After the Sixers selection of Joel Embiid in the 2014 NBA Draft, there were some questions posed about if the former Kansas standout received some sort of clearance, or if Philadelphia was just willing to overlook his medical red flags. We may never know for sure, but what we do know is that at least one team in the high lottery felt he was healthy enough to be worthy of their pick.
According to Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald, the Celtics medical staff gave general manager Danny Ainge a thumbs up on Embiid.
