Joel Embiid Battled Plantar Fasciitis Before Training Camp - RealGM Wiretap
Joel Embiid acknowledged that his conditioning isn't where it needs to be to start the NBA season. Embiid said that is because he was fighting plantar fasciitis over the summer. That left the Sixers star unable to do any basketball work for the two months leading up to the start of training camp.
"Coming into training camp I hadn't done anything in like two months, so it really slowed me down," Embiid said."Still trying to work my way back and hopefully everything goes back to normal." 76ers coach Doc Rivers said that his All-Star center is currently pain free, but that it clearly impacted Embiid's training and conditioning. When Embiid wrapped up his media availability, he said he's"fine", as far as any lingering foot pain.
