[Charania] 76ers star Joel Embiid is nearing comeback as soon as Tuesday’s home game vs. OKC Thunder, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The reigning NBA MVP has positively completed multiple five-on-five scrimmage sessions in recent days.

Woj and this tweet have made my Monday much less Monday like.
Christ has risen
Choosing to not believe that the last two months have happened. Can’t wait to see how all of our role players play with Joel back. Buddy Heild is about to be feasting
He actually rose from the dead on Easter, it just took until this morning for the word to circulate
I just hope they’re not rushing him back too quickly
In the midst of a dark “it’s so over” I found within me an indomitable “we’re so back”
What’s the over/under in minutes before his first knee tweak/wince in pain moment? I’m saying 4.5 minutes in to his first game back.
Joel is an absolute monster
I know a it’s been said a few times, but this could be what we have needed all along. Embiid coming back into playoffs after a long rest. Fully healthy. Not worn down at the end of the season which is just too much for his body. Which not hate to embiid for how much time he misses, the nba 82 games is just unfair to bigger, thicker bodies.

Better call my cardiologist, because I’m holding my breath every time Joel catches the ball at the FT line and drives with a head of steam to the basket.
Boner status: iconic North Philly graffiti
Must be weird to leave for a few months and come back to a brand new team.
Don’t love that this news dropped on April fools days
Bought tickets to this game thinking it was the one last week. I’m feeling good.
