Joel Embiid Poised for Return Before Season's End, Sixers Optimistic

The Sixers' performance may see a significant boost with Embiid's anticipated return from a knee injury, alongside updates on Covington and Melton.

Sixers' star Joel Embiid has a 'very good' chance of returning from a knee injury before the regular season ends, according to head coach Nick Nurse.
Embiid, the reigning NBA MVP, has been out since Jan. 30 due to a meniscus injury but has begun on-court activities.
The 76ers have a record of 26-8 with Embiid this season, highlighting his significant impact on the team's performance.
Updates on other injured players, Robert Covington and De'Anthony Melton, indicate they might also return before the season concludes.
There is no specific timeline for Embiid's return, but the team is hopeful for a few games before the playoffs or play-in games.
