Philadelphia posted team video of Joel Embiid practicing without a knee brace, a positive sign following April arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. The club hopes to have Embiid ready for the start of the season with managed minutes, after he appeared in just 19 games last year. On the Club 520 podcast, former All-Star Jeff Teague labeled Paul George "cooked" and predicted a play-in ceiling for the 76ers, citing durability concerns. George is entering the second season of his four-year, $211.6 million deal with Philadelphia after averaging 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists in his first year. Daryl Morey reshaped the roster with youth and depth, headlined by No. 3 pick V.J. Edgecombe and trade acquisition Quentin Grimes, as the team seeks a rebound from its injury-plagued campaign.
