Nick Nurse discusses new offensive role for Embiid with Sixers

Nick Nurse indicated that Joel Embiid will have an adjusted offensive role as the Philadelphia 76ers adapt with new players. With the arrivals of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, the team will work to find space for all three stars on the court. Nurse emphasized the need for Embiid to occupy different positions to keep defenses guessing. This approach aims to maintain Embiid's contributions, as he averaged 26.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 3.9 assists last season despite playing in only 38 games. The team is in the process of figuring out effective movement patterns to maximize their offensive output.
