It’s been two full seasons since the Philadelphia 76ers drafted Joel Embiid second overall, but they’re yet to see what type of player he’ll be. Leg injuries have claimed what should’ve been his first two years in the league and the team is no doubt getting anxious. GM Bryan Colangelo is surely interested in seeing what type of asset he has.
Embiid has finally been cleared to scrimmage. The next step would be summer league. And if his body decides to hold up, we may actually finally be able to see him on the court rather than on Twitter.
The 7-foot Embiid has been impressive in his non-contact workouts in recent weeks at the 76ers’ facility, sources said, and the soundness of his problematic right foot should continue to allow him to begin preparations for next season.
