Embiid will never play another game in Denver. First he was scared to play Jokic on the road and now his body can’t even compete in regular games, much less a mile high up
His knee is done for it’s not gonna get any better. I wonder how much cartilage is left but I bet there’s barely any left if it keeps swelling up like it is
This. Many fans can’t grasp that injuries truly impact people and players long term. Somebody his size with the amount of injuries he has, playing this sport, it’s not going to get better. Same with Kawhi. It’s only getting worse.
@nicholaspinkston1407 if you're a 76ers fan how could you not care? They owe that man 400 million dollars over the next 5 years and he has a degenerative knee disorder. And you're asking a 76ers fan why he cares? Stop simping for Embiid.
Marc Gasol made embiid drop 0 points in a game for the onky time in his career post rookie, i guess he is the best of the 3 by that h2h logic@kaysheye7784
One of the reporters that covers the Denver Nuggets stated that they were waiting in the media room after the game, which is next to the visitors locker room, and the 76ers were screaming at each other after the game. Didn't give details to what exactly was said, but they are definitely struggling in the chemistry area.
Maxey can't carry the load as a 1st option, he needs the gravity to play his game. There's a reason his stats dip when there's no Embiid or George carrying the main load
Embiid has had knee issues since Kansas. He’s been dealing with these injuries for a long time. Look, if he needs to sit for the season, he needs to retire. He’ll never be able to play meaningful minutes in a season ever again if he can’t make it to All-Star break - playing under 15 games. You can sit him all year if you want, but his knees will flare up again as soon as he tries to play games the following season. And how is he supposed to stay in basketball shape if he has to rest so much? It’s not like he can rest every game but then participate in contact practices.
I’m starting to think most these players are just not trying to play. Mpj for example was hurt coming into the nba with a back injury. This year he has played every game so respect
I just watched that docu series with Jimmy butler losing his dad last season. He was his biggest cheer leader and I wonder if his happiness has to do with that. 🤔
Marc Spears needs to leave ESPN immediately! He doesn't know anything and says easily some the dumbest things ever. He tried to throw shade at Chiney and glad that everyone put him in his place for the stupidity
The NBA in season tournament prize should be a trade boost that results in either… - Automatic 15th pick of teams make the playoffs (Tradable) - Lottery booster if team misses the playoffs (1.5%) in the upcoming draft (Tradable) It all depends on where they land in the playoff picture. It’s perfect for things like this.
My Take is that Embid's style of play is the cause of his injuries. He try to sell his flopping so hard that he needs to drop to the floor and bang his body to the ground. It also create a higher chance for him to get injured by the other team players.
Just let him do what he does now. He'll shut down all on his own. Doesn't play back to backs. Made of glass. I trade him for what I can get. Because you can't build a team around a guy that never plays or is always hurt come playoff time. If he not hurt, he has terrible playoffs when it matters most. Talented sure but what good is talent when you don't play. Philly has won nothing with him. If he goes and they win nothing they are the same team and losing Embiid doesn't matter.
Im tired of Embiid being scared to play against Jokic its getting ridiculous all of a sudden Dever games he's hurt or dissappear into the mist of Joker arrival
The worst thing happened to Joel and the 76ers with him winning the MVP and was not healthy, but played through it now He would never be the same or even close, maybe 50 games a year going forward !
Spears and Shams but it out there. No BS. Is it really worth it. At least some "analysts" and reporters are saying what needs to be said. Chiney being nice and hopeful. Nah. Just say what you really feel.
If the Sixers were serious about positioning themselves for the future, you make a call… PG and a min guy to the Heat, Jimmy to Suns, Beal and 3 FRPs to the Sixers.
Yess he’s obviously hurt, and should probably not be rushed back this season and recover to make sure his career has some longevity. He’s just trying to come back too soon for whatever reason. Man everyone turning on him needs to know he works hard and wants to win and play as many games as possible.
Sixers need to be under investigation. How this team go from being a contender to the lottery. Especially during a year with one of the greatest draft. Here we go with the process again.
Embiid can't endure a full NBA Season time to wrap it up. He don't care enough and obviously doesn't do enough phys therapy or take care of himself enough.
Perk didn’t say if it was 5th we all be drunk. Thats e40 in 1991 on mr. Flamboyant. “Partner If it was a fifth, we’d all be drunk” give credit where credit is due lo
Embiid has played with 9 former/current all stars. Jokic has never played with another all star player before until this season (former all star Russell Westbrook). If Jokic had multiple current all star players on his team, then they would win another championship.
Embiid would be the unanomious MVP every single year if he played. But he can't play. It's sad that he is gonna retire with 1 MVP only. It could have been 5+ if healthy.
@paul adding KD did not make them worse. They got worse because Chris Paul aged and had to be moved. KD was injured when he arrived in Phoenix and only played a few game with CP3. CP for Beal made the team worse, because the fit was AWFUL. They lost their true floor general, now you aren’t maximizing Bookers potential Book is a stud but has never won without a really good point guard.

Giannis, Dame, Beal if they can keep a solid bench with some key role players is low key a championship 🤔
Beal who?😂😂😂😂
The process did not really work out for Philly. All those years of losing to not even make the ECF
My Take is that Embid's style of play is the cause of his injuries. He try to sell his flopping so hard that he needs to drop to the floor and bang his body to the ground. It also create a higher chance for him to get injured by the other team players.
