http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20768467/injured-philadelphia-76ers-center-joel-embiid-not-cleared-5-5-drillsCan we finally stop deeming the sixers a playoff team and stop putting an asterisk next to embiid saying he's good "if Healthy**" we can say the same about Yao Ming or greg oden or bynum. Some people can't physically play basketball. Embiid is one of those peoplechalk him up as another bust

Embiid participated in half court 5 on 5 today. I'm guessing we don't see him in either preseason game since they have two more preseason games after ours.

He is still unlikely to play in any preseason game (and is already ruled out for tonight).

He is still unlikely to play in any preseason game (and is already ruled out for tonight). I don't think most people are questioning whether he can play in some games this year. I think people want to seem him play in 60+ games, back to backs, 30 minutes + a game for a few seasons before they start looking at him as a normal player. If anything it is concerning he is not getting a little burn in the preseason games since he has not NBA action since last January. It kind of shows how terrified the philly management is of him hurting himself.
