76ers' Joel Embiid: Progressing with rehab

Embiid (foot) is expected to begin two-on-two scrimmaging later this week, Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reports.

Analysis:

Embiid went through a workout in front of assembled media Monday and was spotted shooting free throws, taking jumpers and even throwing down some dunks. He's progressed to the point where he's getting a bunch of on-court work, but he's yet to start scrimmaging. That's next on the schedule for Embiid, who the Sixers are still hoping will be available for the beginning of the 2016-17 season. Embiid remains without a concrete timetable for a return, however, so we should see his progress updated periodically throughout the summer.
