Sixers forward Nic Batum is still away from the team for personal reasons. Coach Nick Nurse is unaware of when he’ll return. The Sixers acquired Batum in a package from the Los Angeles Clippers in Wednesday’s blockbuster trade for James Harden. – 12:25 PM

From Nick Nurse:
-Don’t know yet whether new players will be in rotation mix tomorrow. Will discuss later with staff.
-Nicolas Batum remains away for personal reasons. Unsure of a return timeline.
-Marcus Morris Sr. in in more of a “ramp-up phase,” but he’s looked good. – 12:22 PM

Nic Batum is still away from the Sixers for personal reasons, and Nick Nurse is unsure when he will return. There’s a chance Robert Covington and/or KJ a Martin could get meaningful minutes tomorrow vs. Phoenix, while Marcus Morris is still in “ramp-up” mode. – 12:21 PM

Lawrence Frank mentioned all of James Harden, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, PJ Tucker, and Kobe Brown as players that will have to account for the loss of Morris/Batum/Covington at that particular position.
Restates what he said in September: Roster never quite set until it is. – 8:26 PM

More on this storyline
Justin Grasso: The Sixers have Nicolas Batum listed as OUT for tomorrow’s game vs. Raptors due to “personal reasons” Marcus Morris, Robert Covington, an KJ Martin are not on the injury report at this time. -via Twitter @JGrasso_ / November 1, 2023
Keith Pompey: #Sixers president of basketball operation Daryl Morey on the players acquired in the Clippers trade: “I first wanted to thank James, PJ and Filip. Obviously great competitors for us. “But today’s about the new guys. We’re very excited for who we’re bringing in. Obviously folks know Robert Covington. Quite a fun reunion for myself as well. I think he’s part of Sixers lore. I was amazed he’s second in made three-pointers. I just talked to him and he was like, ‘I’m breaking that record,’ so let’s have that. “Nic Batum is someone I’ve gone against in the playoffs, and he’s gotten the better of me some and we’ve gotten the better of him some. He’s going to add a lot to the team… “KJ: Young, up-and-coming player. Love what he can provide, especially with the way Coach Nurse has us playing in transition. ” And Marcus Morris is obviously another reunion of sorts. He seems like one of the guys most famously from Philadelphia in the league, because he’s so proud of his roots…. -via Twitter @PompeyOnSixers / November 1, 2023
