GALLOWAY, N.J. - The last time Joel Embiid played in a game was as a Kansas freshman on March 1, 2014, at Oklahoma State University.
That quickly became obvious Wednesday during the 76ers' end-of-practice scrimmage at Stockton University.
At times, Embiid had a tough time with his footwork, finding his balance and figuring out things in real-time speed on defense. And that wasn't all.
"Everything is kind of off right now as far as catching the ball and shooting," said Embiid, the third overall draft pick in 2014 who missed the previous two seasons after surgeries on his right foot.
