Paul George (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets.George practiced on Wednesday and is considered questionable for Friday's matchup with the Nets. If he can play, Dominick Barlow is the player most likely headed to the bench. And with Trendon Watford (adductor) out for at least two weeks, the 76ers could really use an infusion of depth at the forward positions.
According to Sixers reporter Noah Levick, Paul George (ankle) and VJ Edgecombe (calf) went through Wednesday's practice.It's an encouraging update for the Sixers who are also without Trendon Watford (adductor) and Kelly Oubre (knee) for at least the next two weeks. Joel Embiid (knee) has been out for the last eight games, so Philly is sorely shorthanded right now. If George and Edgecombe are forced to sit out Friday's matchup with the Nets, Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, Eric Gordon and Dominick Barlow will pick up the slack by committee.
Trendon Watford (adductor) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, according to Sixers reporter Noah Levick.Watford is the latest addition to Philadelphia's growing injury report. Until he's ready to return, Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker will pick up extra playing time.
Trendon Watford (adductor) will not return to Tuesday's game against the Magic.Watford suffered a strained left adductor while dribbling up the floor during the second quarter, collapsing to the court immediately after feeling the injury. He had to be helped to the locker room and has since been ruled out for the rest of the night. The 76ers will have to rely even more on Dominick Barlow in the front court, and Jabari Walker picked up a few minutes after Watford's injury.
Paul George (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.George was initially listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Magic, but he'll ultimately miss the contest with a sprained right ankle. Even if George was active, he'd have been on a minutes restriction. Trendon Watford had 19 points, nine rebounds and seven assists against the Heat on Sunday and could see more minutes off the bench with George out.
