Tuesday morning, Keith Pompey of Philly.com reported former NBA center Zydrunas Ilgauskas was at training camp for the Philadelphia 76ers. He’s a mentor of incoming rookie center Joel Embiid.
Last November, Bob Cooney of Philly.com was first to report the relationship:
“This is the second meeting that they have had. They seem to be developing a pretty cool relationship. His story is real, and it really resonates with Joel on the pitfalls of it all and the mental side of it all and the discipline to take care of your body to get back on the court”
