NBA: Philly loses Holmes – Embiid comeback postponed

Richaun Holmes from the Philadelphia 76ers will miss his team for at least three weeks.The center suffered a fracture in the left wrist in the game against the Boston Celtics and thus lost more time.Joel Embiid must also continue to wait.

This was announced by the Sixers on their homepage.For three weeks, Holmes will fail for sure, then Philly will re-examine the Big Man and weigh up further steps.

So the sixers are running out of bigs.Joel Embiid also coached five-on-five, but will not play against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night.

So Jahlil Okafor should get another chance.The 2015 No. 3 pick of 2015 has improved so far, scoring 12 points and 6 rebounds in the two preseason games.However, his defensive weaknesses resurfaced against Boston in particular.
