PHILADELPHIA -- 76ers team president Daryl Morey expressed optimism on Friday that reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid would return from a knee injury in time for a possible postseason run.

"We're hopeful," Morey said before the 76ers hosted the Atlanta Hawks and three days after Embiid underwent surgery on his left knee. "Feedback has been more good than bad since we first heard about what led to his procedure. So, we're hopeful and we're building the team to make it better this year.
