That Embiid will return as, the nurse claims.

The combo guard’s persistent lumbar spine injury has ruined his second season with the Sixers. He claimed on Tuesday that it occasionally interfered with his daily activities and gave him “a pinch in my back.”

Melton made it to two late-season shows, but he did not watch the end.

Nurse remarked, “I’ve always been concerned about him.” It seems like a difficult situation.

Is he likely to make a comeback during the postseason?

Nurse replied, “No.” “I don’t believe so. Simply said, he hasn’t advanced far enough. He did play on the court a few times for us last week. He simply hasn’t advanced far enough in his ability to move painlessly and effectively.

When Embiid is performing at his typical level, the Sixers have a tendency to think they can defeat any team.
