Philadelphia fans had a minor freakout before tipoff against the Lakers when Joel Embiid -- still yet to play as a 76er -- did pregame ceremonies in warmups:

— Philadelphia 76ers (@Sixers) March 30, 2015 A surprise late-March Embiid debut would be BANANAS for Sixers fans, but it’s not gonna happen. He’s not active. Well, not active for basketball-playing purposes, but in the literal sense, he is very active:
That athletic outfit is waaaay more suitable for Shmoney dancing than the usual suit.
There’s an explanation for the warmups, by the way:
Embiid was in sweats to do jersey swap with fans before game. He had to be in sweats to do it. He is now getting treatment. Not playing
