Embiid returns after injury: move forward cautiously and look forward to reshaping his glory

In the past season, Embiid has been firmly bound by a left knee injury, and it is almost impossible to see him galloping on the field. However, for the first formal training at this year’s training camp, his figure shone brightly on the 76ers fans.

According to 76ers head coach Nick Nass, Embiid "participated in a lot of content" in training and even conducted a fierce five-on-five confrontation training with his teammates. After the training, his condition was delightful. Instead of rushing to the treatment table after being injured in the past, and not applying ice to the left knee, he completed a complete set of training. The blue training suit, which was close to his obviously thin figure, seemed to tell the efforts he had put in to recover. Moreover, he did not wear the once thick knee pads, which seemed to send a signal that his injury would improve.

"I feel pretty good," said Embiid, with confidence and firmness in his words. "I have made great progress in the past few months. My team and the medical team have made plans. We are moving forward every day, and I want to continue to be stronger and better. Everything is going according to plan at present. As for when to come back, there are no specific expectations. We need to make sure everything is ready and then make a decision." From these words, it is not difficult to see Embiid's emphasis on his physical recovery and his cautious attitude and his team.

During this training camp, Embiid will not participate in training every day. He will not participate in the entire process, whether at the 76ers' training base or when the team goes to Abu Dhabi to play the first preseason game with the New York Knicks, and may not even participate in any preseason. He may not be able to catch up with the start of the regular season, and may not play an important role in the early stage of the season even if he appears.

"I want to be as honest and transparent as possible," Embiid said frankly, "I think from now on, I will really listen to my body. I have forced myself to fight with injuries too many times in the past, and this time I don't want to do this anymore. So the situation is sometimes unpredictable, and we have to accept that. I know I have to come day by day and then go step by step." These heartfelt words show his profound reflection on injuries. In the past, forcibly playing with injuries not only affected his game state, but also may aggravate his injuries. Now he chooses to treat his body more cautiously, undoubtedly for a longer career consideration.

"Everyone knows that I want to play every game," Embiid sighed, "but compared to most players, I have always been unfortunate in this matter. The continuous injuries have caused me psychological suffering. But I am clear: no matter what happens, I cannot give up. I must stand up, persevere, and have the best expectations. I look forward to a different situation this year, and I am also excited to continue to improve. I feel good now." Although the injury has brought a lot of pain, Embiid has never given up. This tenacious spirit is moving.

Embid's return means a lot to the Sixers. His strength and dominance are the key to the team's success. Although his current comeback time and role on the court are full of uncertainty, his positive attitude and gradual recovery have brought hope to the team and fans. I believe that with the joint efforts of him and the team, Embiid will return to the arena in a better state and lead the Sixers to achieve great results in the new season.
