Embiid, Okafor to play vs. Celtics

It will  mark Embiid's first game since playing as a Kansas freshman on March 1, 2014, at Oklahoma State University. The third overall pick of the 2014 NBA draft, Embiid missed his last two seasons due to having surgery in each of the last two summers to repair the navicular bone in his right foot. He sat out Thursday's scrimmages to rest.
