After being officially crowned the 2022-23 NBA MVP, Joel Embiid made some waves by telling his teammates 'I'm back' at shootaround as the Philadelphia 76ers get set to take on the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night at TD Garden. Embiid spoke with media on his return and if he'll end up suiting up against the Celtics in Game 2 of the Conference Semifinals.

Is it too early for Embiid to return? Is he taking a risk? Will his return actually hurt the 76ers after they found an effective way to attack the Celtics in Game 1? The Garden Report's Bobby Manning chimes in onsite at TD Garden and discuss Joel Embiid's status heading into Wednesday night's matchup.
