[Saba Sports News] Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse provided an optimistic update on Wednesday regarding Joel Embiid’s injury progress. Nurse mentioned that while the team hasn’t set a definite timeline for Embiid’s return following knee surgery, there’s a “very good likelihood” that he will be back on the court before the playoffs begin.
With the play-in tournament starting on April 16 and the full playoffs on April 20, it appears that Embiid could potentially return in a couple of weeks. This timeline slightly deviates from earlier estimates in late March but remains within reach.
Embiid has expressed his desire to return before the playoffs commence. The Sixers are keen on getting him back into game shape, especially considering his absence since January 30. While time is ticking, the team remains optimistic about his comeback.
