Embiid said he would have to continue to keep wearing the protective device on his hand when he returns. “Still getting used to it,” Embiid said of playing again post-surgery. “From time to time, you get slapped on the hand, so going through practice and going through those scenarios and seeing how it goes and also getting back into it. I had a little time off where I couldn’t do anything with the surgery, so probably a little bit winded, and have to get my conditioning back.”
