Joel Embiid felt 'great' at first day of Sixers' camp
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) said he felt "great" during the first day of training camp.
Embiid decided to practice on Tuesday after he was originally expected to skip due to a flu virus he was battling Monday night. "I'm feeling great," Embiid said. "I'm a little disappointed that I missed the beginning, that I didn't get a chance to play. But I went up and back a couple of times and it felt great." He got in some legitimate work and appears to be heading in the right direction by all accounts. In what is now Year 3 for the former third overall pick, Embiid's upside makes him well worth a late-round selection in fantasy draft.
It was previously reported that Embiid may not play in back-to-backs for Philadelphia, which would guarantee 17 missed games.
