The preseason may be underway in the NBA, but there are still questions and rumors surrounding Joel Embiid.
With Embiid's injury expected to sideline him for at least another few months, there are rumblings that the 76ers may shut him down for the season, as they did with Nerlens Noel a year ago.
Embiid was taking shots from a chair as recently as a week ago, per Sixers beat writer Tom Moore of Calkins Media:
