As the Sixers now move forward, coach Nick Nurse gave the latest on both George and Embiid before the contest with the Clippers. "I think they’re both progressing OK," Nurse said. "Paul was on the court and doing some work. Just talked to Joel a few hours ago earlier today. He says he’s feeling a little better. Swelling’s getting better."

Tyrese Maxey candidly expressed how it felt to watch Paul George crouch under the basket, then head to the locker room during the 76ers’ loss to the Grizzlies. “It [stinks],” Maxey said from his locker after the game.
