76ers coach gives Joel Embiid health update as offseason concerns linger
NY Post
It’s anyone’s guess how often Joel Embiid will play this season.
The 76ers’ prized center, who has dealt with an obscene amount of health issues since he came into the league, is said to be uncertain to be ready for training camp beginning Oct. 1.
“Whether he’s ready for training camp or not, I think there’s maybe a lot more decisions than that to make before we get there,” 76ers coach Nick Nurse told talkSPORT.
Still, Nurse looked to put a positive spin on Embiid’s outlook after some negative prior reporting on Embiid’s health.
“But our main thing is that he’s healthy to play and play to his nearest capabilities, because he’s awesome, no doubt about that.”
“All the news is positive,” Nurse said. “I know he’s working very, very hard and I think things look good.”

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
