Where is Nerlens?
I was just talking with a friend about this. The past week during the Brandon Ingram workout and even today with the group in there this morning we've been seeing a handful of players attending these things, including Okafor. The other night when they went out to dinner with BI too, Embiid was there but I suppose you can chalk that up to #CoachEmbiid stuff. But Nerlens has seemingly been MIA? Is it possible hearing his name come up in some of these trade talks has gotten to him? Could he want out or am I making something out of nothing?

Unlike the other prospects Nerlens Noel isn't rehabbing from an injury. He probably is on a well-earned vacation after a mentally and physically tough season.

I have wondered this myself too. He never seems to be working out or around his teammates...

Re: Where is Nerlens?
I think you're making something out of nothing, but you do raise a good question.
Hell, we've seen more of Christian Wood than Nerlens so far.

He may just be doing his own thing right now as far as workouts go...Maybe he's an introvert, maybe he's on vacation in the Cayman Islands or somewhere amazing, it could be a number of different things. People are really beating this trade Noel or trade Okafor thing into the ground. At this point I wish the front office would just move one of them so we could end this misery. Dragging this painful crap out is just irritating. I swear some of you just smoke a joint and then get random thoughts in your head about Noel or Okafor and decide it's worthy of topic. We have 1,987,653 different topics about trading either Okafor or Noel, we have a million other topics about random things like the draft and trading Okafor or Noel gets thrown into those conversations as well. I think we have got it covered at this point.

There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Re: Where is Nerlens?
Hes probably doing his own thing somewhere or on vacation. Embiid is rehabbing and Okafor is also rehabbing/also prepping for the USA Select team camp next month. Really making too big of a deal about this. Last year he worked on his jumpshot in Rhode Island during the summer offseason.

Just because he isnt at PCOM every single day of the summer doesnt mean he doesnt want to play in Philly anymore or that the trade rumors have gotten to him. These guys have lives outside of the city of Philadelphia. Let them have them without assuming everything they do means something that relates to basketball or the Sixers.

According to his Instagram THIS is the correct answer! Lol
But the sad quote in the caption fits what other people said ... Ending in #NeverWorried

This seems a little more relevant after today's latest rumors.
