Don't look now, but things are actually starting to fall into place for the Philadelphia Sixers. Joel Embiid is expected to play in the season-opener in Boston on Wednesday, and Paul George, who underwent knee surgery in July, is close to returning. Jared McCain will be re-evaluated in early November (soon!) after suffering a torn UCL in his thumb before the start of training camp.
It's been said a trillion times before, but if the Sixers can stay healthy (and that's a big if), they can make the deep playoff run fans have waited what feels like forever for.
