As the Philadelphia 76ers' trying season continues, could it spell the end of head coach Nick Nurse's run with the team? Health concerns with 76ers All-Star Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey have added to the issues plaguing Philadephia from emerging into playoff contention.

Sixers stars Paul George (left groin soreness) and Tyrese Maxey (lower back sprain) remained sidelined. Sixers head coach Nick Nurse said pregame that Kyle Lowry’s injured right hip has been feeling “a lot better.

Nick Nurse realizes that the 76ers' key players, like Kelly Oubre Jr and Guerschon Yabusele, are being over-extended.

Nick Nurse says he thinks the team is “getting closer” to making a decision on Joel Embiid’s treatment, and that Embiid has an evaluation today.Source: Twitter @SixersAdam
