As Sixers camp nears, Joel Embiid still not ready for 5-on-5
The foremost question on everybodys minds when Sixers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo and coach Brett Brown met with reporters over lunch Wednesday afternoon was simple: When is Joel Embiid going to be able to play 5-on-5? The 23-year-old Embiid, who as a rookie in 2016-17 displayed uncommon skills and equally uncommon charisma, underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee in March, ending his season after 31 games. If you walk in the gym, it looks like he could play 5-on-5 basketball, Colangelo said.
