The Philadelphia 76ers continue their march toward the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference on Monday when they face the Golden State Warriors at home and there is good news and some bad news towards that.
The good news is that George Hill will finally make his Sixers debut on Monday after being acquired in a deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 25th. This will be Hill’s first game since Jan. 24 before he underwent a procedure. wrist.
“I love him with our team,” coach Doc Rivers said. “I am still not excited. I just think it will take you a while. Now we won’t play it many minutes in a row. We will try to relax you in a week or so, if nothing happens, obviously I think we will be delighted. We can see what we can do. “
The bad news is that the team will miss Ben Simmons, who will miss the game with a non-COVID disease. Now the Sixers will have to fight an explosive Warriors team without the help of their best perimeter defender, but that does open the door for Hill during his debut.
George Hill will play tonight. Ben Simmons is out, as is Tobias Harris. #Sixers
