Can we finally stop deeming the sixers a playoff team and stop putting an asterisk next to embiid saying he's good "if Healthy**" we can say the same about Yao Ming or greg oden or bynum. Some people can't physically play basketball. Embiid is one of those people

chalk him up as another bust

A healthy Embiid would set them up well for the future, but that has always seemed very unlikely.  It's too bad - he seems to be a likeable dude, incredible talent.

The Sixerz would be foolish to offer Embiid an extension until he can prove he can get through most of this season.

Colangelo said there had been no setback and they were being ultra conservative.  He said they watched Embiid practice this morning and that he would participate in the first practice next week.  Just a question of how much. 

He also said they were hoping to work out an extension with Embiid before the October 16 deadline.  They wouldn't be doing that if they had serious concerns about Embiid's long term health.

Depends on how good of a deal they can work out.  Some of the money can be non-guaranteed based on playing time.

Embiid participated in half court 5 on 5 today.  I'm guessing we don't see him in either preseason game since they have two more preseason games after ours.

I'm pretty into sixers news but I can't really even say a half court 5 on 5 game is news.

He was fully cleared and was a full participant in practice yesterday.  He is still unlikely to play in any preseason game (and is already ruled out for tonight).

I think it is pretty likely he plays 10-12 minutes in the last preseason game in Kansas.

 I don't think most people are questioning whether he can play in some games this year. I think people want to seem him play in 60+ games, back to backs,  30 minutes + a game for a few seasons before they start looking at him as a normal player. If anything it is concerning he is not getting a little burn in the preseason games since he has not NBA action since last January. It kind of shows how terrified the philly management is of him hurting himself.

He was also cleared to take free throws from a chair.  But with a 20 free throw attempt limit.

Embiid didn't need much burn last season after missing more than 2 years.  Nine months is a walk in the park for him.  60+ games @30 min is important.  Back to backs not so much.  There aren't any in the playoffs.
