Joel Embiid Practiced With the Flu

Joel Embiid is finally working his way back to being healthy and playing for the Philadelphia 76ers. After being drafted in 2014 and missing his first two seasons due to injury complications, Embiid is finally participating in his first ever NBA training camp close to full strength.

Close to full strength in his foot, that is. The rest of his body has been battling a flu (get your flu shots people, it’s that time of year) but he’s still showing up to Sixers events.

Embiid is not just showing up to events, he’s actually trying to participate.
