The last time 76ers rookie Nerlens Noel spoke with the local media was on Media Day in September, the day before training camp began. He won't talk, according to the Sixers' public relations department, until he starts practicing 5-on-5 with the team. But Noel did an interview on SiriusXM radio yesterday.
"We're just taking our time with it, being cautious with things," he said on NBA Radio. "I'm definitely worried about my health, but regards to the whole season, that decision hasn't been made up."
He was then asked whether he might be able to play this season. His response was a simple: "There's a possibility."
