Will we see the big three play in the start of the regular season? The stars could align, or we may not see them until later on in the year.
Head Coach Nick Nurse has said Joel Embiid was a full participant in practice up until scrimmage. That’s no different than what Joel Embiid did the first day of training camp. So there has really been no progression. Now, granted, after practice he did three on three with guys of the player development. He was taking a receiving passes in the post from Paul George, but he did that in training camp with Tyrese Maxey. Joel said he wants to wait until he’s 100% and right now that is not the case. As for Paul George, he did not practice in team drills, but has done one on one’s this week.

In this episode, Kayla Santiago and Keith Pompey discuss what this team will look like with or without the big three on Wednesday night. As both stars deal with injuries, the 76ers look for ways to navigate the beginning of the 2024 season. They catch up on the latest with Tyrese Maxey and see who will need to step up.
