PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers are in the process of trying to get everybody back on the floor and back up to speed as they work through players being in and out of the lineup as well as players being on minutes restrictions. The main piece of this all is Joel Embiid. The big fella is working his way back from knee problems and has had to battle through being in and out of the lineup as well as minutes restrictions. There isn’t much he can do other than to listen to the doctors and get back up to speed, but with the break in the schedule due to the Sixers not advancing to the NBA Cup knockout rounds, that has to be a big help, right?For Embiid, he isn’t a fan of it.”I don’t really like it that much because, for me, I keep mentioning rhythm,” Embiid said after the loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. “I just wanna play so hopefully, we’ll have a few practices to try and use that to work on myself and just play basketball and get back to it.”Rhythm is a big factor for Embiid at the moment. He has been asking the staff for longer stints on the floor so he can find that rhythm so the hope for him is to have more live action in practice throughout the week in order to prepare for Friday’s contest with the Indiana Pacers and beyond.He knows there has to be a balance as the Sixers look to rest him as well, but the big fella is welcoming more time to actually play basketball.”It’s hard, but this is when you gotta balance it out,” Embiid finished. “Obviously, it’s up to them as far as the load in each one of them. So, just gotta follow whatever they say, but I think just try to balance it out between loading it, not loading it as much because, obviously, games are extremely important and going from there.”This article originally appeared on Sixers Wire: Joel Embiid gives thoughts on the break in the schedule for Sixers
