76ers' Joel Embiid training regularly during pandemic
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid said he's been training "about six times a week" for the past month.
“We’ve been going at it for the past four weeks, about six times a week, just trying to get a head start, and get ready for whatever’s coming," Embiid said. "I have something to prove, and I feel like whenever that opportunity comes, it’s going to be my time.” Embiid added that he underwhelmed in the first part of the season, but the big man was rolling after the All-Star break. In the last four contests Embiid played at least 25 minutes before the season was suspended, he averaged 33.8 points, 13.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.0 blocks, and 1.3 3-pointers.
Embiid was averaging the 14th-most FanDuel points per game (45.8) this season. His career-high 21.6 total rebound percentage ranked 8th and his 32.6 usage rate was also eighth-most in the league.
