As the Philadelphia 76ers continue to work things out on the basketball court, they may be beginning to get a little healthier. After having Joel Embiid return to the floor on Sunday in a win over the Toronto Raptors, there’s a chance that starting shooting guard could return to the lineup.
Josh Richardson has missed five straight games due to right hamstring tightness and there’s a new listing for him on the injury report. After being listed probable or out, Richardson has now been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday’s matchup with the Denver Nuggets. After giving an update on his injury before their matchup with the Washington Wizards, this new listing means he’s getting closer to a return to the floor.
Josh Richardson is questionable for tomorrow against the Nuggets. He’s missed the last 6 games with right hamstring tightness. #Sixers

The Sixers vaunted starting lineup has only played a grand total of nine games through their first 24 of the season, yet the team is off to a solid 17-7 start. It would be nice to get some more games together and continue to grow as a group.
Tipoff with the Nuggets is set for 8:00 p.m. EST from the Wells Fargo Center. [lawrence-related id=20951,20941,20933]
