    Second Verse

    On his first visit, Joel Embiid was given an entirely new regiment of exercises, stress monitors, and reeducation.  But ultimately, he was measured, tracked, and plotted. In the second visit, all of the data was brought together as an individual treatment plan to heal 7-foot-2 Embiid.

    With the 76ers staff along, that plan would follow Embiid back to the USA, and back to the NBA.  In fact, techniques learned would be incorporated into the rehab of other players too.  Two years was a long time to wait. But the Philadelphia 76ers made certain it was worth it.
