Embiid hasn't played in each of the last two preseason openers. And Harden is still working up to game shape as the disgruntled guard remains focused on a trade out of Philly.
Their next preseason game is Wednesday — also against Boston — at Wells Fargo Center., De’Anthony Melton, and Furkan Korkmaz will miss the 76ers preseason opener against the Celtics Sunday evening at TD Garden.“They all did go today, and we used it as our real hard training day today,” Nurse said. “... I think we’ll let them get through this treatment here today. See how they feel tomorrow, and we’ll make a decision tomorrow.
In addition to that, Embiid also sat out the Sixers’ last two preseason openers. Embiid is the reigning league MVP, while Harden is a 10-time All-Star.Tyrese Maxey as the primary ball handler. The fourth-year guard is expected to assume that duty until Harden plays — and would remain in that role if Harden is dealt.
Harden is still seeking a trade, and his hometown Clippers are trying to put a package together to acquire him. The 2018 league MVP and three-time scoring champion led the NBA with 10.7 assists per game this season, which is the second time in his career that he’s won the assists crown.
