The return of Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is imminent and could come as soon as Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources told ESPN on Monday.
Embiid, who has been out since Jan. 30, has been delivering the final preparations for his return from left meniscus surgery, ramping up his conditioning in recent days to rejoin the Eastern Conference playoff chase.
The 76ers are 40-35 and eighth in the Eastern Conference with seven games remaining. The Sixers play the Thunder on Tuesday, the Miami Heat on Thursday and the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
