James Harden won't play until Friday's home game vs. Atlanta. Furkan Korkmaz, recovering from a hamstring injury, is still out.
The Sixers held their annual Blue/White Scrimmage at Chase Fieldhouse in Wilmington, Delaware on Oct. 14, 2023. Before the game Joel Embiid and Coach Nick Nurse share a laugh.Nick Nurse feels the 76ers’ spacing and ball movement took a half-step back in the second preseason game Wednesday night against the Boston Celtics.
“I feel much better,” said Korkmaz, who injured his hamstring Oct. 3, the first day of training camp. “It’s really like day to day. I’m really close to I will be happy to see myself on the court.”Korkmaz, who is trying to earn a spot in the Sixers’ rotation, was sidelined after what felt like a little cramp. The Sixers want to get a look at him this preseason.
“We still have a couple weeks here, right?” said Nurse, whose team will open the regular season at Milwaukee on Oct. 26. “There’s nothing you can do. You can’t necessarily penalize somebody because of a legitimate injury. “So we’ll do the best we can and go live as much as we can leading into the next game . And we’ll certainly give him a good look in the next game.”Korkmaz averaged 3.8 points and 9.5 minutes in 37 appearances last season. He requested a trade due to lack of playing time under former coach Doc Rivers. He looks at this season under Nurse as a new opportunity to get playing time.
“When I get back, I will take those playing minutes ,” he said, “and I will show everybody what I’m capable of. So I’m really motivated by it.”
