Sixers' coach: No problem with Joel Embiid's tennis practice, Center City run

Sixers' center's Joel Embiid's every action and inaction is often a matter of discussion.

The talented center has played just 31 games in three years and is still working his way back of knee surgery.

So when a Tweet of Embiid playing tennis Monday night at 25th and Pine was posted to Twitter and video surfaced of Embiid taking a run through the Philadelphia streets, Sixers coach Brett Brown was asked if it was all part of the rehab.

"Evidently," joked Brown before Wednesday night's preseason opener against the Memphis Grizzlies at the Wells Fargo Center.
