>Joel, how much better do you feel, just physically and in terms of like the force that you were able to play with tonight versus the game in Boston?
**Embiid:**
>Um, I didn’t. I didn’t necessarily feel better, um, I thought. Um, you know, obviously, I’m on heavy minute restrictions. So, I came in the first game. Trying, obviously first game in a couple months. I know I played the pre-season, but it’s not. It’s not the same. It’s not even close.
>Um, you know, trying to walk my way, you know, back, and trying to figure it out. Uh, you know, first, game in a month. Obviously, it’s easier when you make shots like I did tonight. It looks better, but I think it was just the same. And then, tonight, you know, the first game it was more like getting into the game, you know, slowly, you know, figured it out. Tonight was more like, well. I only got 20 minutes.
>Um, I mean, the one thing that I don’t like about the minute restrictions is because you know you, you know, you only got, you know, three or four stints, and you’re coming out. **So, that makes me put myself, kind of, like, not necessary at risk, but kind of, like, push myself. And you know, the first game, I, I didn’t fall down. And today, I fell down like, you know, five times, um, because I was just trying to, you know, I’m, like, yeah, I only got this amount of minutes. If I don’t make an impact, then I’m not going to get the chance. And you know, I’m not going to do anything in 20 minutes. So that’s the bad look when it comes to that, um.** But same feeling, just getting used to playing basketball again. Um, but it looks better when you’re making shots.
Embiid is really battling through injury. Hope his body doesn’t continue to betray him. Hope he feels 100% soon.
