PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia 76ers oft-injured center Joel Embiid could potentially play in both ends of back-to-back games this season.Sixers coach Brett Brown also says Jahlil Okafor should be ready for opening night on Oct. 26 in his recovery from surgery on his right knee. Brown says Nerlens Noel may not be ready for the opener as he recovers from a groin injury.Embiid sat out the past two seasons because a broken right foot and had been on a minutes restriction in the preseason. Brown has increased Embiids minutes and says he may be ready to handle the grind of back-to-back games. The Sixers first set of consecutive games is Nov. 1 and 2.Embiid caused a scare when he landed awkwardly on his right foot in the first half of Saturdays 97-76 loss to the Detroit Pistons, but he played in the second half for the first time in six preseason games and wowed the crowd by faking a spin before a left-handed layup and emphatic first pump for part of his team-high 15 points.I like the pressure, I like the responsibility, said Embiid, who was 5-of-8 from the floor with five rebounds and an ugly seven turnovers before a crowd that cheered his every move.We all see how good we think he can be, Brown said.Brown, in his fourth season, said he would take a cautious approach with Embiids minutes.There are some times just with normal aches and the other parts of his body that you pay attention. Its still a 275-pound, 7-foot-2 man going up and down the court, he said. How about his motor, when he puts his mind to it? How about his lateral quickness, when he puts his mind to it? To get that stuff, just harder, longer, makes you think we have to take this course.Okafor has been sidelined since he had surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his knee in March. Noel says he was hurt in the first week of training camp and has not played in the preseason.The Associated Press contributed to this report.?

If the Bulldogs are to have any hope of securing a home elimination final, theyre going to have to conquer the greatest Docker of all time.The Bulldogs need to beat Fremantle at Domain Stadium on Sunday - and rely on either GWS or Hawthorn losing - if they are to sneak into fifth or sixth spot.On paper, the Bulldogs should romp to victory against a Fremantle outfit who has won just three games this season.But this is no ordinary game, with the match doubling as an emotional send-off to Pavlich.The 34-year-old will hang up his boots at the end of the game, and a packed crowd is expected to be present for his farewell.Pavlich needs just one more goal to reach the 700 mark. If he achieves that, hell become just the third player to notch both 350 games and 700 goals.Bernie Quinlan (366 games, 817 goals) and Kevin Bartlett (403 games, 778 goals) are the other two.The Dockers failed dismally in their two most recent milestone games.In Pavlichs 350th, Fremantle copped a 90-point hammering at the hands of Sydney.Annd in skipper David Mundys 250th-game milestone last week, Fremantle were flogged by 92 points by GWS.ddddddddddddPavlich is well loved by his teammates.And if theres a game where theyre willing to bleed just that little bit more, it will be this one.All Ive implored the guys to do is play with passion, play some hard football, and be unconditional to each other, and not let their teammates down, Pavlich said.If we walk off the field knowing weve delivered upon that, Ill be able to look at them all in the eye afterwards and really enjoy their company.I remember playing in Shaun McManuss farewell game in 2008. That was a really emotional day for us all, because he was the heart and soul of the team.I still hear from Shaun and he talks about how high esteem he holds the individuals that played well for him on that day. So theres a little bit of that going into this weekend as well. ' ' '
