KANSAS, Mo. – Joel Embiid is back at the place that gave him notoriety.
Following Wednesday’s game, the 76ers flew to Kansas City and boarded a bus to the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kan. The team is scheduled to practice Thursday at KU’s famed Allen Fieldhouse.
Embiid is the reason why the Sixers are making trip to the university. The same can be said about their entertaining the Miami Heat in Friday’s preseason finale at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. The 23-year-old played one season at Kansas in 2013-14 before the Sixers selected him third overall in the 2014 NBA draft.
