Breaking news about Joel Embiid: we tell you when he will finally debut with the Sixers
The Cameroonian continues with his recovery from the physical problems he has been dragging since the Games
Joel Embiid is close to making his debut in the NBA 2024/25 season with the Philadelphia 76ers. The Cameroonian, who won gold in the last Olympic Games in Paris with Team USA, is already training 5 on 5.
The man who could have played for France or Cameroon but sought the medal last summer playing for the country where he has developed as a player, is dealing with issues in his left knee and hopes to train this Friday for a possible debut this Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Sixers urgently need their star. Without him and without Paul George (the big signing of the summer), they have suffered 3 defeats in the first 4 games of the year and next week, they will face a challenging trip out West that will take them through Phoenix to play against the Suns on Monday and then a double confrontation in Los Angeles against the Clippers (Wednesday) and the Lakers (Friday).
NBA Fine
We will see when he ends up debuting. The NBA fined the Sixers $100,000 for not disclosing Embiid's status: they concluded that the player was injured, but the team's public statements did not reveal the exact physical problem he is experiencing in his knee.
We will see when he finally debuts, but believing in a healthy Embiid at this stage of his career seems like wishful thinking...
