76ers team president Daryl Morey 'hopeful' that Embiid can return for a possible postseason run
Philadelphia 76ers team president Daryl Morey expressed optimism on Friday that reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid would return from a knee injury in time for a possible postseason run. “We're hopeful,” Morey said before the 76ers hosted the Atlanta Hawks and three days after Embiid underwent surgery on his left knee. Asked if his approach would have been different depending on Embiid's injury news, Morey was clear.
