As the Philadelphia 76ers now look to move forward following their latest loss to the Indiana Pacers, the focus is on Joel Embiid and his injury recovery. The big fella left the loss at halftime due to a sinus fracture.

McCain is “a really good piece out there to space the floor,” Nurse said. “He made a couple of shots the other night, like the shot clock gets late, ball ends up in his hands, and he goes and gets a bucket. That comes in handy.”

As the Sixers returned to practice, coach Nick Nurse gave an encouraging update on Embiid as he looked spry on Sunday as well as at practice.
