The news comes via GM Brian Colangelo, who spoke at the team’s media day Monday,
roughly 24 hours before the Sixers begin camp. Echoing the comments of coach
Brett Brown last week, Colangelo said that Embiid is expected to be on the court
Tuesday, but he’ll be limited to only certain drills and levels of activity.
When, exactly, Embiid might be fully cleared remains to be seen, but at this
point the 76ers believe the big man will be ready for the start of the regular
season. Even if that is the case, it’s possible Embiid could face a minutes
restriction, as was the case throughout last season. “I’ll be honest,” Embiid
said Monday. “I don’t think I’ll play 82 games.”
