Varnado (Achilles) continued to be held out of practice Friday, the Bucks County Courier Times reports. Varnado left Thursday's practice and the absence continued into Friday. Despite the time away, this measure still seems to be precautionary when considering that Varnado has a chance to make the Sixers' final roster this season. If he does ultimately stay in Philadelphia, the 26-year-old will provide relief off the bench to Henry Sims and Nerlens Noel.
