doing the exact opposite of what doctors say you need to do is lack of common sense shyt. Not wearing your walking boot and trying to run and shoot jumpers and dunk the ball when you should wear a walking boot is just :dwillhuh::why::mindblown:

Oh I agree, don't get it twisted. I just think they need to invest in some veteran professionals with good work ethic to set the right example. Or a no nonsense coach/GM.

I wonder how he was acting at Kansas

I think he still will be a great big man. There is no way he loses his post game thru these injuries. If he ever gets healthy, I expect him to be just as good as he was projected to be our of college. nikka had one of the best post skillset I have ever seen straight out of college.

He might get moved though. If Philly aint liking his attitude, someone else will trade for him as soon as he becomes availiable. Think about teams that might be rebuilding in the near future with currently good rosters, but not good enough to win. I can easily see nikkas like Noah or Randolph ect being thrown out there to secure a possible future if he gets healthy.

Makes perfect sense to me. Rehab sucks. You get antsy. One day of feeling fine, and your ego is inflated to pre injury levels. So you push your limit and get injured again.

It fits well with the story about his diet. He still thinks he's invincible. Shouldn't he feel that way? He's still on an NBA roster. They're still going out of their way to court him. He hasn't bounced from team to team to team. Compared to 4yrs ago, is he not currently in a tremendously better situation?

It's like the blue chip athlete that has to lose their scholarship and play JUCO before they smarten up and turn their life around.

I would understand this if dude had played an NBA game or if his season at Kansas hadnt ended due to an injury.

Just because Embiid hasn't played yet doesn't mean his contract hasn't started. The incentive to watch over him won't be there. Hell, he's overpaid now.
