Joel Embiid played basketball for the first time in 232 days.
The Philadelphia 76ers played their annual Blue/White Scrimmage at Chase Fieldhouse on Sunday afternoon. The exhibition offers two lineups – one typically composed of Philadelphia’s starters and the other with reserves. While it was an inconsequential scrimmage, seeing Embiid back in action and making impact plays offered fans a therapeutic preview of what’s to come.
Key Embiid moments
- Tyrese Maxey flowed into a dribble handoff with Embiid, which resulted in Maxey drawing two defenders heading towards the basket. This created space for Embiid to roll and Maxey wittingly detected the advantage.
