Dominick Barlow Returns for Sixers Against Pistons After Elbow Laceration

Dominick Barlow is "ready to go" and will be available to return for the Philadelphia 76ers in Friday's game against the Pistons. Barlow has been sidelined since October 25 due to a right elbow laceration, which head coach Nick Nurse previously described as problematic due to its location on the bend of the elbow. The 22-year-old started the Sixers' first two games at power forward and had an excellent opening night performance against the Celtics, recording 13 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. His return comes as the Sixers continue to manage other injuries, with Joel Embiid (right knee soreness) and Paul George (left knee injury recovery) both listed as out for the Detroit matchup. George practiced Thursday and is in the final stage of strengthening his left quadricep, with re-evaluation expected later this week.
