In a welcome development for the Philadelphia 76ers, Nick Nurse's team is finally at full strength after an extended period of injury and absence. The Sixers' head coach acknowledged that he has his complete roster back, marking the first time in over two years that this has been achieved.
The return of key players like Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford brought a sense of balance to the team's rotation. Nurse revealed that while both players were initially listed as questionable, he never intended to limit their minutes significantly. The veteran swingman, who missed nearly two months due to injury, showcased his potential with an extended stint off the bench.
Oubre played alongside Paul George for the first time this season and formed a formidable duo that revitalized the team's offense. Nurse is open to the idea of using Oubre in the starting lineup, pending further evaluation against another player like Dominick Barlow. This newfound flexibility could prove beneficial as the Sixers navigate their schedule.
Dominant performances from Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey were on full display, with all three players combining for 54 points in the first half alone. Embiid's recent surge has been impressive, with the center knocking down two crucial threes in Wednesday's game. Nurse believes that there is still room for improvement in Embiid's development.
Other notable takeaways from the Sixers' victory include a breakout performance by Barlow and a more efficient bench unit. Drummond also chipped in with some timely three-point shooting, providing an added boost to the team's energy.
The 76ers' 131-110 win over the Washington Wizards marked a much-needed turning point for the team. As they depart for a three-game road trip, the Sixers will look to maintain their momentum and continue to showcase their newfound strength as a cohesive unit.

so finally Nick Nurse's team is back at full strength which is huge for Philly 76ers, I mean, it's been two years since they've had all their guys on the court together. The return of Kelly Oubre Jr and Trendon Watford brought a new level of balance to their rotation, and let me tell you, those two played some magic with Paul George in the first half 
.
. The 76ers' win over the Wizards was just what they needed, now they gotta keep that momentum going on this three-game road trip. Fingers crossed they can keep all their guys healthy and keep racking up those Ws 
! it's like they've got this new energy thing going on. kelly ouibre jr coming off the bench and playing with paul george is pure magic 
. i love how coach nurse isn't worried about limiting their minutes, he just wants to see them shine. and omg joel embiid's been on fire lately 
! it's like he's got a newfound confidence that's taking his game to the next level.
! and i'm not surprised to see tyrese maxey bringing the heat too 
️. what's crazy is how balanced this team is now. it's like they've got all these different pieces clicking together seamlessly 
. coach nurse just needs to keep on tweaking and finding that perfect mix... can't wait to see them take on the next team 
. That 3-pointer he sank against the Wizards was sweet tho!
. Kelly Oubre Jr.'s back and it's made a big difference 
The bench unit looks way more solid too 
. Let's see if they can keep this momentum going on their road trip 
and it's awesome to see them finally getting game time 
️
he just wanted to get them out there and play, and it paid off big time 
paul george & ouibre jr forming that duo is 
overall, this win marks a turning point for the team 
they gotta keep that momentum going on their next 3-game road trip 
. That Oubre-Paul George duo is straight fire 
. They've got this momentum going into their road trip, fingers crossed they can keep it up! 
and it sounds like we got some major fireworks coming from kelley ouibre jr and trendon watford those two are like peanut butter and jelly, no need for any extra icing 
. nate lowry was probably having a heart attack wondering if his minutes were going to be cut 
. serious though, this new lineup is looking fire, especially with embiid on a roll 
The real concern is whether these guys can keep it up without burning out or getting hurt again 
.
paul george + oubre = unstoppable duo 
now they gotta keep it up 3-game road trip, bring it on! 
. Can't wait to see what these guys do next 
!
.
Nurse seems to have got his strategy just right too, and now we get to see how this all comes together... fingers crossed for an amazing season ahead 
.
. With Nick Nurse's full roster back, it feels like they're getting back to being that dominant force we all know and love. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford returning was a huge boost, and let's be real, Paul George is still on another level 
finally! Nick Nurse's got his whole squad back and it feels like the 76ers are gonna be a real threat this season 
but let's not get ahead of ourselves... still gotta see how they mesh with Dominick Barlow, that kid's got skills but is he a starter material? 
their offense has been looking so much better with george and ouubre playing together, i think we might see ouibre in the starting lineup soon 
And that breakout performance by Barlow? Nice timing, dude! The bench unit was looking more efficient than ever
