The Philadelphia 76ers should finally have center Joel Embiid available after spending the last two years recovering from right foot (navicular bone) issues. Once the games begin, Embiid's minutes will be monitored.
"I think everybody also must understand that ... it's not like [Embiid] is going to come out and play 40 minutes and play 82 games," head coach Brett Brown told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "That would be naive and not true. We have to be responsible with some minute restrictions with him."
The Sixers selected Embiid with the No. 3 pick in the 2014 NBA draft.
