I told y'all his career is over. My sources been in the news media since the 70s he well connected. I be finding sht out before it hits the news when he comes in the barbershop. Like stated before the franchise thought it would be manageable but every time he comes on the court his knee swells for days.

I think after this year you will see if the 76ers may file a grievances to put him on medical to get out of the contract.
Definitely sounds like an arthritic condition

How much of his career was wasted flopping like a bytch? If he comes back hopefully he spends less time attempting to draw fouls and more hooping in an ethical way.

Not even the flopping, his last few years his half court offense was fine (all time great in fact) but what got him was all the reckless dumb shyt he be doing, esp on defense

Too many times he be lumbering full speed tryna chase down block someone in traffic, landing in a heap and I’m just like did he turn his fukkin brain off? Let that shyt go

If fake hustle was a thing, then he practiced chaotic hustle. Hell, he used to have chaotic offense, tryna eurostep from the 3point like through 3 defenders… like wtf is you doing bruh

The knee seemed inevitable but he expedited it

He also didn’t do himself any favors being out of shape for years, that’s the harsh truth


GOATcan got leaner as his career progressed to lessen the chances of injuries, it’s not rocket science but Embiid didn’t give a shyt

He flopped like that because the doctor stated his knee couldn't take the load no diddy. It was better to fall etc.. than land on his knee or plant hard

him always being out of shape is more to blame imo
Philly should’ve traded him in 23 when they lost to Boston but that franchise is incompetent
