In a small flurry of good news-bad news, the Philadelphia 76ers go into Motown with yet another change to the roster makeup as they face off against the Detroit Pistons. Good news is that Nerlens Noel will be making his season debut off the bench. Bad news is that Joel Embiid will be sitting out due to logjam a combination of “load management” and “elbow inflammation”.
Only coming off just their fifth win, and already through a quarter of the season, it’s been a tough battle for the Sixers to overcome their short-comings from talent disparity to inexperience.
