Looks as though Michael Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel will finally be reunited on the court in Sixers uniforms.
The Sixers season is off to a shaky start, but help may be
on the way.
After missing the team’s first seven games, all of which
resulted in Sixer losses, the team’s reigning Rookie of the Year, Michael
Carter-Williams is set to make his season debut on Thursday, November 13 in
Dallas.
Carter-Williams had shoulder surgery in May, and has been
methodically recovering since. He returned to full practice last week. November
13 was targeted as a return date by the team several weeks back, and barring
any setbacks this week, Coach Brett Brown expects that Carter-Williams will
make the mark.
Joining him in return may be Nerlens Noel, who has missed
the team’s past two contests with a left ankle sprain. With no games on the
calendar between Sunday’s blowout loss to the Raptors and Thursday’s showdown
with the Mavericks in Dallas, Brown is optimistic that Noel will be fully
healed and ready to return. Prior to the injury, Noel was averaging 7.2 points,
5.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.8 blocks per game.
Despite both being drafted by Philadelphia in the 2013
Draft, Carter-Williams and Noel, former AAU teammates in Massachusetts, have
yet to suit up for the Sixers simultaneously.
Thursday could represent their debut as a duo in Philadelphia.
