Joel Embiid's Preseason Debut Expectations
The Philadelphia 76ers are preparing for Joel Embiid's preseason debut against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Coach Nick Nurse stated that the main objective is to get Embiid through the game healthy, saying:
See how he reacts in-game, see how he reacts out of game. But just getting him out there is the main thing and then just see what he looks like.
The team has a limited number of minutes planned for Embiid's return, with Nurse noting it will be "fairly short".
