"He has a chance to be really f------ good," Green said via The 700 Level"I haven't had a chance to watch him. I think he has a chance to be damn good. He's figuring it out. He's versatile. He can do a lot of things."

Embiid will miss Monday's game against Green and the Warriors. Embiid is suffering from a minor left meniscus tear and has not played since January 27th. The team hopes to get him back on March 3rd against the Knicks.

The Warriors are a league-best 49-9 record.
