Nerlens Noel Hasn’t Been The Same Since He Came Back
Nerlens Noel is one of the clear necessary parts to this Philadelphia 76ers team. When he’s not playing, it doesn’t feel complete. Of course, completeness is not something the team has felt all year, seeming to fall apart before games officially finish.
Noel missed two games with injury in November. His wrists were reportedly sore, and although it was claimed that this occurred in a basketball game, it’s been heavily speculated that he hurt it when he was ejected from a game for a flagrant II foul, punching a wall on a way out. I’m not trying to crack open that can of worms again after all the drama that came with it (on top of drama surrounding Jahlil Okafor recently, too).
