Philadelphia 76ers coach expressed optimism about the return of reigning MVP Joel Embiid before the end of the regular season. Embiid has been sidelined since January 30 due to a knee injury sustained during a game against the Golden State Warriors. The team has struggled in his absence, going 10-16 and falling into the play-in tournament mix in the Eastern Conference standings.
Coach Nurse mentioned that there is a good likelihood of Embiid returning before the playoffs, but emphasized that there is no specific timetable for his comeback. Despite the lack of a set return date, Embiid has been actively engaged in on-court work to aid his recovery.
