“We had a really unfortunate season last year,” Nurse said.
”We just could not get away from the injury bug at all. Not only was Joel Embiid, our former MVP from just a couple of years ago -- I think he played (19) games. That was one thing.
”But it was almost four, five, six guys every night. We just never could get any continuity. We used an incredible 40 different players last year.
“So let’s put that in the rearview mirror a little bit. Listen, those guys get healthy. They’re great players, and we get some better health this year. We’ll be right back in the mix and that’s what we’re looking to do.”
