Joel Embiid Drops Cryptic Update on Return: What’s Really Behind the Delay?

Nineteen games. The season before, 39.

That’s how many games Joel Embiid has played since his MVP season. While he remains a dominant force when on the court, he comes into this season off another arthroscopic left knee surgery in April, with no timetable for his return this season, he said at 76ers media day. While that is concerning, Embiid said that there was a plan in place.

“The goal is to play consistently,” Embiid said, via the Associated Press. He later added, “I think going forward, we’re just going to listen to the body. I’ll be honest and say it’s going to be unpredictable at times, and that’s OK. We’re going to work with that.”
There was also no timetable for Paul George’s return to the court. He had arthroscopic surgery on his knee in July after injuring it during a workout. That said, both George and Embiid are largely expected to be ready to go early in the season (if not opening night).
