Nerlens Noel

Nerlens Noel has not been shy about voicing his distaste for the Philadelphia 76ers’ fronctourt pileup. And yes, as the big man nears his return to the team’s rotation, that concerns head coach Brett Brown. Per CSN Philly’s Jessica Camerato: Brown is working to keep the team moving forward as a unit while still being [...]

Here’s hoping Nerlens Noel fancies Voodoo Doughnut. The Philadelphia 76ers big man has been available for basically forever. The team has a frontcourt logjam with him, Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor all needing time at center. If it wasn’t for left knee surgery that has prevented Noel from playing this season, he would probably already [...]

Nerlens Noel has yet to play this season, and he apparently won’t be upset if his last game as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers is already behind him. From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: Nothing has changed here. Noel has yet to appear in a game this season after electing to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery last [...]

Nerlens Noel appears on the verge of returning from left knee surgery he had in late October, which, well, doesn’t seem to have changed anything between him and the Philadelphia 76ers. Any way you slice it, Noel remains an awkward fit for a team that already has Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor at the center [...]

Nerlens Noel is set to make his regular-season debut for the Philadelphia 76ers later this week. Which means the Sixers’ epically clunky frontcourt logjam is inching closer and closer toward full strength. Woooooooooot. From Philly Mag’s Derek Bodner: Sixers center Nerlens Noel, who underwent surgery to repair an inflamed plica in his left knee on [...]

Even in injury, it doesn’t appear Nerlens Noel wants for trade suitors. With the Philadelphia 76ers’ frontcourt logjam alive as ever, we can expect Jahlil Okafor’s and Noel’s names to be bandied about the rumor mill until one or both of them is moved. Though the Sixers have already moved Jerami Grant, they’ve never once [...]

In addition to being without rookie Ben Simmons for the next few months, the Philadelphia 76ers also expect to begin the 2016-17 season without Nerlens Noel. Said head coach Brett Brown of Noel, who is dealing with a groin injury, per Tom Moore of Calkins Moore: [tweet https://twitter.com/tmoore76ers/status/787404219590512640] Welp. Fortunately for the Sixers, I guess, [...]

Excitement and hope is in the air this time of year as the NBA has returned and the 82 game marathon that is an NBA season is about to kick off yet again. Along with the start of the season comes another yearly event that can determine the future of many franchises and how committed [...]

Nerlens Noel thinks the Philadelphia 76ers’ center rotation is funny—in a very un-funny sort of way. Just prior to the team opening for training camp, Noel expressed high-key disgust for a frontcourt logjam that features himself, Jahlil Okafor and Joel Embiid at center, in addition to Richaun Holmes, Dario Saric and Ben Simmons at power [...]

Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor are both still members of the Philadelphia 76ers…for now. But that could change…eventually. The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped this tidbit at the end of his report that the Sixers had signed Elton Brand to a one-year deal: The Sixers have had periodic trade talks this summer involving Noel and Okafor [...]
