Joel Embiid shooting threes during shoot around. Embiid, the third overall pick in the 2014 draft, missed his first two seasons while recovering from a pair of foot surgeries.

The game got chippy at times.
Conley hit five out of his last six free throws to put Memphis on top at 104-99.
“I think so”, Stauskas said. If you are not able to get it, I’m sorry for that.
Embiid could joke around because there was nothing else to do. It seems weird to say, but the Heat are counting on a player with all the experience of 49 total National Basketball Association games for quality backup center minutes. In many ways, Whiteside was the only player to show up Monday night. As big men, we all want each other to do good. “But it’s just the way it is”.
Embiid recorded a double-double with 12 points and a career-high 11 rebounds.
A lot of it starts with Embiid, who is thriving despite being restricted on just how long he can play. McConnell often finds himself in foul trouble.
Though Brown has been encouraged by the improvement, he knows there are limitations.
Finally doesn’t even describe the magnitude of the Philadelphia 76ers win on Monday night. Maybe there’s undisclosed injury issues, but there’s obviously something wrong with his game right now, and it would be better to deal with it now rather than later down the road.
“There’s no veterans in my eyes in that group”, Brown said. He picked up his fifth foul with 3:24 remaining in the game and Erik Spoelstra chose to substitute him out for Udonis Haslem, and the 76ers went on a 5-0 run in the 57 seconds Whiteside was on the bench. Batum suggested the Hornets were still dwelling on coughing up a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter and losing to New Orleans last weekend. “We didn’t get into this game”. And James Johnson is not really an option to start games right now, as Spoelstra likes his energy off the bench. Philadelphia was well under the cap at $65.5 million past year and still paid over $6.5 million per win after going 10-72. “So tonight I think it helped me a little bit”. “But those guys, they care about me”.
Joel Embiid’s debut season with the Philadelphia 76ers has been a joy to watch.
“There he is on your bench 10 feet from me”, Brown said. “It’s very tempting. But you just can’t do it”. “But you can’t do it”. “We go in there and work hard every day and have great attitudes”.
“We didn’t have the readiness we need to play against a good team and they jumped on us”, Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. “That’s the discipline that we have to have”. The Grizzlies return after Thanksgiving with a game against the Miami Heat. But by January, Embiid could be unleashed for regular, active duty.

“It’s going to feel great”, he said.
