Fantasy Impact:

After undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in April, Embiid is showing positive signs of progress, with coach Nurse commenting that "he was moving good and playing hard and had great spirit out there today." With only 58 games played over the last two seasons, fantasy managers will need to continue monitoring his progress through training camp and the preseason. While his availability for the start of the regular season is still unknown, it's very encouraging that he was able to participate in the 76ers' first practice.
