Nicolas Batum Misses Fourth Consecutive Game
12 months agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive game ahead of the team's visit to Orlando. Batum's numbers haven't been anything special this season, but he's been a starter for Philadelphia, and the team definitely misses his presence. Kelly Oubre Jr. has moved into the starting unit in Batum's absence. Following a couple of poor performances, he went off for 25 points on 6-for-9 three-point shooting on Christmas Day against Miami, and Oubre Jr. should play a big role again on offense Wednesday night, as Joel Embiid (ankle) also remains sidelined for Philadelphia.
