Joel Embiid On Track To Return For 76ers Training Camp

Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid is on track to return for the 2025-26 training camp after progressing well from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in April. Team president Daryl Morey reported that Embiid is fully engaged in his rehabilitation and expects to be ready despite the early start to training camp due to preseason games in Abu Dhabi. Embiid was limited by a knee injury during the 2024-25 season, playing just 19 games before undergoing surgery, and has appeared in only 65 games since winning the NBA MVP award for the 2022-23 season. While fully recovered, the 31-year-old may be eased back into game action gradually. Embiid’s consistent rehab progress and meeting with his surgeon have been described as "nominal," signaling positive recovery. He also secured a gold medal with Team USA at the 2024 Olympics, highlighting his continued elite performance despite recent injury setbacks.
