Joel Embiid shows off moves in workout video
Joel Embiid hasn’t played in an NBA game since being drafted with the No. 3 pick in 2014, but the Philadelphia 76ers center is expected to be ready for the 2016-17 season and showed off a recent workout video on Twitter — complete with a chiseled physique to go along with his basketball moves.

The video appears to show parts of two different workouts in which the former Kansas center displays an array of moves he wasn’t able to perform while sitting out with a broken navicular bone each of the past two seasons. There aren’t many 7-foot, 250-pound centers who can execute a between-the-legs dunk, so if Embiid can translate even a portion of these skills to full 5-on-5 action, 76ers fans might be in for a treat.
