Joel Embiid has been on the road to recovery. He’s been watching the Sixers tank for another year. He’s been an absolute legend on social media. But now Embiid is going into the real phase of his recovery. Everything is going smoothly and now. According to Dei Lynam of CSNPhilly, Joel Embiid Will report for NBA Summer League.
“You see him drenched in sweat and shirtless. They are all fantastic signs that his needle is clearly pointing in the right direction,” Brown said. “We are trying to set the stage for a great summer. He sees his reward being the summer league and trying to get ready for playing basketball again. He is headed in the right direction.”
“He is feeling better without a doubt,” Brown said. “He is ticking boxes with regards to increased time on the court and reduced weight.“
I cannot wait to see these two play together. If Embiid becomes a legitimate defensive anchor like a Dwight Howard or a Tyson Chandler. That will be amazing. Nerlens, for me is the Rookie of the Year. Not hating on Wiggins. But Nerlens Noel has impressed me immensely. And I think Joel Embiid will have the exact same impact when he comes into the NBA next season.
