The Sixers are expected to return Nicolas Batum, Kelly Oubre and Kyle Lowry

“Right now, my head is focused on the Olympics,” said Batum, talking about his long-standing role in the French national team. Embiid wants Batum back, interrupting that postgame 6 question by saying “it’s back to six.” Nurse, has long appreciated the various defenses of Batum. He also has low-level skills, such as post-up and inside passes, to go along with his nearly 40% three-point shooting. He averaged 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game this season, while switching between the starting and end roles. – via The Philadelphia Inquirer / May 10, 2024
