Nick Nurse has to balance Sixers both on the floor and in the rotationNick Nurse has a balancing act on his hands both on the floor and in the rotation for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Nicolas Batum - Won't play TuesdayBatum won't play Tuesday against the Pacers due to personal reasons.
ImpactBatum moved into the starting lineup Sunday with Kelly Oubre (ribs) sidelined, but the veteran forward will now miss the front end of Philadelphia's upcoming back-to-back set. It's unclear if Batum will return to the team in time for Wednesday's matchup against Boston, but Robert Covington, Marcus Morris and Danuel House are candidates for slightly increased bench role in Batum's absence.

Joel Embiid - Questionable TuesdayEmbiid is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers due to left hip soreness.
ImpactEmbiid hasn't yet missed a game this year and has posted double-doubles in seven consecutive games, but he's dealing with a hip issue after logging 37 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block in 33 minutes during Sunday's win over Indiana. If he's unavailable for Tuesday's rematch, Paul Reed, Mo Bamba and Robert Covington would be candidates for increased work in the frontcourt.

Why 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey could be the next NBA breakout star
Fresh off a 50-point effort in the 76ers' win over the Pacers on Sunday, Tyrese Maxey is poised to become a breakout star in the NBA.NOVEMBER 13, 2023
Nicolas Batum - Posts diverse line in big minutesBatum finished with nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 33 minutes Sunday in the 76ers' 137-126 win over the Pacers.
ImpactAfter coming off the bench in each of his first three appearances with the 76ers upon being acquired from the Clippers in late October, Batum entered the starting five in place of Kelly Oubre (ribs), who is expected to miss extended time. Head coach Nick Nurse pumped plenty of minutes into Batum, who responded by providing quality defensive numbers in addition to serving as a knockdown shooter on the perimeter. Batum's usage sat at a lowly 6.9 percent for the contest, and even if he continues to see heavy minutes as a starter, offensive touches may be few and far between while the likes of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris are all healthy and available. Batum could still represent a solid streaming option for defensive stats and three-pointers in deeper leagues if he continues to stick as a 30-plus-minute player.
