In order for Philadelphia to move forward, there has to be a fight up and down the roster. As the Sixers got back to work on Tuesday at practice, coach Nick Nurse was happy with what he saw from a practice he described as "edgy".

Sitting at 3-13 on the season after Sunday night's blowout home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, the Sixers continue to desperately search for answers as a season they entered with so much optimism has turned into a total catastrophe. Predictably, the tenor of Sixers discourse around these parts has taken a turn for the worse.

Nick Nurse said that Paul George was "fairly close" to returning to the 76ers' game against the Grizzlies after suffering a knee injury.
