Sixers’ Embiid feels ‘100 percent,’ ready to play
Even if their roster isn’t looking tremendous, fans have to be looking forward to watch top pick, Ben Simmons step onto the floor and try to live up to the ridiculously high expectations that fans have built up for him personally, despite an underwhelming roster.
“Joel Embiid is an unbelievable player”, said Free, who averaged 30.2 points per game and earned an all-star berth in the 1979-80 season for the San Diego Clippers. “We have been working on a lot this summer, and I got a chance to play a little bit against the guys, and it has been going great”. However, things may be looking up for Philly, as former number three overall pick, Joel Embiid may finally be healthy and ready to make his National Basketball Association debut, after several injury setbacks to his back and foot.
Here’s why that quote should make Sixers fans feel good: Embiid and the team are being smart about what this upcoming season is about. The first was to fix a stress fracture in his right navicular bone.
“I have never seen crowds like this here”, he said. “He just is so on track, he’s on track in his head, he’s on track physically”. The 76ers get their training camp started next month, with their first preseason game being scheduled for October 4 against the Boston Celtics. Embiid also anticipates having restrictions, but has not discussed the specifics with the Sixers.
After two years of not being able to ball out, the former Jayhawk will be ready to play this season.
The fact that he has missed the last two seasons, people will be skeptical until he can show that he is healthy.
The Sixers Beach Bash will take place rain or shine. Getting him back on the court will be a boon for the team both on and off the court.
