What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Joel Embiid says that he’s been doing a lot of drills but not actually playing thus far in training camp. Says the day-to-day is about “slowly building back up” from last season’s knee injury.

Embiid called Jared McCain the Sixers’ best player in camp so far. Highlighted his competitiveness and shooting as things that jumped out right away – 12:41 PM

Nick Nurse said that Joel Embiid, Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon participated in today’s practice in full — up until scrimmaging.
Wrote about how Lowry and Gordon will likely join Embiid as load management candidates this season a couple of weeks ago:

Nick Nurse says that Joel Embiid did all the live drills today “up to scrimmaging” as they look to ramp him up to the start of the season.
Nurse says that Embiid was not the only one who didn’t scrimmage (Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon did not scrimmage either). – 12:25 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Sixers are kicking off camp today as they prepare for the most anticipated season in years.
Here are five storylines I’ll be keying in, from Embiid’s claim to have lost 25-30 pounds, to Ricky Council’s shooting, questions about the rotation and more.

🗣 Embiid: “I think I lost about 25, 30 [pounds]. Still got a ways to go. Still want to lose more. But it’s a process … We gotta do whatever it takes to make sure that in the postseason, I’m healthy.” pic.x.com/VXHUlCUlUS – 10:05 AM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Joel Embiid passing the crown?
Kelly Oubre has facial hair goals?
Ricky Council IV wore what on a boat?
A budding Drummond/Bona mentorship?
How tall does Caleb Martin want you to think he is?

Joel Embiid remembers Dikembe Mutombo, who he calls a “role model”, telling ESPN: “It is a sad day for Africa — and really for the whole world — because he really did care about people and making people’s lives better.” pic.x.com/omt4S7DE7I – 5:09 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Joel Embiid, talking about his experience at the Olympics, joked: “Winning, I finally won something. I finally got to the Conference Finals and I won something. So, that was fun.” – 4:46 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
“With the team we built, & it’s not just about this year, I see this as a long-term thing. Obviously, I want to finish my career here & just extended. PG signed a 4-yr deal. Who knows if he still wants to play after. But, we got a good opportunity to be consistent.” – Joel Embiid – 4:31 PM
Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
New: Joel Embiid was quick to the point when discussing his goal for 2024-25. All he wants is to get to the playoffs healthy.
“There’s no agenda. There’s no All-Star, no All-NBA. There’s none of that.”
On Embiid’s mentality, contract extension and more:

Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
New: 457 days after news broke that Daryl Morey had a new vision for the Sixers’ future, he discussed results of a long-term plan.
“We’re focused on April, May, June,” said Morey, whose patience led to an Embiid-Maxey-George trio w/ limitless potential.
