CAMDEN, N.J. — Joel Embiid was in his practice sweats, holding a basketball while on the floor at the Sixers’ practice facility in Camden, New Jersey, Thursday. It looked like he was ready to go.
Alas, the reigning MVP still has a long way to go in his rehab after undergoing a procedure on Feb. 6 to repair an injured meniscus in his left knee. Embiid hasn’t played since Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga landed on the knee as both players were going for a loose ball in the Sixers’ loss to the Warriors back on Jan.
