Philadelphia 76ers fans have become hopeful as of late with Joel Embiid looking like he is in great playing shape as can be gleaned from the social media team’s two batches of practice clips and images released not too long ago. All of a sudden, it seemed like he was primed to return much earlier this season, with an outside chance of sniffing hardwood action this preseason.
Embiid himself confirmed that he has, in fact, gotten in better shape over the summer. In fact, the 76ers not officially have him as weighing 270 pounds, meaning that he had shed at least 10 pounds from last season.
