Michael Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel are now both sidelined with injuries for the Sixers

(Howard Smith-USA TODAY Sports)

For the second game in a row, Michael Carter-Williams will be sidelined for the Sixers.

According to Sixers sideline reporter Molly Sullivan, Carter-Williams is out for the Sixers Friday night matchup vs. Atlanta.

Carter-Williams missed the Sixers last game, an overtime win over the Houston Rockets, due to a bruise on his left foot. The rookie was seen wearing a boot prior to the game vs. the Rockets, and was seen wearing a boot as well by multiple reporters in Atlanta.

The good news for the Sixers is that the injury is not being described as serious, and Carter-Williams not playing is a precautionary move. It would not be surprising to see Carter-Williams out the rest of this road trip for the Sixers.

Holding out Carter-Williams makes sense, as there is no reason to even think of putting the rookie back on the court until he is 100%.

Throw in the fact that Tony Wroten had a triple-double in his first NBA start, and Carter-Williams should take his sweet time coming back.
