Embiid posterizes Noel during 76ers scrimmage
Sixers / Twitter
Joel Embiid is starting to get comfortable playing basketball against pros.
The Philadelphia 76ers center dunked all over teammate Nerlens Noel during a scrimmage Wednesday afternoon.
Embiid is finally seeing his first action against NBA competition, having missed the past two years with a right foot injury.
The 7-footer told reporters afterward that he went through Day 2 of training camp without a minutes restriction, but is still getting used to the speed of the game.
Despite having an off day, it seems Embiid won the head-to-head battle against the 6-foot-11 Noel, whom he dwarfed and even taunted for good measure.
