Take a moment today and think about Nick Nurse’s mental health.
Ahead of their Wednesday matchup with the Wizards, the 76ers have ruled out both Joel Embiid (foot) and Paul George (groin). It’ll be the 22nd game of 2024-25 that Embiid has missed and his second in a row.
Nurse pushed his starters to the limit with Embiid sidelined for Monday’s loss to the Suns, with no Philadelphia reserve seeing even 14 minutes of action. Guerschon Yabusele was quite good in his spot start, registering a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds in 36.2 minutes. Justin Edwards or Eric Gordon are candidates to start in place of the injured George. With Embiid, George and Jared McCain (knee) off the floor this seasion, Tyrese Maxey sports a 32.4% usage rate and averages 1.22 FPTS per minute logged.
