76ers' Nerlens Noel: Ruled out vs. Grizzlies

Noel (groin) won't play in Tuesday's exhibition game against the Grizzlies, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

This will mark the third straight absence for Noel, who continues to a fight a groin injury. Noel didn't practice Monday and didn't even travel with the team to Memphis, which isn't the most encouraging of signs. Still, the Sixers expect to have the big man back in time for the start of the regular season.
