Injuries have been one of the biggest issues in Joel Embiid's career. Last season, the Philadelphia 76ers center struggled the most with his body as he was limited to just 19 games. His knee issues continued to be a problem, and they affected his availability.

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse is feeling optimistic about the health of Joel Embiid, but stopped short of confirming the superstar center will be ready for training camp.

The 76ers’ prized center, who has dealt with an obscene amount of health issues since he came into the league, is said to be uncertain to be ready for training camp beginning Oct. 1. “Whether he’s ready for training camp or not, I think there’s maybe a lot more decisions than that to make before we get there,” 76ers coach Nick Nurse told talkSPORT.
