Joel Embiid said he feels highly confident about his health after a season in which he was limited to 38 games because of knee issues.
The Philadelphia 76ers star said he is as "confident as I've ever been" regarding his physical condition and added that he is no longer thinking about the injured knee that affected his availability this season.
Embiid's comments come after a campaign disrupted by injury, with his limited number of appearances underscoring how much his knee impacted his time on the court. When available, Embiid remained a central figure for Philadelphia, but his health was a defining storyline of the season.
Health remains key focus
For Embiid and the 76ers, his availability continues to be one of the team's most important factors. His latest remarks indicate that, from his perspective, the knee is no longer occupying his mind as he moves forward.
