Philadelphia 76ers rookie big man Joel Embiid has suffered a minor setback with his injured right foot, according to Tom Moore of Calkins Media.
Embiid was seen wearing a walking boot on the foot Sunday and, according to Moore, he did not work out Monday. The No. 3 pick in last June's draft has yet to play a minute in the NBA after undergoing foot surgery six days before the draft.
While the initial prognosis was four-to-six months out of action, it's clear now that Embiid probably won't play this season - the same approach the 76ers took with Nerlens Noel last season.
Embiid has yet to be cleared for full practice, but has been working out and shooting around with the team, including throwing down pretty dunks during warmups.
