"I'm just thankful to be in a position where I get to play," Embiid said.

He also expressed his relief at not having to think about what could have been if he was healthy.

"I didn't want to go home and think about it all summer," Embiid added.

The 76ers will look to build on their momentum in Game 6.

With Embiid leading the way, they have a chance to make a deep playoff run.

Embiid's health will be crucial to their success, but he is determined to make it work.

And the 76ers will need all hands on deck if they want to win a championship.
