76ers coach Nick Nurse wants Harden back, can co-exist with Embiid

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) Nick Nurse inherits a Philadelphia 76ers team in which Joel Embiid blossomed into an MVP, Tyrese Maxey developed into a rising star and James Harden flashed his old All-Star form in the playoffs.

Yet for all that talent, the Sixers are home watching the NBA Finals.

Nurse, officially named Philadelphia’s coach on Thursday weeks after he was fired by the Toronto Raptors, had loftier expectations for a franchise that instead suffered through a third straight second-round playoff exit.
