76ers vs Raptors: A Special Reunion for Nick Nurse

For the second time this early season, the Philadelphia 76ers face the Toronto Raptors in a special reunion for Sixers coach Nick Nurse, who faces his former team.

The game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m., and the advantage seems to be on the side of the Sixers as the Raptors recently played a game on Wednesday. Toronto achieved a convincing victory by defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 130-111 at their home court before traveling to face the Sixers at Wells Fargo Center.

On the other hand, the Sixers come into the matchup with rest in their favor as their last game was on October 29th when they defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 126-98.

Joel Embiid Shining for the Sixers

One name that stands out on the Sixers' roster is Joel Embiid, who is among the league leaders in points per game and blocks. Embiid was instrumental in the Sixers' victory over the Raptors on October 28th, scoring 34 points in that game.

James Harden's Time with the Sixers Comes to an End

Off the court, it has been officially announced that James Harden's time with the Sixers has come to an end, leading the home team to consider new strategies to support Joel Embiid this season.

According to reports, Donovan Mitchell, who currently plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers and ranks second in the league in points per game, is being targeted by the Sixers. Mitchell is recognized for his ball-handling skills, ability to create plays, and shooting abilities, although his defense is pointed out as a potential concern, according to analysts.
