Sixers discuss finally getting healthy for matchup with Bulls at home
The Philadelphia 76ers discuss finally getting healthy for their home matchup with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.
PHILADELPHIA --As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare to take on the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, they will welcome some key pieces back to the lineup. Paul George is set to play in his first game since Jan. 29 after serving his 25-game suspension for violating the league's anti-drug policy.
Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable as he looks to return for the first time since Feb. 26 and Quentin Grimes could return after missing Monday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an illness. As the Sixers convened for shootaround on Wednesday morning, all three were in blue jerseys which indicates that the player is in the starting unit.
Of course, Embiid and Grimes are still questionable, but it looks as if the Sixers expect them to play. "I mean, we’re just glad to have everybody—I mean, not everybody, but whoever we can get back tonight," said Trendon Watford. "I think Jo is still questionable, but whoever we can get back tonight, we're glad to have them back.
Whether it's P, whether it's P, and Jo, whether it's P, Jo and Q, we're glad to have them all back so but we've been down bodies. So, glad to get everybody back. " Of course, Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr.
