Joel Embiid participated in practice, including some 5-on-5 drills. The 76ers are carefully monitoring his progress. The team confirmed that he is being evaluated daily. However, Embiid still has requirements to meet before returning to game action.

Quentin Grimes and Paul George

  • Quentin Grimes: After a contractual negotiation, Grimes is back and participating in practice.
  • Paul George: He is currently doing individual work but is set to be integrated into team workouts very soon.

Trendon Watford’s Condition

Trendon Watford is dealing with tightness in his right hamstring. He underwent imaging, revealing no structural damage, which the team considers a positive outcome. However, Watford will not participate in the upcoming game against the Orlando Magic on Friday.
