Joel Embiid is back from Qatar, and, according to the 76ers, the center's second trip there was a success.
Embiid spent the last two weeks at Aspetar, an orthopedic and sports medicine hospital in Doha, Qatar. This was his second time at the world-renowned facility that serves as the official sports medicine partner of French soccer club Paris Saint-Germain. His first trip was in February around the NBA All-Star break.
This time, the Sixers sent a doctor, David Martin; head of strength and conditioning Todd Wright; player development assistant Chris Babcock; and player development staffer Curtis Sumpter to Qatar to work with Embiid.
