Nick Nurse delivers rare two-word Joel Embiid status that 76ers fans will love

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse announced that Joel Embiid was a full participant at the start of training camp on Tuesday. Nurse reported that the star center looked great throughout the session, marking a significant milestone after multiple injury-plagued offseasons.

Embiid has dealt with persistent knee issues over recent campaigns, playing in only 39 games in 2023-2024 and 19 games in 2024-2025. Although his knee condition showed improvement late last season, the team plans to carefully manage his workload moving forward.
