76ers' Joel Embiid: Sits final half versus Brazil
Embiid was held out of the second half of Tuesday's 122-87 win over Brazil in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympics due to ankle discomfort, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports. The 30-year-old posted 14 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 12 minutes.
Embiid reportedly told coach Steve Kerr at halftime that he was experiencing ankle discomfort, and he was rested for the remainder of the game. While the big man's status is something to monitor ahead of the Olympic semifinals, he will likely suit up, as Team USA has a tall order ahead of it against Serbia and Nikola Jokic. Despite playing only the first half of the contest against Brazil, Embiid's ability to score and dominate on the glass amid ankle discomfort bodes well for Team USA if he returns to action in the squad's next contest Thursday.

76ers' Joel Embiid: Gets green light Sunday

The superstar will be playing in his first Olympic game for the United States, and through five exhibition matchups he has shown he will likely be a focal point on the stacked roster.

Embiid followed up a 2-for-8 performance from the field Wednesday against Serbia with two extremely efficient outings, shooting a combined 10-for-14 across the USA's last two exhibition games. Embiid's ability to move the ball Monday was also impressive as he led the squad in assists. The All-Star has been elite on the boards through five exhibition matchups thus far, averaging 6.8 rebounds per game.

76ers' Adem Bona: Inks four-year deal with Philly
Bona agreed to a four-year, $8 million contract with the 76ers on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Selected with the 41st overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Bona will now be assured a spot on the 76ers' 15-man roster to open the season after signing with the club. The contract comes after the UCLA product has gotten off to a strong start to the Summer League, averaging 6.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks in 22.7 minutes through four games. Though he's shown promise thus far, Bona will be hard pressed to open the season as a member of the 76ers' rotation after the team signed Andre Drummond earlier in the offseason to presumptively slot in as Joel Embiid's backup.
