It's not really a freak injury, his biggest problem and why he's getting hurt is because he doesn't know how to land. They need to work on his leg strength, his core and focus on how he comes down after he jumps. He often lands straight legged and on his heels which is basically the worst possible way to come down.
that's the one thing I noticed early on also. he was always slipping and landing awkwardly while on the floor. he's going to have to figure that out.

It seems shady, they trade Noel away, then Ben Simmons is ruled out for the year with an injury that takes 3-4 months, now Embiid is out after they've let him practice for the last month?

They did an MRI on his knee already, and then let him practice with a torn meniscus?

The nikka is healthy. They want another top 3 pick. Hinkie is the cut orchestrating all this shyt.

MY Heatles did the same shyt with Wade the past few years. Gave that nikka time off and faked injury reports.

Embid has played 25 games in 3 years , never over 30 minutes and already broke down again this year


That pretty much goes to show all that minutes restriction crap is BS...


Colo brehs so they move Noel for 2nd round Pick and Justin Anderson smdh with the only healthy Centers now being Jahlil and Holmes

This sucks I don't buy that it was a freak injury though

it was the same with Amare and McDyess and all the rest. A freak injury that became. chronic

when you have a freak injury after missing 2 years for another injury its not nothing. This isn't good

I've never experienced the physical pain of getting kneecapped with the Draco, but I imagine it's similar to the feeling of being a Sixers fan.

This shyt really hurts brehs. :mjcry:

He definitely got hurt against the Blazers, but the fact they let him play a week later is just :mindblown: if they knew his knee had a torn meniscus.

After they said he was out indefinitely I didn't expect him to play again this season, but if he requires surgery then it's legit and somebody should be fired for letting him play and practice. If he doesn't need surgery then yeah they're just trying for a pick.
