3 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (face, thumb) managed to suit up for the playoff matchup against the Heat on Thursday and finished with 20 points, 12 rebounds, and a block. However, it wasn't enough, as Miami would win to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. The 28-year-old, who missed the first two games of the series due to an orbital fracture and concussion, undoubtedly wasn't at his best because of the injuries, so he should receive a free pass. Nonetheless, Embiid was one of the most impactful fantasy options throughout the regular season, and surprisingly, he stayed relatively healthy. He should be 100% come training camp, or at least close to it, so he'll remain a top pick for managers in all formats heading into the 2022-23 campaign.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
