Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is gearing up for his return to the court after recovering from left meniscus surgery. The big man may make his comeback as soon as Tuesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Embiid has been working hard on his conditioning to make sure he is ready to help the 76ers in their playoff push. Currently sitting in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with only seven games left in the regular season, Philadelphia could use a boost from their star player.
Before his injury, Embiid was leading the NBA in scoring with an impressive average of 35.3 points per game. He was even on track to join the legendary Wilt Chamberlain as the only player to average at least 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists in a season.
In order to qualify for the league scoring title, a player must participate in at least 70% of the team’s games. Embiid has played in 34 games this season, putting him in contention for the title currently held by Luka Doncic, who is averaging 34.0 points per game.
Embiid’s return is sure to have a significant impact on the 76ers’ chances in the postseason. Fans are eagerly awaiting his comeback and hoping he can help lead the team to success in the playoffs. Stay tuned to Forever Sports Online for the latest updates on Embiid’s return and how it could affect the league scoring title race.
