March Madness features several NBA prospects. But they likely won't get drafted among 1st few picks

Anyone watching the NCAA Tournament exclusively to get a closer look at the top prospects in the upcoming NBA draft is in for a disappointment
MARCH 17ā€¢ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joel Embiid returns to Sixers practice for first time since injuring left knee in JanuaryPHILADELPHIA - The 76ers had Joel Embiid back on the court for practice Sunday, and at least one new teammate was impressed by his presence....

Kai Jones - Dealing with hamstring strainJones has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat due to a right hamstring strain.
ImpactJones signed a 10-day deal with the 76ers on Friday but was sent to the G League to start his Philly tenure. He played well in two games for the Delaware Blue Coats but appears to have suffered an injury in his latest appearance. Jones' next chance to make his 76ers debut comes Wednesday in Phoenix, but the severity of the injury remains unclear.

Tobias Harris - Officially considered questionableHarris (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Miami.
ImpactAfter not practicing Sunday, Harris dodging a doubtful designation is a good sign, but his status remains murky for Monday's contest. Harris hasn't missed more than two consecutive contests across the past two seasons, so his track record supports a return in short order even if he's unavailable Monday.

Joel Embiid - Limited at practice, no timetableCoach Nick Nurse said Embiid (knee) participated in parts of the 76ers' non-contact practice Sunday, but there's still no return timetable for the reigning MVP, Lauren Rosen of the...
ImpactEmbiid continues to progress in his rehab following a Feb. 6 surgery to address a left meniscus injury, and it's encouraging to see him doing basketball activities. However, the big man will likely miss at least a handful of more games, as he'll presumably need to regain his conditioning after being cleared for contact work. The Sixers have fallen into the Play-In Tournament during Embiid's absence, and they'll likely remain there if he doesn't return to game action soon.

Robert Covington - Ramping up, still no timetableCovington (knee) did some on-court work following Sunday's practice and is ramping up for a return to game action, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ImpactCovington has been sidelined for two-plus months due to a bone bruise in his knee, but it appears he's nearing a return. His status for Monday's matchup versus the Heat should be released Sunday night, but he'll likely miss at least a few more games, as he's yet to be cleared for full-contact drills.
