Sixers are so infexible. If Simmons can dunk over an Australian he can dunk over a pro.

Tom any word on where Embiid is? Any update on his injury? Even though he wasn't cleared for 5 on 5 he was practicing all summer. It's been radio silence for nearly 2 months... I recall you saying they the Dr. said that things were moving in the right direction. Has anything changed? Should we be worried.. It's odd seeing Fultz like a sixers practice tweet and not see Embiid there...

Not sure exactly what's going on. He was at Made in America over the weekend.

Thanks, is this something you can inquire about? Maybe ask the sixers or sources if he's on the same timeline, if he'll be ready for training camp, or if he will start participating in media available practices?

Kind of irrelevant, but I really hope Brown keeps that look for the regular season.

Still there midway through preseason. You never know.

Tom, you would think that tennis is bad for your legs, what with starting and stopping and change of directions. but i can't find a sports scientist that backs that up. seems like among the pros all the serious injuries are shoulder, wrist, back and whatever else is used to whack the ball as hard as possible with extreme top spin. among ordinary folks, injury is rare, and even the elderly are out there playing doubles regularly. YMMV.

Would seem like all of that stopping and starting isn't ideal for feet, ankles and knees. And there's always tennis elbow ...
