Philadelphia 76ers Gerald Henderson is the soul of the Philadelphia 76ers. He is the player who gets angry and focused when the team loses ground in the closing minutes. He is the one who makes it very difficult for his opponent when the game is on the line. Right now, he is the one who cannot play due to soreness in his hip. And so, the Philadelphia 76ers must turn to Nik Stauskas to carry the load for the team at shooting guard.
Practice update:
•Embiid (rest) will not play at Utah, scheduled to play at Denver
•Henderson (left hip) will not play at Utah, Denver— Philadelphia 76ers (@Sixers) December 28, 2016
The Philadelphia 76ers are as battered as any NBA team on the injury front right now, and have been for several years.
