PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joel Embiid envisioned winning an NBA championship with James Harden at his side.

While Nurse publicly said all the right things ahead of the trade about welcoming Harden back, he admitted Thursday that he never truly believed he would coach Harden. “I think he did a lot of great things for us,” Embiid said.
