76ers’ Joel Embiid Returns to Practice for First Time Since Knee Surgery

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid returned to practice on Sunday for the first time since sustaining a knee injury in January.

Although the team hopes to have its star center back by the first or second week of April, coach Nick Nurse told reporters after practice that there is no timetable for Embiid’s return to action.

“Joel was here today, yep. He was on the court. He went through a little bit of the practice,” Nurse said, via Ky Carter of Sixers Wire. “All non-contact stuff. He’s lifting weights right now. No timeline for his return.”
