Solid effort in preseason victory
Embiid registered 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 19 minutes during Friday's 126-110 preseason win over Minnesota.
Analyse
Embiid was cleared to make his preseason debut Friday after finishing up rehab on his left knee. He didn't disappoint, as he managed to contribute across the board, falling just two assists shy of a double-double. Embiid nearly reached the 20-minute threshold in Philly's final matchup of the preseason, so while the team has yet to comment on whether he'll be limited to begin the regular season, it's a positive sign that he was able to go this long in his first taste of game action since Feb. 22.

Good to go Friday
Embiid (knee) will make his preseason debut Friday against the Timberwolves, according to NBA reporter Chris Haynes.
Analyse
Embiid scrimmaged Sunday and drew a lot of positive reviews from coaches and players. He has continued to ramp up his rehab at recent practices, though he did get a planned maintenance day Thursday. Given the circumstances, it's likely that Embiid is eased back into action with a modest workload, but he's going to start and maybe play into the second half.

Absent from practice
Embiid (knee) had a planned off day at Thursday's practice, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
Analyse
Embiid (knee) participated in "most" of Wednesday's practice, and then sat out Thursday by design. He was able to get in a full scrimmage Sunday, and he's been drawing rave reviews from the media in recent days on how he looks. For now, his status for Friday's preseason finale against Minnesota remains in the air, but a decision will be made Friday morning.

Gets in another practice
Embiid (knee) participated in "most" of Wednesday's practice, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
Analyse
This isn't a substantial update by any means, as Embiid has been participating in several practices lately. Embiid was a full participant during Sunday's team scrimmage in front of fans, and it sounds like his knee continues to respond well to the increased workloads. On Tuesday, coach Nick Nurse didn't rule Embiid out for Friday's preseason finale against Minnesota, but even if he suits up, it's unlikely he'd play a major role during an exhibition.

Could play Friday
76ers coach Nick Nurse said Tuesday that Embiid (knee) has a chance to play in Friday's final preseason game against the Timberwolves, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Analyse
Nurse said there are still some thresholds Embiid needs to get past in order to get on the floor, but he's trending in the right direction. Embiid was a full participant at Sunday's scrimmage, and by most accounts, he had a really strong showing. It's looking increasingly likely that Embiid will be ready by Opening Night.

Goes through scrimmage
Embiid (knee) was a full participant at Sunday's scrimmage, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.
Analyse
According to Krell, "Embiid played quite a bit and looked like his old self." He also noted that Embiid's body language was positive, and there's been several glowing reports about how he fared in the scrimmage. This was certainly a huge step in the right direction for Embiid's rehab. It remains to be seen if he'll participate in Friday's exhibition against the Timberwolves.
