Sixers soundbites: Nick Nurse says Joel Embiid is 'ramping up,' did not scrimmage in first day of training camp
However, Embiid did participate in every other aspect of the team's practice in full, Nurse said, who confirmed Embiid is not dealing with an injury of any kind. Rather, the Sixers are "ramping up" their best player. Veteran guards Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon followed the same schedule, according to Nurse.
