Outside of Ariel Hukporti, the Philadelphia 76ers don’t have any season-ending injuries on the roster. However, Dominick Barlow has yet to debut this season. The veteran power forward has been dealing with a back issue, which dates back to training…
Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse announced that forward Dominick Barlow is visiting a specialist on Tuesday for a re-evaluation of his ongoing back injury. Barlow has been sidelined throughout the preseason and the start of the regular season due to a lumbar spine bone stress response in his lower back. Nurse noted that Barlow has managed to participate in some on-court activity recently.
Barlow is looking to make his season debut after playing 71 games for the team last season, during which he averaged 7.7 points and 4.8 rebounds. Justin Grasso notes that with Philadelphia off to a strong 6-1 start, Barlow faces a challenging path to securing a regular spot in the rotation once fully cleared to play.
