My my my, this workout video is very impressive. From the looks of it, Joel Embiid’s surgically repaired foot is healing well, and he is ready to challenge Ben Simmons for rookie of the year, if he actually plays this season.
Embiid hasn’t played since being drafted number 1 by the Sixers in 201, due to several foot surgeries over the past few years. Now, we are finally seeing the skills and explosiveness that made him a dominant center at Kansas, and what gave so many 76ers fans hope.
If he can perform at a level close to what is seen in this video, the 76ers may be a problem for the other teams in the NBA very soon.
