Joel Embiid Participates in Sixers' First Camp Practice as Paul George Remains Limited

Philadelphia opens training camp with unresolved timelines after last season’s injury-plagued 24-58 finish.

Overview

  • Coach Nick Nurse said Embiid took part in live drills and did "quite a bit" of work on Day 1, though he did not do everything.
  • Paul George confirmed he will not be a full participant at the start of camp, staying in non-contact work as he rehabs July arthroscopic knee surgery.
  • There is still no firm timetable for Embiid’s availability, with the team describing his recovery as day to day.
  • Trendon Watford was limited to individual work and is listed day to day with right hamstring tightness.
  • George expressed confidence in returning to a high level despite a down, injury-hit 2024-25, a stance that drew skepticism from some fans.
