Tyrese Maxey, Sixers discuss how healthy team has been in preseason

Camden, NJ - Health has been a major issue for the Philadelphia 76ers in recent seasons, with players like Joel Embiid and others dealing with various injuries. However, throughout the preseason, the team has been able to keep Embiid healthy and participating in practice and games, with coach Nick Nurse and his players fully confident in his performance.

This absence of serious injuries before opening night is a significant relief for the team. Tyrese Maxey, in particular, has noticed how healthy the team has been compared to previous seasons, mentioning that most players are in good health. This healthy state of the team has allowed Nurse and the coaching staff to focus on building chemistry and implementing their game plan, which they haven't been able to do as effectively in recent years.

Nurse emphasized how being healthy has made training camp more enjoyable and productive, enabling the team to work on various aspects of their game, including offensive sets, special team work, and end-of-game situations. As a result, a healthy Sixers team now has a higher chance of making a run at the title, despite it being early in the season.
