Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse has given a positive assessment of Joel Embiid's health following their intense Game 7 win over the Boston Celtics.
Embiid played a crucial role in the match despite dealing with the aftereffects of recent surgery and visible signs of fatigue.
Nurse said that Embiid has been doing everything he can to stay in the game and has been working hard to recover, with the team's medical staff closely tracking his progress.
The Sixers hope that with a slightly expanded schedule between series, Embiid will have more time to rest and prepare for the next round of playoffs.
