Nick Nurse and the 76ers address injury concerns surrounding Joel Embiid.
. There was a growing assumption that Joel Embiid would make his first on-court appearance since the Paris Olympics against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks.
As the Sixers opened up their 2024-2025 campaign with a three-game slate, Embiid has been ruled out for every game. The earliest he could return to the court would be Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons.

The Sixers mapped out a strict plan to keep Embiid’s playing time in check this year. While the veteran center is no stranger to the load management game, he hasn’t quite followed a blueprint like this in the past. It took missing 43 regular season games and battling through the playoffs after getting mid-season surgery for Embiid to realize he needed to take a different approach in 2024-2025.
