Sixers happy with Joel Embiid's progress
Joel Embiid has been reevaluated by doctors and they are “happy with the progress” the 76ers center is making following meniscus surgery on his left knee, Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse said Saturday. “I think there’s always stages of how these things progress,” Nurse said before the Sixers’ 109-98 win over the Charlotte Hornets. “Everyone wants to know ‘Well how long is it going to be?” And they give a wide range because of that, because everyone heals differently. We’re just trying to take it as it comes, get him healthy and get him back when he’s ready to go.”

Thursday’s loss in Milwaukee dropped the Sixers to 10-22 without Joel Embiid this season.
Somebody who understands how difficult it is to adjust without the MVP? Doc Rivers.
“We did it, but it took a minute. It’s hard. It really is.”

Pretty good performance overall, even from Harris down the stretch, but no moral victories around here. Another L without Embiid.
