Nick Nurse is hopeful VJ Edgecombe can return sooner rather than later from a calf injury that has sidelined him for the past three games.

To Nurse's point, it isn't just the Embiid and George factors. The Sixers are also dealing with injuries to Kelly Oubre Jr., VJ Edgecombe, and Trendon Watford. They just got Adem Bona back from a right ankle sprain against Brooklyn, but then lost Andre Drummond to a right knee sprain, so that leaves the rotation thin on a nightly basis.

Joel Embiid (right knee injury management) will miss his 10th consecutive game when the Sixers host the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday evening, according to the team's initial injury report for the game unveiled on Saturday. VJ Edgecombe (left calf injury management) and Andre Drummond (right knee contusion) are listed as questionable:

VJ Edgecombe returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games with a calf injury, coach Nick Nurse said.

Speaking in front of the media on Thursday, Nick Nurse set the record straight on what went wrong with Edgecombe’s production.

Andre Drummond left the Sixers' win in Brooklyn on Friday night due to a right knee sprain. The team will hope the veteran's resurgent season is not halted for too long.

The Sixers played Tuesday without Joel Embiid, Paul George, VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Adem Bona in a blowout loss to the Orlando Magic.

After the game, head coach Nick Nurse explained that Maxey originally suffered the injury in the first half and was evaluated at halftime, but still managed to suit up and finish the contest. He added that there were no further updates (h/t Austin Krell of On Pattinson).
