The Sixers got some good news on Monday as Joel Embiid returned to practice. Albeit, as a partial participant, but it is something for Philadelphia as it moves forward.

Eric Gordon has returned to form as well, and Ricky Council had a productive game in Delaware then was back for a strong outing against the Lakers.
