On Wednesday, we got our most concrete update yet on Joel Embiid’s timeline to return.
Prior to the 108-107 robbery loss against the Los Angeles Clippers, head coach Nick Nurse told reporters that there was “a very good likelihood” that Embiid will be back before the end of the regular season on April 14. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski then reported that “it is not a question of if, but when” Embiid returns.
“The belief is, with nine regular-season games left after tonight against the Clippers, that Joel Embiid can be back for a handful of those,” Woj added.
