Embiid extinguished his injuries all season and slowly stood up late in the third when he lost the ball and hit the field. Embiid said earlier this week that he should “solve the problem” in the left knee to return to his dominant form All-Star.

“The way I played a year ago is not the way I am currently playing,” Embiid said on Thursday after 76ers lost to Boston. “I probably have to solve the problem, and then I’ll be back at that level. But it’s hard to trust when you’re not alone.”

Played in only 19 of the 56 games for Sixerswho fell to 20-36 and captured the faded shot of earnings at the NBA Play-in tournament tournament.

Coach Nick Nurse Sister said he had kicked Embiid in the fourth simply because he was on the field – which included a great man Guerschon Yabusale – He played well in the quarter.

“At that moment they had a good sense of play,” the nurse said. “I just wanted to let them roll with that.”

Embiid played only 39 games last season due to a torn meniscus in his left knee. 76ers at the beginning of February that season announced that he had undergoing surgery. Embiid returned in early April, was part of the 76ers playoffs, and then won a gold medal with the US Olympic team last summer.

Embid admitted earlier this month that he had not had enough time to fully recovery after undergoing surgery last year.

“He gives us what he can. It’s not alone, we all know that,” the nurse said. “He is certainly not the guy we are used to seeing how he plays on a super high level. I praise him what he gave us what he can.”
