PHILADELPHIA -- As the Philadelphia 76ers continue with their schedule on Monday to host the banged up Denver Nuggets, they are still waiting for some players to return from injuries of their own.
Kelly Oubre Jr. has not played since Nov. 14 due to a left knee sprain while Trendon Watford hasn't played since Nov. 25 due to a left adductor strain. Those two guys are still working their way back to help the Sixers get the job done on the floor.

Both Oubre and Watford were getting some 3-on-3 work done, both half court and full court, after shootaround on Monday morning. Coach Nick Nurse gave an encouraging update on both players as there is hope they can return sooner rather than later.
"They’re both doing well," Nurse said before the matchup with the Nuggets. "I would expect any day now to get some clearance on them, hopefully. It’s not today, but any day after today."
The Sixers will take on the Washington Wizards on Wednesday before then heading on the road to take on the Orlando Magic on Friday to begin a 3-game trip. One has to believe Oubre and Watford will return in one of these next few games.
