🚨 BIG 76ers Injury News Ft. Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris, De’Anthony Melton, Batum, Lowry & Covington

The injury list is long for the Philadelphia 76ers coming out of the All-Star break and coming up on today’s 76ers now multiple injury updates on the Sixers front but first Hoops is back tonight ball is back 76ers taking on the New York Knicks I don’t like the Knicks

This is a division rival and a close proximity rival these two teams don’t really have a long history as far as the playoffs go because the Knicks have been a bad Organization for a really long time but type this down in the comment section beat New York beat New York beat

New York get with me on that and with that let’s talk about these 76ers injuries right now and I’m Chase senior this is 76ers Now by chat sports we have some injury updates on Joel embiid Tobias Harris DeAnthony Melton Nicholas tomb as well as Robert Covington as Philadelphia

Starts the second half back half of the schedule coming out of the NBA Allstar break let’s start off on the Joel embiid front he got surgery a couple of weeks ago in case you missed it the other day we sat down with Dr David Chow we talked about that Joel mbid procedure and

According to Ramona shelburn Joel embiid at the Sixers practice facility on Tuesday earlier this week that’s of course really good news here’s the report from shelburn there is an optimism in Philadelphia that Joelle embiid can return at some point during the regular season at least close enough

To the playoffs to get that Rhythm heading into the playoffs but the Sixers do not want to put any time frame on it until he starts ramping up but I’m told he went to practice on Tuesday got there early to see how everything was in the morning his enthusiasm is there and

That’s a really underrated thing for Joel embiid I love his personality when everything is moving in a good direction when he’s feeling good and then you play bad body language doctor when things are a little bit arduous and not going well when he’s dealing with adversity so you

Have him coming back to practice him showing off that personality positive spirits and then Nick nurse sat down with John Clark NBC Sports Philadelphia and said it’s our hope that we’re going to have Joel MB back for the playoff run any positive news about about Joel it’s

Always great to hear and here’s what the afor mention Nick nurse had to say about the process Joel’s been really positive he’s happy he likes some of the new additions he thinks that the team is getting better he really wants to be out there I hope to get to a couple of weeks

With Joel before the NBA Playoffs get underway I don’t know what to expect we’re a couple of weeks in probably a couple more to go before we get an eval short for evaluation of where we’re going to be I hope that we can get a

Couple of weeks in and get him in some games and get him healthy now you think about this embiid injury this is kind of an invasive surgery here as we talked about with Dr David xia and the complexities to it he had this similar surgery back a couple of years ago so

How soon could he really return you look at the injury timeline here February 6th he undergos the surgery and 4 weeks out he’s going to be re-evaluated that’ll come on March 6th on April 8th that’s 8 weeks out where the Sixers are hopeful at some point soon he’s going to be able

To return and April 8th is right on the cusp of the playoffs getting underway that’s the start of the NBA playoffs on April 20th a date that a lot of people out there really looking forward to for a multitude of reasons it’s very very important that embiid gets time I think

To ramp up before the playoffs start because we’ve seen with embiid sometimes it can take him a little while to get acclimated to get into shape sometimes and it’s been normal procedure for him so to speak to start season slow because he’s rounding in to Peak Physical

Conditioning and you want him in the playoffs to be in as good a shape as possible right because he’s going to be playing a lot of minutes most likely he’s going to have a demand as far as the workload but then the intensity of the playoff schedule always gets

Ratcheted up and then he gets hit with these double teams that wears him down and then the schedule of the NBA Playoffs you don’t have a lot of days to rest up it’s basically one night off then you’re back in action and that can wear a player like Joel MB down who’s

Not always in Peak form who is a big guy who’s dealt with a lot of injuries which has kept him from really maximizing himself just being in the best shape possible so it’s very important that embi gets time to ramp up before the playoffs start and at the

Very least he needs to return to practice before the playoffs start if he doesn’t get that practice schedule in before the playoffs start what are we expecting from him if he does doesn’t practice practice at all doesn’t play in any games and then the playoffs come

Around let’s say you’re in a first round series with the New York Knicks can he give you more than 20 minutes per night it’s going to be a tall test and a tall ask for Joel embiid to give you anything more than that coming off a severe

Injury when he has that injury history to his knee now you take a look at the Eastern Conference standings and that’s why I threw out the New York Knicks not just because that’s the opponent tonight and then over the next Philadelphia taking on New York a couple of times

