76ers Add Paul George, Expect Embiid for Camp

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is expected to be ready for training camp in September after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in April 2025. Team president Daryl Morey and medical updates report Embiid's rehabilitation is progressing as planned following a season limited to 19 games due to injury. The Sixers missed their usual playoff progress last season but have bolstered their roster by signing Paul George and retaining Tyrese Maxey, alongside rookie VJ Edgecombe. Embiid remains highly engaged in rehab, and his return is considered critical for the team's championship aspirations. Team officials anticipate that Embiid will also be available for preseason games starting in early October. The organization is optimistic that a healthy Embiid, paired with new and returning talent, positions the Sixers for a strong run in the Eastern Conference.
