Overview

• Head coach Nick Nurse called the outing a good progression day, citing extensive five‑on‑five work and strong shooting and orchestration.
• Embiid logged his first public live action since February, months after April arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
• He hit mid‑range jumpers, knocked down an open three, finished a dunk, drew double‑teams, and found teammates for open looks.
• The Sixers tested lineups with rookie Adem Bona alongside Embiid, and Nurse said he is intrigued by the pairing to address the open power‑forward slot.
• No timeline has been set for game action, including the Oct. 22 opener, and Embiid left with his left knee heavily wrapped after drawing a loud ovation from fans.
