Joel Embiid Set to Make Preseason Debut on Friday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been on a long and well-documented road to recovery as his knees continue to ail him as his career goes on. He last played on February 22 against the Brooklyn Nets and the team has played it safe with him ever since. He underwent another knee surgery and talked about having a better plan coming into this season. All of that has culminated in Embiid officially being able to play in the team's preseason finale on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's still unlikely to play back-to-backs, but it will be considered a win if he can play in at least half of their regular-season games. Last season, he appeared in 19 contests and averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 3.3 turnovers per game.