Here but if the season were to end right now it’d be a four five matchup between the Knicks as well as the 76ers and I think the Sixers in a decent spot here but as we’re about to talk about with producer chip the Sixers have to avoid a

Losing skid for the remainder of the year because if they do it is realistic that they could fall into the NBA playing tournament that’s just not where you want to be Sixers next next 10 match match ups here you have the Knicks tonight on Thursday coming out of the

Break you have the Cavaliers on the back to back then you have the bucks on the road against the Celtics home against the Hornets on the road against the Mavericks on the road against the Nets not a lot of travel there obviously and then Grizzlies pelicans and then you

Play the Knicks again on March 10th and hopefully at that point we get a firmer grasp of what’s going to happen with embiid but chip as I just teased it’s realistic that the Sixers could fall into the playin tournament and that’s just what you want to avoid here

If possible you fall in between that 3 five type of seating and it just puts you on the road to success in the NBA Playoffs yeah it’s a very real concern at this point in the season the Sixers had the ninth hardest schedule the rest

Of the season and you know you saw the standings you saw the teams right below him the Pacers made a big trade got past gyakum the heat are always a dangerous team traded for Rosier and the magic have the easiest schedule the rest of the year you know want to be in a

Scenario where you’re in the playin and you don’t have Joel embiid and all of a sudden you have one game you have to win and you don’t have him beat it’s a real concern they got to play better ball without him beat because they haven’t been good without him this season yeah

And the thing is too for an organization that has been affected by pressure and has come up short and has been prone to choke jobs you have to play that one game where you have to win and then the pressure is magnified you get off to a

Slow start at the Wells Fargo Center we know what could happen where the fans start to get on the Sixers and when we’ve seen that they’ve kind of clenched up a little bit yeah you need to have him be and you can’t be in the playing

You don’t want to be in that playing even if you’re the five seed you play against the Knicks hopefully it beats back by then got to play better ball though without him you’ve seen producer chip on some of our watch parties he’s the man who really puts these shows

Together I think he’s been a terrific addition here at Sports vouch for him for us to hire him back almost a year ago at this point and he’s been killing the game you can give him a follow on X at Jake chipper you’ve seen him on the

YouTube shorts the watch parties as I mentioned we’re going to start to incorporate him a little bit more here on the show hard work paying off for the kid so will Joel lambid play again in the regular season why for yes and for no let us know what you think down in

Sixers ch50 50% off right now as for DeAnthony Melton here’s an injury update on this front last play January 12th before suffering a back injury full participant in practice on Wednesday so it seems as though the All-Star break is really served him well he’s not going to

Play against the New York Knicks on Thursday but obviously good news here that he was a full go in practice on Wednesday because if he was hurt and ailing that just wouldn’t be the case before the injury in 33 games played we talked about this the other day the 10

Most important Sixers DeAnthony Melton why can’t he be this team’s Derek white he has the elements to his game and the he basketball IQ to be just that 33 games before going out with that back injury 11.8 points per game four rebounds 39% from the floor not great

But 36% from three you’ll certainly take that for a player who has a two-way impact and ability to really lock down on the defensive end of the floor I really like Melton’s game expiring contract he’s obviously going to want to prove himself but down the stretch this

Is a playoff type of pitbull that you want on this team especially after trading away Patrick Beverly as for Nicholas Batum Cafe injury caused him to miss the last miss the last nine games before the All-Star break he too full participant to practice on Wednesday and Nick nurse saying on Wednesday that

Batum pretty likely to play versatile player who can stretch the floor not afraid to kind of mix it up on that low block gives you physicality and finesse another one of these players like De Anthony Melton who can play really good defense and help you there but then

Catapult you on the offensive and we saw when him and beid were sharing the floor and batmus had some injury issues he’s had some personal issues obviously so in the few instances in which we’ve seen Batum and andb play together Batum is a really good front Court fit next to

Embiid six points per game 45% from downtown and a guy who has a lot of high leverage playoff experience so embiid positive Melton positive and then Nicholas patum some positive injury news there same cannot be said for Robert Covington injury update here Sidelines since December 30th with the knee injury

