After acclimating the players acquired in the James Harden trade and the return of Kelly Oubre Jr. from a fractured rib, Nurse must identify the best lineup combinations.

It was hard to tell Oubre was in just his second game back from a fractured rib. Meanwhile, Maxey turned on the jets in the fourth quarter.

Joel Embiid finished with 38 points, 14 rebounds, and four blocks. He appeared to injure his knee but remained in the game. "I just twisted it," he said.

Nurse refuses to blow Harris' dry spell out of proportion, especially when the power forward took averages of 17.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steal into Friday’s game.

Embiid joined Hall of Famer Michael Jordan as the only players with four 50-point, 10-rebound, five-assist games on 60% shooting in the last 40 years.

Despite regular season success, the Sixers fired coach Doc Rivers after another second-round exit. His son, Austin, said on ESPN that it's 'personal.'

Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxeyare the first two Sixers to score 50 points in seperate games during a season since Dana Barros and Willie Burton during the 1994-95 season.

His 12 points and three rebounds in 19 minutes were an important initial personal step — and key to the Sixers’ 131-126 victory at Washington Wednesday night.

If they can get Toronto Raptors small forward OG Anunoby or Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso, they shouldn’t think twice about it.

Embiid’s latest dominant performance against the Wizards lifted the Sixers to an otherwise forgettable 131-126 victory Wednesday night.

Batum is still “trying to get used to the pain,” which he feels “pretty much every time” he catches or passes the ball. But after missing Friday's game in Boston, he is ready to return to the court.

Maxey is putting up career numbers early in his fourth NBA season, confirming his All-Star potential and making him an early frontrunner for the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award.

Thanks to the In-Season Tournament, the Sixers have extra time between games. Nick Nurse has balanced rest and “sharp, intense” practices to get ready for Washington.

In his first comments about the incident in which he suffered a broken rib, Oubre cited the ongoing police investigation. “I won’t be speaking in any detail about that."

The Sixers traded Harden to the Clippers last month, but his relationship with the front office was fractured long before that.
