One thing we all know about Nick Nurse is that he likes to experiment.
Even before he took the Sixers job, he was a head coach known for his exotic schemes while leading the Toronto Raptors for five years. He’s also never shied away from experimenting with different lineups, seeing which players might play well off each other.
Ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Bulls, Nurse was asked about a pair of players that haven’t gotten the opportunity to play much together: Nicolas Batum and Kelly Oubre, Jr. While the intent of the reporter was not to get Nurse to reveal his starting lineup with De’Anthony Melton out, Nurse did just that.