Did not practice on Wednesday and for roko a famous process sixer under Sam hcky it seems like it just continues to get worse and worse and worse and we continue to get some more negative updates here he’s going to miss about the next three weeks to continue his

Recovery coming off that knee injury hasn’t really done much for Philadelphia I think he’s well past his prime kind of a throwin and that James Harden trade and he’s been injured a lot over the last several years four and a half points per game three plus rebounds 44%

From the floor the value that he gives you is as a 3 and D player but when he’s only shooting shy of 34% from three-point range chip the value there just isn’t all that good and we talked about this yesterday like you think about the Sixers team

Right now you don’t think about them as having Robert Covington we talked about our top 10 Sixers we’ve talked about some of these Sixers lineups now that Kyle Lowry is back could cumington lose his rotation spot I think that’s a worthy conversation to have yeah and you

Brought this up when we heard about the injury yesterday and I thought it was very interesting like even when he’s been in the lineup he hasn’t been tremendous and this injury very weird it seems like this happens almost every year with the Sixers where a guy goes

Out there’s not much news about it and then he just is out longer and longer and longer now three weeks at least it could be even longer who knows with all these guys coming back now Tobias Harris and Kyle Larry we’ll talk about in a second you know we see Batum coming back

We see Melton coming back there’s just not going to be a lot of room for a player like Covington who again hasn’t been quite as good as you probably would have hoped to be in the rotation then you got younger guys like Ricky counil

You know you’re G to have to play one of campaign Kyle Lowry especially come playoff time I don’t know how much more we see Robert cing this year even once he gets healthy yeah a couple of names that you throw out there I want to see more from Rookie Council I think he’s

Proven himself in a short stint and you’re going to have to give minutes in decide between campaign as well as Kyle Lowry they seem to be better options than a Robert Covington because the issue with him he can defend but he’s always injured and if the three-point

Numbers are down and he’s defending yet chucking but not making shots kind of just hurts your offense a little bit yeah exactly you said it you know come playoff time could he be valuable with his defense yes but if you can’t hit shots at the end of the day you’re not

Gonna be able to play and especially coming off an injury who knows what shape he’s going to be in what kind of play he’s going to put on the court he just might not be able to find minutes again this season yeah a couple more

Updates to get to here before we hop on out of here Tobias Harris Kyle Lowry practicing in full go on Wednesday as well so that’s some more good news on the injury front Harris as we know going into the allstar break if you don’t know now you know shout out biggie Mr couple

Of games before the break good for him to kind of get completely healthy and use this time away as he wasn’t an Allstar to kind of heal up a little bit and an underrated storyline with this Kyle Lowry signing is just what he does for the culture on top of it being a

Cool story that he’s from Philadelphia went to Villanova legendary high school player in Philadelphia the leadership qualities that he brings I think are so underrated this is a guy who’s won a championship he’s been a part of the Miami Heat culture the Philadelphia 76ers ideally would love to replicate

That heat culture and The Vibes seem to be great you see Maxi low chopping it up here Maxi as we always know just rocking that smile from ear to ear Lowry going to play on Thursday against the Knicks and I want to see how many minutes he

Gets how he looks maybe recharged a little bit we see this a lot with veterans right Major League Baseball trade deadline Big Splash you see you you see a player who might be washed a little bit toward the tail end or across all sports right NBA NFL included you trade for a veteran

Player they feel rejuvenated to a certain degree knowing the opportunity at hand playing career might be dwindling opportunity to win a championship then you have the story line here with low trying to bring that heat culture to Philadelphia win a championship for his hometown Squad returning to Philadelphia Adelia I love

What he’s been able to bring to the table so far in an early going watch the interview that he had the other day just like what he had to say and hopefully he’s able to play good hoop for Philadelphia as well ball is back you

Want the 76ers to beat the Knicks if you didn’t do it already do it right now if you want to do it again beat New York down in the comments section

“There is an optimism in Philadelphia that Joel Embiid can return at some point during the regular season — at least close enough to the playoffs to get his rhythm heading into the playoffs.

Nick Nurse on Joel Embiid injury:
“Joel’s been really positive. He’s happy, he likes some of the new additions. He thinks the team’s getting better. He really wants to be out there. I hope [to get a couple weeks with Joel before the playoffs]. I don’t know what to expect. We’re a couple weeks in, probably a couple more to go before we get an eval of where we’re gonna be.
