76ers’ Embiid still not cleared for drills

Philadelphia 76ers centre Joel Embiid has not been cleared for 5-on-5 drills and the team will take a cautious approach in his return from his injured left knee. Embiid missed his first two NBA seasons, played only 31 games last season, and had surgery in March to repair a torn meniscus in his knee. He averaged 20.2 points and 7.8 rebounds last season. Team president Bryan Colangelo and coach Brett Brown said Wednesday the team will soon decide how to handle his playing time when camp opens next week.
