Reddit, and it’s just this same story on repeat ad Infinitum. Can’t take it anymore.
