76ers woeful without Joel Embiid, draw Nuggets

Article Summary:
The Philadelphia 76ers have dealt with plenty of adversity in the first month of the season, from the absence of Ben Simmons to players missing games due to health and safety protocols. For a vaccinated player it requires a 10-day quarantine, which would have meant Embiid is eligible to return for the game against the Nuggets.
The last two games have been played without three starters – Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. and Will Barton. Coach Michael Malone said Sunday that Porter, who hasn’t played since Nov. 6 against Houston, would be out “For the foreseeable future,” but Barton could return Thursday.
