That's awesome. They're starting Lowry-Norm-OG-Siakam-Ibaka. That's actually the starting lineup I would like to see Nurse try out even with everyone healthy (or at least get a look at mid games). The frontcourt trio of OG-Siakam-Ibaka can make it very difficult for anyone to score when they're dialed in. You add to that the length and speed of Powell and his switch-ability into opposing forwards (plus Lowry who also doesn't mind being switched into bigs), and this is a scary defensive lineup.
Should have no problem scoring either with Siakam back, Powell slashing to the rim and bombing 3's, OG spotting up with all the attention back to Siakam and the deadly Lowry-Ibaka pick and roll. There might be some rust individually and collectively, but it should be a fun game
Mostly I'm excited when we are at full health to have Powell's scoring off the bench again. He won't be crucial when rotations shrink in the playoffs but for the 82 game grind that scoring punch is a big help especially if we want to buy minutes for Lowry/Pascal.

Glad we get pascal back. Enough time for him to start getting some All star votes when he has big games. He was barely behind embiid and he was not playing the whole time voting was on. Now with embiid injuried and him out he should be able to lock down a starting spotTo be the champs you got to beat the champs
