"We don't have a timeline," Embiid said. "Hopefully, sooner rather than later."

Joel Embiid hopes his legacy in the NBA won't be defined by the injuries that have limited him to 452 games in 11 years since he was drafted with the No. 3 overall pick by the Philadelphia 76ers.

But as Embiid explained in a new profile from ESPN's Dotun Akintoye, those who lean into the "narrative" about him being a playoff dropper are missing context.

Johni Broome leads Philadelphia with 22 points and 14 rebounds while Mark Armstrong impresses with 22 points off the bench.

Former Michigan and Michigan State basketball stars Danny Wolf and Jase Richardson will likely face off tonight in an NBA 2K26 Summer League matchup as the Brooklyn Nets take on the Orlando Magic.

Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET on ESPN.
