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

The person didn't mention that. It was selfish of him but me personally I think he knew his time coming to an end and he wanted to experience it
76ers thought it was manageable but they didn't listen to the best doctors in America. Philly has some of the best doctors in the country and they knew his knee was shot
Ball smaller so it's easier Embiid 7 foot 280 maybe more now. Dude never took his health and weight serious.

So why y'all give him the extension if they knew his knees were done

They thought it was manageable which is why they said he won't play back to back but dude knee is completely cooked it doesn't matter. Once he on the court his knee will swell no matter what afterward.

I feel like this is a washed season for the Sixers anyway after their awful start and Joel is just taking advantage of the situation :yeshrug: they're not getting out of that hole, shyt they can barely get into play-in position, so what fools truly believe Philly can make some deep miraculous postseason push at this point of the season?

In Joel's case, he might as well “rest” at this point.

He still has a few good seasons left but we're kidding ourselves if this year isn't already finished for Philly and might as well just go with the flow and hope to draft well.

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?
He runs the franchise breh. It’s been that way for years..

They already have a nucleus post Embiid with McCain Maxey. They just have to get this lottery pick.

They rolled the dice and extended a dude coming off an mvp :yeshrug: Morey wouldn’t be the only GM to make that call

It is what it is tho
