Joel Embiid Shows Strong Form, Possible Return for Sixers' Preseason Finale

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid participated in a post-practice 1-on-1 session on Tuesday, showcasing his shot-making ability and playfully disputing calls. Teammate Kelly Oubre Jr. referred to Embiid as a 'cheat code' on the court, highlighting his dominance. Embiid, who also played in Sunday's Blue-White scrimmage and was a partial participant in Tuesday's practice, has reportedly looked 'very good' in recent weeks with no mention of left knee problems. Coach Nick Nurse stated there's 'some chance' Embiid could play in Friday's preseason finale against the Timberwolves, though a final decision is pending as there are 'thresholds to get over.' His last preseason appearance was in October 2023.
