76ers' Nerlens Noel: Limited at D-League practice

Noel (knee) went through a limited practice Wednesday with the D-League's Delaware 87ers, Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reports.

Analysis:

The expectation is that Noel will return to the 76ers on Thursday before rejoining the 87ers on Friday to continue his recovery effort. The 76ers haven't issued an estimated return date for Noel, but he'll likely be brought along slowly as he works his way toward participating in full-speed five-on-five work.
