Joel Embiid has yet to be cleared by the Philadelphia 76ers for five-on-five drills. The 76ers will take a cautious approach as he returns from his meniscus surgery.
"If you walk in the gym, it looks like he could play 5-on-5 basketball," Bryan Colangelo said. "But we're going to take our cues from the people who know best."
According to Colangelo, those people favor a "hyper-conservative progression" for Embiid.
Colangelo also said he was optimistic the 76ers and Embiid could agree to a contract extension before the deadline.
