The Philadelphia 76ers entered last season with championship aspirations. The 76ers added Paul George in free agency to pair alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Unfortunately, injuries to all three stars knocked Philadelphia out of the playoff race early in the season. Embiid faced a long road back to the court, despite support given to him by Jameer Nelson and others.
As the former MVP recovered from his most recent knee injury, Nelson steered him towards seeing a therapist. According to ESPN's Dotun Akintoye, Embiid committed to going to therapy. While the big man is skeptical, his sessions have helped him adjust his approach to the injuries he has suffered.
