Wednesday, Joel Embiid and Paul George participated in "the majority of practice", per Derek Bodner of Phly Sports. That development comes precisely a week before an opening night clash between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden.
George has advanced to joining in on 3-on-3 drills, per Bodner. Barring a setback, that's an encouraging sign that he will be in the Sixers' lineup Oct. 22.
As for Embiid, in the summer of 2024, he won a gold medal with the United States men's basketball team. However, due to a knee injury, he appeared in only 19 games in the 2024-25 campaign.
