Joel Embiid's ongoing knee issues have the NBA world concerned about his immediate future in the league and with the 76ers.

Joel Embiid said before last season that he doesn't expect to play in any more back-to-back games for the Philadelphia 76ers going forward.

With NBA training camps about six weeks away, the 76ers still cannot say for sure if Joel Embiid will be ready to go. Coach Nick Nurse touched on the status of the former MVP big man during an interview with Brian T.

Given Embiid's extensive history of lower-body injuries, sitting out on one half of back-to-backs is reasonable. Even if it means he'll likely never be eligible for regular-season awards, if there's any chance of preserving his health, this is likely the best route. At 31 years old, it's even more essential to preserve Embiid's health.

With training camp about six weeks away, the Sixers aren’t certain if Joel Embiid will be ready to participate. Head coach Nick Nurse discussed the health status of his star center and the team’s misfortunes from last season in an interview with Brian T. Smith of TalkSport.
