Joel Embiid career is essentially over

[triplehate]

We’ll all eventually die

Low key

I just don’t understand what happened between the olympics and now. If they knew his knee was that fukked why even let him play?

It wasn't the Olympics it was this




As an Embiid stan he's never been the same since this moment

 

[T-K-G]

The moment that pretty much ended it

Part of me knew it was over after that moment

Wasn't it also the warriors who started Kawhi's "Peg Leg" journey?

how you sacrifice ANOTHER TEAM'S players careers to the devil so your own team can start a dynasty?

And how do I get that type of contract set up for myself

 

[Dem313wayz]

A few things...

1. Why did he play in the Olympics?
2. Why did they give him that extension?
3. Lonzo Ball's recovery gives guys that are trending toward bone to bone knee issues hope

He clearly played in the Olympics to have a championship on his resume

Sucks. A crash out bonehead role player cements Joel's injury history with a meathead play.

Just

Yeah they need to tank. McCain is out for the year. You can’t rely on Embiid for anything, PG looks like an old man out there. They’re already buried in the standings, no miracle runs are coming.

Might as well get your lotto pick back. If you don’t get Flagg, maybe you get one of the two Rutgers kids.

And he only played bc the media said he was faking the injury.

McCain
Maxey
Edwards
Ace Bailey

And we back like cooked crack

someone on reddit said he's sat 400 games and played 450 games in his career. IDK if that's true or not, but it's wild

 

[GoldenGlove]

What he's doing is unprecedented and prior to him actually playing, most experts and professionals in the medical field said he was done.

You don't remember the back and forth with Stephen A about his "sources" saying he couldn't walk without pain? Nobody else in the NBA has gotten the procedure that Lonzo got. Hardly any professional athletes have gotten it and been able to play

 

[Koapa]

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know his knees were/are on borrowed time. Dude was limping around at the start of the Olympics. If I'm the 76ers, I would have never allowed him to play in the Olympics.

The same can be said about Kawhi. Dude knee is done.

Embiid was on his way to back to back mvps last season before he got hurt..let’s not rewrite history

He was dominant while healthy and I’m glad he got his money…everything else is on the sixers org

He put 70 & 18 on wemby’s head just last year

Lonzo was only like 24 when he got hurt. And 6’6. He missed 2 full seasons.

Embiid is 30 and 7’1. If he has that type of time off his career is over
